Resolved Question: Excessive Training- Schedule Included?

Hi there! Alright, so, as some of you may or may not know, I have just gotten my membership at the local YMCA gym. The YMCA is great because it offers a wide variety of machines and programs that get your muscles and bodies working in all sorts of different ways. Now, yesterday was my first time at the gym with my membership. I had been there a few times before, but this was my first time with access to all of the equipment and programs. With a bit of advice from a former question I had asked concerning time and endurance at the gym, I saw a fitness trainer, who made me up a routine schedule to adapt to my needs and desires at the gym. The routine is only on Set machines, (weights), and includes the following: 1. Leg Press Selection (Series Two), 30 Reps x 80 lbs 2. Chest Press Selection (Series Two), 30 Reps x 25 lbs 3. Pulldown Selection (Series Two), 30 Reps x 45 lbs 4. Shoulder Press Selection (Series Two), 30 Reps x 5 lbs 5. Abdominal Crunch Selection (Series Two), 30 Reps, 30 lbs 6. Lower Back Bench Extensions, 15 Reps Front, 10 Reps Each Side Which I think is very reasonable considering I'm a starter. She told me to find a schedule that works right for me. Yesterday, however, I decided my motto would be "Exercise Until You Feel Tired", and thus I ended up working out for a total of 7 hours, with two hours of break spread out in between. And this morning, I am in a large amount of pain. I realize that my decision was irrational and excessive, and so I have tried to come up with a schedule for me to follow so that I can stay away from excessive exercise (It IS addictive!). This schedule includes between 1-2 1/2 hours each day, and is as follows: Sunday: Group Centergy (Pilates, and Yoga) - 1 hour YMCA Express Core (Core Body Training using BOSU and/or weights with focus on abdominal and back strengthening - 1/2 Hour Y-Step Beginner (Aerobic Workout) - 1/2 Hour Monday: Bellyfit (1/2 hour of Cardio and 1/2 hour of Pilates) - 1 Hour 1/2 hour Cardio - 1/2 hour Routine on SETS - About 1/2 hour Tuesday: 1 Hour Cardio - 1 hour Routine on SETS - About 1/2 hour Wednesday: Belly Fit (see above) - 1 hour YMCA Express Core (see above) - 1/2 hour Routine on SETS - About 1/2 hour Thursday: Yoga - 1 hour 1 hour cardio - 1 hour Routine on SETS - About 1/2 hour Friday: Y-Step Beginner (see above) - 1/2 hour Routine on SETS- About 1/2 hour Saturday: 1 Hour Cardio - 1 hour Routine on SETS - About 1/2 hour Followed by another hour of Cardio - 1 hour With this schedule, should anything be modified? Added? Taken away? If on a weekend, is intensive endurance alright if the workouts are spread between the entire day? For instance, if I were to do 2 hours of workout in the morning, and another two in the evening? And is there any additional information I should know, or take into consideration? (And what can I do for the pain in the meantime, in regards to yesterday evening? :P) Thanks a bunches, guys! more

Resolved Question: I want to recover from anorexia ...?

