i agree with this. i'm not a hard-core no-carb person either. i'll eat the occasional bread, pizza, or pasta. plus, there's no way i can cut out fruit, it just makes me feel good. but i think really limiting processed foods (flour, polenta, etc.) and dairy is a very good way to go for my body. protein and fat: those aren't bad things in the right amount.
I started doing 50 squats each day. I'll start with that for now. My daily exercises at the moment are 10 minutes of skipping, stretches, 5 minutes shadowboxing, 15 minutes on the bag, 15 pushups, 50 situps and 50 squats, in that order. Sometimes I throw in some other exercises. I find the pushups the hardest, I need to stop being such a wimp and do more pushups each session, I'm gonna ramp it up to 3 sets of 15 pushups, 1 set of wide armed ones, 1 set of normal ones and a set of the ones where your hands are really close to each other (they're real hard though, I'll start with 10 of those). Its cold and windy here in Ireland so its perfect weather for exercising because it keeps you cool. Slippy as hell though, I fell a couple of times doing side kicks.
So, seeing as I'm not to be trusted around here this is one of the few things I do have some documentary evidence for. A shame I wasn't given the bumcam footage I asked for, but hopefully the photo below shows that I was not getting many calories. Photo taken in 2008, I've put on about 2 stone since, my hairline stopped receding so much (though I cut my hair in fear of looking like Bill Bailey), and I feel much better
Yeah, if you're doing all that pivoting without keeping your weight exactly over your supporting foot, you're going to slip. Sounds like you've found an "improper" way of doing them that is safer?
Yeah if I don't go up on my toes (i.e. if I leave my foot flat on the ground) then I don't slip but I can't put any turning force into the kick like that. I suppose falling on my ass is a good way to learn to keep my balance in difficult situations. However, in really difficult situations (like ice lol) I think its best to do without the turning force.
Here's a question for you all. 3500 calories equals 1 pound of fat, but how many regular pounds of weight would that 1 pound of fat equal? Or, would it still be just 1 pound?
I thought it might throw you guys off lol. I think I read somewhere once online that 1 pound of fat equals almost 2 regular pounds. Not sure if there's anything to that though
1lb equals 1lb. I don't think there is some specialized unit call "fat pounds" or something. Just pounds.
I Agree with most off the people ,the best way is to look at your day to day eating pattern,(cut down the fast food - the sweets - and un natural foods) eat lot of green veg (or veg with lot off fibre )You stay fuller if you eat lot off meals that contains fibre I tip before enny meal drink 2 glasses of water , The reason for that is ,think about it ,if your stomach is a balloon and you fill it with water the balloon will expand the same happens with your stomach Your stomach will sent a signal to your brain that I'm getting full and you will eat much less
