Hello,
I am wondering which sport will build my body in general and the fastest way.
My muscles are growing quite fast, it doesn't take too long. I want to go back in shape but I need to see results quickly 'cause I know I'll lose my motivation.
Swimming, Jogging, cycling?
To all the sports experts on this forum, I'll appreciate your advises.
All round muscle building would involve lifting weights if you are after this look No fast results when it comes to health.
Ewwwww!
No, I just want to lose the fat and build a bit of muscle. I always been sportive and the muscles are there, they just need to come out from under the fat.
Err, thanks, I think,
Brian.
To have a normal body I would no bother with weights and I wouldn't go to gyms on those daft running machines etc. and keep the dosh you save for a holiday and to buy chocolates
I would stick to swimming and cycling and walking but at a high pace.
Cycling does wonder for the abdominals and buttocks and even your arms when you are pulling on the handle bars. Once you get into cycling; try and get toe straps because you will tone up even more muscles and get to places faster and last longer.
Swimming is another great exercice because you don't feel the strain on the muscles so much until you finsh because the weight has been taken off you in the water and you don't notice that you are sweeatting so don't slow the pace so much.
Walking Fast try and find stairs and hills to walk up as well and then relax walking down.
These exercises will give you all round fitness and are useful for everyday life and you won't look like a freak.
ashtanga yoga (if available) will help strength and flexibility too. it's not the just the relaxing thing most people think of when they think of yoga
but i think it depends what muscles you wanna build up or tone.
I also recommend Alexander technique when you want to relax and do nothing for body posture.
Posture appears to be a real problem now a days. As a male I see a lot of attractive females but then they let themmselves down by the way they carry (dragging their feet/legs) themselves and posture (curved slouched shoulders).
I don't care if I take weight on the scale, I care of losing cm on my butt, waist, arms and legs.
for a*s toning- come visit us in lausanne. there's a helluva hill that will put everything nicely into place !
Have you joined a gym yet? They have it in both Fitorama and Fitnessplus in Basel
Squats are incredible effective, one of the best ways to burn fat and build muscle as it caused almost all of your major muscles to be used. Whilst you might concentrate more effort into you arms on a Monday, your belly on a Wednesday, and then your chest on a Friday, it helps to mix in 3 reps of 5 squats every time you workout.
But for true fat burning you need cardio.
I want to.......... I have the motivation but after 2-3 times at the gym, I am bored as hell and I quit.
So I promised myself this time, no gym, I need the real thing who'll make me going and keep my motivation.
