Quick Question/Poll: Which fat level is most applicable to you?

[fishonjazz]

I feel you, homie. I have to wear these gay-*** wrist braces for another month before I can have both of my arms surgically repaired. When I hunker, the noise my knees make sounds like when you get sand in your reel -- you know that sound... Thank the Gods for cortisone injections, and that's all I have to say about that.

<~~~~ Also, 10,000. Fear my loserness.

You sound a little bit worse than me.

I get those cortisone injections in my shoulder about every 9 months. They do help alot.

Yes i know the sound you speak of.

Earlier this year i used my wifes pole and it was so quiet and smooth cause it rarely gets used.... pretty nice change.

Mine is dirty and noisy and rough when you cast lol

Try dealing with these aches and pains doing my job. I wear a tool belt that weighs about 20 pounds around my hips. All day, every day. I probably walk a couple miles every day and climb the ladder probably 50 times every day. And to top it off, I'm constantly lifting things over my head or pulling wires through conduit. Those are the days when I'm not on my knees all day or digging trenches. My joints are seriously dicked. To top it off, I've had a permanently broken bone in my back since high school.

Frank, look into kettlebells. You can get a killer cardio/strength workout in less than 20 minutes at home. Doesn't take up any space and you can do it in almost any room. It's what I do now on days I don't have time to go to the gym.

I'll have to give this a try.

I try alternating pushups, situps, and pullups in the morning since it only takes a few minutes, and walk 60-70 flights of stairs per day. This doesn't seem like enough though since I've hit that magic age where I have to start watching my diet. What b.s. that is.

Yoga/stretching is great both for your muscles/bones and your psychology. I never did proper yoga within it's original system but I have been imitating it for years by improvising to my preference and I can definitely say that it helps me greatly in many different ways.

Go for the pushups three-four days a week, or even everyday with smaller volumes. It's the most natural and beneficial exercise you can do without sweating much. You can do it in many different variations and I'd strongly suggest that way instead of a standard pushups routine all the time. Pullups are good too, but don't give them much time if you don't need to particularly strengthen your arms, chest and back. Pushups and some complimentary pullups will be more than enough for a time saving smart exercise. Just don't forget to do a small warm up routine(even 2 min is enough) before doing any pushups or alike though. You can easily injure your wrists, neck or back otherwise.

The best simple exercise to add to pushups is squats. It's probably the most underrated exercise. Plus it will add some variety to your workouts as a lower body exercise.

However, use situps very very wisely, don't do full situps at all unless if you really want to do. Full situps are probably the most injury causing exercises amongst the basic ones. However there are many safer and easier variations of it that are also more enjoying to do and actually more effective than full situps. Even leg pull ups(while you lay on your back) are more effective than regular full situps and they are far more safer.

Btw, if you have very limited time or are tired throughout most of the day, you can do some of your stretching exercises while reading a book, watching tv or at least browsing JazzFanz.

And after you get a clear habit of an exercise routine, you can increase the variety, intensity and the duration in accordance with your free time.

I'd love to take some of those to work with me, but it'd look pretty silly slinging them around my cubicle and I'd turn the place into a pond of sweat.

Solid advice all around. I'm not looking for a trainer just some ideas on how to burn an extra 75, 100 calories per day without consuming a whole lot of time or sweating.

Stairs are bad *** because I burn about 150 calories/day in only 3-4 minutes per hour. I'm not missed, hit the water fountain, & can get some good leg lifts and abs in to switch it up (skipping 2 steps, doing calf raises the whole way, and flexing my stomach actually adds quite a bit to it). But even that makes my *** foam when it gets this hot.

*** foam

Awesome lol
Great description. My *** be foamy as a mutha ****a at work too

I see. Then I could suggest you to do all of your reading(assuming your job requires reading) while standing or wandering around in your cubicle. Not only when reading though, you can stand whenever you can. For a 175 lbs adult, it can make a difference up to 50-60 calories per hour. That means, you can spend extra 75+ calories only by standing 10 mins per hour during a typical 8 hours of office work. Pacing up and down adds to it considerably.

Another thing I'd suggest, something I've done a lot in my library and at my desk at home, using a cute, small dumbbell. Only a one not a pair. A water bottle could also work but they are just too light for their sizes. You can stash it under your desk or in your closet etc and every now and then workout little routines with your non-busy hand and alternate. At first it may be distracting you from your focus but it quickly becomes autonomic and you don't even realize that you are working out. Plus it gives a pretty sweet toning to your arms before you know and you don't sweat at all while doing it.

Another thing is fidgeting. I remember reading that fidgeting your feet or hands can burn extra 250+ calories throughout a day. Pretty worthwhile to me, though I don't know how one can make it as a habit, if they don't have it.

Anyway, I know you're an avid googler but, I found this kinda funny link that has some office exercises. Some are silly, some sweaty but the graphics rate them on three levels about it. It's basic movements but might be worth to check out.

Edit: Another idea might be adding to your body weight by using ankle weights. Though they are not recommended much by the physiotherapists and might not be convenient or easy to get used to.

Then what the **** are you doing wrestling? You might want to try something lower impact. Playing basketball kicks my *** these days. At least my body is finally figuring out how to carry the extra weight more gracefully.

Great advice as usual and I owe you rep after the cool down.

I'm a natural fidgeter and drive my co-workers nuts tapping feet and spinning pens (where's the I?). I'm going to try reading while walking around and might have to take a mini-Gott Jug to lift for drinks. That's actually a pretty damn good recommendation for an extra ten calories per day.

Just don't say it three times.

I've met the majority of the posters on this board at one time or another and I can promise you, you're all full of ****.

hahahahahaha.

T25 and 3 days a week krav is remaking my body. I got a long way to go, but I am determined. Maybe later I will post some before and after pics.
