Hey, only too happy to help.
People ask me how I keep so trim.
Well I was in amazing shape when I was vigorous and active and now I'm just coasting through life having never developed any of those fats cells that so many people developed when they were young.
THAT and I don't think that I have to eat three squares a day.
Mankind did not develop as a species where eating three meals a day was common.
Eating like the government and nutritionists keep telling people to eat is guaranteed to make most people fat.
I used to be like that. now I eat more often...and smaller meals each day.
I am looking to change how I eat if that will help get me off the road to existing in a state of being permanently out of shape.
My sympthy to people who are constantly fighting their weight is very sincere.
I have never been fat, but I have seen plenty of people who eat very sensibly, and not in excess who constantly are fighting off pounds, and I KNOW they are not gluttons.
I am so devoid of fat cells that can't do a dead man's float with lungs full of air.
Basically that means that I have like zero fat cells.
Some of this is no doubt genetic and some of it is simply a lifestyle which started out with me never having access to food except at regular meals.
But, I am told, that once your body develops those fats cells, (and that often happens in your youth) your body will take every bit of extra food that is in excess to fill them, and I am also informed that the body would rather burn muscle than fat it has stored, too, so some of this is truly just an examle of bad engineering on the part of mother nature, I think.
I am blessed with a some happy physical things and this metabolism of mine (that and my wash and wear hair) are two of them for which I take absolutely no credit.
I have way too much hair, too thick, too wavy/curly. Many hours wasted straitening, blow drying, or scrunching. Went out this morning and had most of it cut off!
I can float like a baby whale but I too have wash and go hair.

If you can survive the first two weeks, you'll be set. It's one of the most intense exercise programs I've ever attempted, and the diet plan that goes with it is easy to follow.

really? how odd..this is what I looked into before I moved out here. It looks like no scam.
what was the total cost in dollars?

Nada. I got it from a friend. I think it usually runs around $120 for the discs and nutrition guide, but you also get access to the Beach Body Experts and can ask them questions during the process.
It's not a scam. I have a few friends who have used it and they saw pretty drastic results in the 90 days. They still use it and are still toning their bodies. I've been doing it for about a month, and I can already tell the difference.
Okay, there are a few people here who appear to be in shape and who seem like they may know a thing or two about exercise regimens and diet.
I am starting out all over again in more ways than one. I am looking at a few things and it looks like one could get overwhelmed with the amount of info out there. I've perused a few forums/message boards out there and videos and more. Like with everything else I am sure that most of the info on what I am interested in is outdated, flawed or just plain useless. It's like I don't want to be buying a book on parenting written by by childless nitwits working in the structured environment of lab experiments. So, what do others here do to not only keep in shape but to build strength, agility and reflexes?
I am looking down the road at a mixed martial arts program, but first need to build some stamina and buy or get fitted for a wrist brace. I am putting off any surgery because of the potential nerve damage that would involve.
I never really had to work hard at being in shape before, until my metabolism slowed down what with getting older, quitting smoking and sitting at a fukin' computer console, so some constructive advice mixed with witty insults and poignancy would be greatly appreciated.
It's limp.I can't really comment on upper body work until I know what's wrong with your wrist.
does the treadmill stare back at you?
Forlornly or maybe relief, I can't tell.
have you seen anyone training with a brace that immobilizes the wrist and hand so that the hand and wrist do not turn separately? making them act like one to protect the wrist?
Stop using the car and eat every meal with a side of boiled broccoli.

BOILED BROCCOLI?
Way to beat the shit out of a perfectly innocent (and otherwise quite tasty) veggie.
WTF's wrong with you?

I boil pieces of broccoli with salt and olive oil and it comes out very tasty.
... Sorry. = (
spices like paprika, cajun seasonings Italian seasonings, spices....
good or bad or, in moderation good? do they affect muscle and fat?
I'm in awe, Gunny backs me. Sigh. (Hey Gunny, ain't that worth rep?) LOL!Okay, there are a few people here who appear to be in shape and who seem like they may know a thing or two about exercise regimens and diet.

First Question: What EXACTLY is wrong with your wrist?
Diet is easy. Don't eat junk, or seriously curtail what and the amount you eat. For meals, eat basic staples -- meat, veggies, fruits.
For some, it's as simple as not drinking soda. That diet or regular. Diet IS less calories, but STILL bloats you.
I don't know what condition you are in now, so it's hard to say anything. If you can run, I'd start with a half mile, 3 times a week. After 2 weeks, push it to 1 mile. Add a half mile every two weeks until you reach the max distance you want to run.
3-5 sets of 10-12 situps/crunches/whatever your favorite ab exercise is.

I have started push ups on the floor where I hold my wrist at an awkward angle, but I need to build up some more strength in and around the wrist. I started using a door frame to push away from and it seems to be working. I set my body away from the frame and lean forward into the frame. I'm wide enough in the shoulder area that I get a good stance and form. I am looking to put a bar across the frame so that I cam keep my arms tighter to the shoulders. I'll start on the floor again after I build up more support along the forearm and hand to protect the wrist.I can't really comment on upper body work until I know what's wrong with your wrist.
