BKJ1216 Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 Well yesterday I started doing a workout plan. The first thing I did was jumping jacks. Some crucnches, sit ups. I did some pushups. Then I jogged in place for about 10 minutes. The thing is I'm really not feeling any effect from it. Should I try and increase the reps or stuff I do and the running time? Or should I just do it everyday instead of every other day? White Belt- Shudokan Karate
PhilM1 Posted March 18, 2003 Posted March 18, 2003 just keep doing it, only increase some work outs. i weight train so thats a little different. make that a 12 min run and see how that feels. from there just add little by little only and when your work out gets way too easy. try not to over work out. there is a difference from getting a good work out and over working out. plus if you over work out you will strain some muscle and that will put you back. fight til you die

jmy77 Posted March 18, 2003 Posted March 18, 2003 You may not feel it for a day or two. Do the same work out again. If you still feel nothing up you reps. Try supersetting - push ups/chair dips (unless you have access to a dip stand then do real dips), crunches with leg raises or flutter kicks, pull ups and chin ups.... or do you exercises in succession I do, push-ups/crunches/pull-ups/chair dips in one set then rest and do a few sets. Works very well for me. You can also do this with lower body: squats/lunges or squat thrusts/mountain climbers. My lower work out is Squats/Flutter Kicks/Squat Thrusts as one set.

jmy77 Posted March 18, 2003 Posted March 18, 2003 LOL!!! Yeah, Tylenol has that effect... Leg Raise: lay on the ground (on your back), hands at your sides, lift your feet (keeping your legs straight) and head (just your head, shoulders stay down) off the ground (so that you are looking at our toes), you are now in the leg raise position, keep your head of the ground for the duration of any leg raise exercise... For the Flutter kick: lift your feet about 5-6 inches off the ground, lower one foot almost to the floor while simultaneously raising the opposite foot the same distance, then lower the up foot and raise the low foot (now opposite foot up) and repeat - that's one flutter kick. **It is the same kicking motion that is used in swimming.** "Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft." - Pres.
