The topless construction worker thing sounds great except for the whole winter and canada thing. I can feel my nipples getting hard already

Well you could do 50 press ups 50 sit ups

 

50 squates and 50 leg raises

 

That'll keep you fit.

 

C YA!

Or if you feel this isn't enough just go jogging a lot also.Start off with a fairly moderate distance and as you get further on in jogging increase the distance.

BlueDragon...ok, so you don't like to run (i guess jogging is then out of question also Moobrack).

 

Running/jogging/power walking is actually a great idea in the winter months. I have a treadmill I use almost every morning (in winter) Just 2 miles every morning jump starts my metabolism and keeps me toned up.(You can feel the jiggles on the areas you need to tone up!).

 

Otherwise, at your school - is there any intramural sports? ... Volleyball, indoor swimming, basketball?? Exercise classes?? Aerobics, cardio kickboxing, step classes...a gym you can join?? Your school must have a weight room to work out in.

 

I know how cold it can get in the winter months...(I'm from Northeast )

You seem to be missing the point.

 

First off endurance is what I'm concerned about not strength.

 

Secondly I have no problem running or jogging the problem is from november through march the temperature stays below freezing and stays -20C for weeks at a time. At those temperatures strenous exersize is dangerous since muscles and ligaments are easily tourn.

 

I don't have the money to buy a treadmill and my school doesn't offer any sports except basketball and gymnastics. I need some thing I can do indoors to raise my heart rate to a high level.

 

P.S. Jumping are not an option. I hate them.

[KickChick]

OK...Well, obviously I assumed when you posted that you wanted to stay in shape it was to basically exercise...for endurance/cardio you'll have to invest in a treadmill...(running outside in those cold conditions is of course detrimental to muscles, ligaments and you could even slip and fall). You could also invest in a heavy bag...do power kicking/punching to get the heart rate up. I know someone else posted in another thread... - but it was...dancingThere are other other ways to get the heart rate up while indoors you just have to improvise. I know you hate jumping but jump rope and jumping on small trampoline is also an option.

Dance...stick on your fave music (well, unless you like classical or something) and jig about for half an hour while getting ready for school. Not only will it keep you fit but you'll be in a good mood all day too...so your friends also benefit.

 

Alternatively, just walk up and down the stairs 20 times every morning...up for one shoe, back down, up for the other shoe, back down, up again for one book, back down, then another...and so on.

 

But...my skipping rope is my bestest friend..

[BlueDragon]
