that.gurl03 0 Posted March 13, 2008 What exercises do you do? I am just curious because I have been going to the gym and I mostly do eliptical and then at home I stretch and do sit ups. But I'm just curious as to what workout plan you guys do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted March 13, 2008 Mainly I run, but I try to limit it to 3 8km runs a week because I'm old and my body is battered by it to some extent. So two other days I do a treadmill circuit at home - which involves a bit of running, or incline walking, and lots of weighted squats, lunges, push ups, tricep dips, arm and shoulder exercises with dumbells and abdominal work. I do them fast with pretty heavy weights and it keeps my heart rate up for an entire hour, strength training and cardio combined. But basically, whatever you will actually DO regularly is the best exercise. I think all the info out there about how to exercise in your fat burning zone, or how lots of cardio burns up your muscle, or how you should ONLY do strength training or how circuit is best etc, its all intimidating. The basic fact is for a fat person who has been sedentary anything will work. You may wish to get scientific about it when you want to win a bodybuilding contest in 2 years time, but until then, just get out there and do it and you'll be thrilled with the results.
