Fitness

I have had a fixed working out schedule for a few weeks now - 3 times a week, with different muscle parts being trained each training session (which lasts for about an hour).
I also do some other kinds of working out at times, like training springiness, swimming, biking or running.

I´m usually very active during spring breaks (like now), but this time I´ll try my best to maintain this behaviour even when school starts.. I feel and see the effect already.

As for the food, I try to avoid food which contains bad fat and fast food generally. I only eat candy on very rare occasions, but if I do it sometimes gets out of control :/
So I´ll try to cut that out of my diet completely.. Currently I´m trying to find a way to reduce my bodyfat amount effectively. As for drinking - I only drink water and sometimes tea. I have done this for ages now and it feels just so much better.

Oh and I am of same size and weight like the guy above me. 5'6" and around 130 pounds (sometimes more).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sit ups, if performed correctly are great exercises for the abs; I think even bodybuilders and huge monsters still have them in their training schedule as there are very few other methods to train the abs (usually just variations of sit ups or crunches done on machines and benches.)

As for push ups, I can recommend them for training the chest and trizeps. I heard they are very effective if you still can´t do 20 real push ups at once.

Uh, I usually associate this with "disco pumpers", ie guys that almost only do bench presses and bizeps training and end up having considerably big arms - to impress chicks in night clubs, of course

As for me, I have a whole day just for leg and abdomen training.

Most amazing jew boots

I hear you man. My calves always hurt for a few days when my leg-workout day has come (today ).. but I think it´s very effective and important to train the legs, as they are needed pretty often

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
