Getting in shape

For me I find running long distances helps me stay in Shape

[Soon.GR]

Hey guys,

Opened this one to talk about getting in shape. Any queries, feel free to post. I will answer to my best knowledge.

Let me do an intro...

I'm Andy. Very short, small sized guy. Before building up a decent physique, (social)life was kinda pathetic. Asked 10 girls out, 9 will say no. The one who said yes, will look like monster or teletubby.

Too bored and no dates during Poly(after NS), started walking into gym since it doesn't need any dates. Started seeing good results, went more often. From once every other week, eventually trained 5 times a week. Took part in bodybuilding contests, had great fun.

Life has changed since stepping into gym almost 10yrs back.

Most importantly, confidence was boosted, spirit lifted, body feels strong and young. I love it.

I want to share this goodness with people. That's what keeps me going in this job. Not many can tahan a job that requires long hours and no guaranteed income.

Since we're mostly MEN here, I hope you guys take good care of your bodies. You take care of your body, it will give you lots of happiness that money can't buy.

good job bro. health is wealth

to get in shape, you need be very disciple and most important determination.. haha just like how you aim to find a good watch!

I slim down from 83kg to 70kg but thats depend what your intention.

Running 40min (estimate 4.5k at least) for 3 times a week with good diet for dinner (e.g fish or just fruits) will get you lean in 3months - 6months time.

Good luck guys out there!

hi anyone knows how to cut down on intake of rice...getting old but still love eating rice and tummy getting bigger

Personally i would rate diet more important than exercising, you may not have the time to exercise but you definitely can afford to eat less!

Gym at macpherson cc anyone here? Finding kakis

[luketan]

my daily supplement regime consists of vit c (2 x 1000mg), calcium tabs (500mg) and fish oils (for cardiovascular health). Thus far it's effective in curbing colds and flus.

Oh and exercising regularly (4 or more times per week) helps too!