I want to recover from anorexia ...? I don't need sarcastic, mean-spirited comments. I'm trying to get better. Basically, this is my situation: To get this out of the way, since it is relatively important information: I am 4'11". I am not the typical anorexic; however, during one year in my life, I gained about twenty pounds and went from 110 lb. to 130 lb. My family life was hectic, but I take accountability for the stupid mistake. I did not notice it in the beginning, but once I did, I ran two hours every day with minor strength training and went back to my previous weight within about five months. My body looked the same as it did before without any stretch marks, and I wish I had stopped then. However, I relocated to another city and continued my regimen; I was lonely and redirected my energy into fitness. I dropped down to 106 lb. At some point, I developed an aversion towards food and ate in ludicrously small portions. I plummeted to 98 lb. Once I got to this point, I felt like I was finally in a weight range that was acceptable for someone of my height. The prospect of getting to 100 pounds terrified me. I went to a new school and was weighed by my Aerobics teacher, who I recall saying, "I thought so. You're such a tiny thing!" This became my identity. I was 96 lb, and felt indirectly pressured to stay that way since no one knew who I was before. I would leave parties after eating a single slice of pizza so I could run off the calories. I joined a running program. My P.E. teachers noticed I had built endurance. I dropped to 95 lb. and 19% body fat. At some point, any extra calories (a bagel, for instance), was micromanaged on the treadmill. I dropped to 88 lb. and 13% body fat. My periods stopped, but besides this no one seemed aware I had a real problem. I appeared to be highly functional and in control. Running was not as fun as it had been for me, but I still committed myself to it. I decided I no longer wanted to be like this and ate a little, but I could only manage to do it when I was out with friends and only on a weekend. Still, I thought 95 lb. was what I should reach for. I had an epiphany when I was invited to a party in the city I used to live in by an old best friend. She still embraced me, but coerced me to eat more. At the end of the day, I admitted to having an eating disorder and that this was the only time I felt truly comfortable eating food. She told me that I was beautiful at 110 pounds, but if it scares me too much, I should at least aim for 100 pounds. I took her advice, and I am now approximately 90 pounds. I eat foods with higher calories on the weekends while eating my recommended amount on week days. I was calm, but this article startled me: http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/408/... It states that if you regain weight, it basically goes straight to your stomach. I have noticed I have gotten a little softer in this area, but since I was experiencing symptoms of PMS, I thought I might be getting my period. Now I am distressed that I have ruined my body, and even though I am trying to recover, my genetic fat distribution has been warped from anorexia and that everything will go to my stomach. My figure was not "skinny", but it was not large, either. I was 34 B - 24 - 38. I am now around 30 AA - 20 - 32. Currently, my pelvis bone, which is large in comparison to the rest of my body, sticks out, as well as my hip bones and thigh bones. My spine sticks out and can seen up to my neck. I want my old body back, but I fear that I may never be able to have it, and instead get a poor substitute with a thick middle. What steps do I have to take to be myself again?I wasn't blessed with the Holy Grail of womanhood - a super high metabolism! Therefore, I can't just eat, eat, and eat ... it will catch up to me if I'm illogical about it. I have a normal metabolism, it seems. If I eat more than my suggested calorie intake, I'll gain weight. If I exercise and cut back, I'll lose weight.This is the website: http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/408/23225.html more

Voting Question: Body-building journal article- what do you think?

I've been training on and off at the gym for about 5 years now. I started when I was 14 back in 2004. I've been successful in losing a lot of weight (about 40kg) and enjoyed healthy life since then (though I've had my share of bad experiences health and diet wise, though I wont go into those). Toning up or building muscle is a concern for mostly everyone; even someone who is primarily concerned with weight loss will want to build muscle to fill their excess skin once they have rid themselves of raw body fat. Thus, a good training program is essential. What makes a training program good? This is a question that I've never really been able to answer. I've tried my fair share of 'get fit quick' schemes and crazy workout plans guaranteed to get you the distance (a lot of which were thought up by yours truly with my insane logic), but I've recently come to a realization. I've been using the same 'ideology' when it comes to training for lets say the past year now. Since a muscle requires a minimum of 24 hours rest period in order to grow and to recover, I figured the best solution would be to work one completely different muscle each day. I'm mostly concerned with upper body strength, so my weekly routine would consist of chest, shoulders and arms on 3 different days. Then the routine would repeat. I've noticed that in general, any one of my 'sessions' would consist of a 10 minute jog on the treadmill to kick-start my metabolism, energy burning, and to warm up my muscles before I hit the weights. After that, there would be perhaps 5 or 6 machines to hit during a 45 minute to 1 hour workout. It took me a while to realize this, but eventually I noticed that if I overdid it (and overdo it I shall) in the first 2 exercises, the rest of my game would suffer. I felt like I was wasting my time after the first 2 machines since I knew I wasn't performing my best for the rest of the session. So I was left with two options: 1.Moderate my session so that I'm not straining myself too early in the session, and allow myself to perform at a constant rate throughout the routine. This however will mean that I will be lifting less throughout the session. Instead of going hard jumping right into the heavy stuff, I'll be carefully keeping it light throughout the session the entire way through so that I don't strain my body. This is acceptable for an endurance or 'cut-up' training goal, but anyone who wants to put on muscle mass needs to lift heavy weights. 2.Choose a new training ideology So I came to thinking maybe it was time to try a new scheme. I personally believe its better to thrash a muscle in one or two exercises than to lightly work it over a number of exercises (I'm aiming to bulk up, not to cut up. If you wanted to get ripped, you would do the latter). Therefore, I decided that I would create a new program for myself, in which I would only do two exercises for one muscle group, and just really thrash it. Then I'd move on to another muscle group. For example: 1.Chest- Bench Press 2.Chest- Pectoral 3.Back- Pulley 4.Back- Upper Back 5.Biceps- Arm Curls 6.Biceps- Lat Match 7.Triceps- Arm Extension 8.Triceps- Dips 9.Shoulders- Shoulder Press 10.Shoulders- Cross Pulley 11.Abdominal- Crunches 12.Abdominal- Leg raises This program will be divided into two days. Each exercises will have four sets- a warm-up, two thrash sets and a cool-down. A warm-up will be weight x of 12 (2y) reps. A thrash set will consist of weight 3x and 6 reps (lets define y as 6), and a cool-down set will consist of weight 2x and have 8 (1.5y) reps. During a thrash set, if you can do more than 6 reps, then you need to increase x. This way, muscle fatigue should be minimal since each muscle group only gets worked twice, and there will be a minimal 24 hour resting period. Ideally, once these routine has been executed, there should be a 1 day break before beginning it again. This ensures that the muscles have had enough time to rest (24-48 hours). What do you think? Agree / Disagree? Comments? more

Resolved Question: Body Weight Exercises instead of Weights- Opinions and Tips?

