Pros n cons of some exercise + sport

[Acerace]

pushups in the bedroom seems to have great effect on the body. only thing is, you need a partner to help out

reminds me of doing seat up once a day everytime I get out of bed :O

Usually a good mix of the following should help to lose weight:

Exercise

1. Cardio (run,cycle, swim etc)
2. High Intensity Interval (free weights, calistenic, sprints, usually high rep with short rest intervals)
3. Resistance (calistenic, free weights, heavy lifting,usually low reps)

Diet and rest
-go low carb, mid to high fat and protein
-Sleep before 12am and at least 7-8 hours a day and no food 2-3 hours prior

I exercise 3-4 times a week , gym and swim but my weight always remains the same. I may lose 1 kg but later that 1 kg will eventually come back...it is safe to consume diet pills? I have Friends who consume they lose weight so fast without exercising, i feel so jealous..

Walking:

Upside: Three hours a week cuts your risk of heart disease by 40pc. Makes bones stronger and less prone to osteoporosis, can slow memory loss. Easy, safe and free.
Downside: You really need to tot up at least 16,000 steps a day of walking before the pounds start dropping off.

Running


Upside: Burns more fat per minute than any other form of cardiovascular activity; regular runners far less likely to die prematurely than non-runners; creates a release of endorphins that can cause a general feeling of happiness.
Downside: High injury potential. Feet hit ground 800 to 1,000 times a mile during run with an impact equivalent to about three times the body's weight. Can lead to arthritis. Suppresses appetite.

Swimming


Upside: Exercises all main muscle groups; strengthens lungs; excellent for aerobic fitness and easing joint and back problems.
Downside: Makes you hungry and craving fatty foods like chocolate and cakes. Poor technique can cause muscle strains, neck and back pain. Non-weight bearing so not useful in bone-building.

Golf


Upside: Mentally demanding; improves concentration and decision-making. An average 18-hole course requires an 8km walk.
Downside: Risk of lower back pain high and golfer's elbow; perceived as boring and elitist; expensive.

Tennis


Upside: Good for cardiovascular fitness and core body strength; intense bursts of energy followed by rest helps muscles use oxygen efficiently; improves leg strength, balance and hand-eye coordination.
Downside: Risk of tennis elbow, sprained ankle or twisted knee; knees and ankles must accommodate quick stops and starts, and sudden changes of direction.

Cycling


Upside: Good for deep breathing and strengthening lungs and heart muscle.
Bad for: Low impact nature of this sport means it doesn't build strong bones; can lead to chronic back pain; cyclists vulnerable to pot-holes and dangerous drivers.

Rugby


Upside: Bulks muscles and promotes physical strength; good for team bonding.
Downside: Considered the most dangerous team sport; can lead to serious physical conditions such as arthritis; head injuries can lead to dementia in later life.

Riding


Upside: Promotes core body strength, balance and posture. One hour riding can burn similar calories to 30-minute jog or cycle; contact with horses relieves stress; good for communing with nature.
Downside: Horses can be unpredictable. Falling off part and parcel of the sport and can lead to serious injuries.

Weight-lifting


Upside: Good for toning and building up bulk; can help shed fat without dieting; helps strengthen bones.
Downside: Doesn't improve aerobic fitness; puts sudden stress on heart.