Hello, I am an avid martial artist and triathlete and recently I have been doing the Max-OT strength training program for weights. However, I simply do too much cardio for weights to be that helpful to me, and I am not looking to gain bulk. What I am interested in is gaining muscle endurance and a little strength to help me with my activities while not gaining bulk to slow me down, so I have been told that perhaps I should look into body weight exercises instead. I was wondering if anyone had any good resources for me to look into to develop a good bodyweight routine? Or does anyone have a routine that has worked for you? I am working on being able to do things like handstand pushups and the like, so even advanced workouts would be appreciated! Thanks. more

Resolved Question: What is the best weight loss but also strength gaining fitness program? Apparently elliptical is worthless?

I used to play soccer, but now I'm in university and I haven't properly played or trained for about a year. I got smaller, but I think I just lost muscle mass. I used to play indoor soccer but I doubt that did anything much since there was no practise and just once a week games. Now I'm trying to tone myself and lose weight at the same time. I've got the regimen down, but I don't know about the fitness. I eat about 1200 calories a day. I'm 5'6'' and 164.4 lbs. 2 weeks ago I was 167.2 lbs. I go to the gym AT LEAST 3 times a week, if not more. I can pull down 90 lb.I got from 70 lb doing about 25 reps. And add on up to 90 lb, which at that point I can do about 7-8 reps. I can do the pectoral fly up to 55 lb. But I can't do more than 8 reps of that so far. I also work my way up from that. I start out at about 40 lb and do about 25 of those. As for my biceps... those are truly pathetic. I can do about 35 at the most. As for my legs, I can leg press up to 150. But I usually stop because I hurt my knees during soccer and that usually just really pains me. So I usually end up not going past 130. I also use the thigh adductor and can do about 6-8lb. I try to do 50 of those until I can't anymore. But before I do any weights, I do some cardio. I either bicycle for about 15-20 minutes. Or do elliptical for about 30 minutes. I could do that for hours if it weren't for the 30-min limit at the gym. As for running, I can't run worth crap. I'm absolutely worthless at running. Always have been. It hurts my knees like no other. I know that's better for weight loss and it's just better than the elliptical, but I don't know. I can't bring myself to do it. I'm not planning on running any marathons or anything. I can do soccer running quite fine, but straight out running for 30 minutes is too ridiculous for me. I usually do the elliptical for 30 minutes. Do the weight lifting I described above. Then bicycle for 15 minutes. I heard I might be doing too much cardio which is much too worthless. I want strength AND endurance AND weight loss. Anyone have any regimens that worked out for them? more

Resolved Question: how much could I benefit from 2 days a week weight training?

I am 17 years old, female, and into a lot of sports. I am in good shape running the mile in just barely over 7 minutes, and I have plyometrics for half an hour twice a week, and cardio and skills work for about 6 or so hours each week in addition to whatever games there are. I play soccer as my main sport and I was wondering how much I would benefit from 2 one hour classes each week in weight training. I'm asking because that there is a program starting at my school that offers that. I would be in an all guys class so it should be a pretty good workout. I am wondering if this was carried out for another 5 monthes, what kinds of results I would see? Would I notice a gain in mass? would I notice a decrease in fat because the muscle is consuming more calories? would i notice an increase in my endurance? how about any of the other skills? any info would be great or links to places I could find reliable info or personal stories thanks more

Resolved Question: I want to know the difference between lifting for strength and lifting for endurance?

The questions states it all. My program I go about 5 days a week. Mondays and Thursdays are chest and tris. Wednesday is back. While Tuesday and Friday is shoulders and biceps. Now I do 3 sets, first set would be 10 reps, second would be 8, and thrid would be 6. Of course I increase the weight about 5-10 pounds as I go down in reps. Now my friend wants to tone more then just build strength. I have him doing the same routine but lower weight and more reps. He does three sets but with a lower weight and starts at 16 then 14 then 13 reps. Is this good. I know my program for strength works but not so sure about this training. Oh yea and we also run about 2.5 miles before we lift. Thanks more
