What do you think is the best exercise?

[Anonymous]

I've been worried about my body and i don't know what exercise should I take to make it effective and see some results. So by the way, what? What can you suggest? Please help. Thanks.

The absolute best exercise in the world: The deadlift. It engages about 3/4 of the muscles in the body and is a functional lift that better prepares you for day to day life. But I'm guessing that's not what you meant to ask...

Regardless of your goal, you should be incorporating both strength training and cardio into your exercise regimen. For safety's sake (as it's unsafe to attempt to strength train when muscles are already fatigued) you should prioritize your strength training first and plan your cardio around it. For strength training, you should be focusing on compound movements that incorporate many muscle groups. Examples that include weights are the deadlift, barbell squat, bench press, and overhead press. Examples that are bodyweight-only are the jump-squat, the pushup, the chinup, the pullup, and the burpee. Be sure to employ some form of progression so that you are gradually increasing the load/difficulty as you grow stronger, otherwise you won't see much results.

Swimming won't broaden your shoulders. I used to swim in High School and was skinny as hell so don't worry about that. You have to figure out what your fitness goals are. Are you looking to lose weight, tone up or get ripped? I'll safely assume you are looking to lose weight and look decent which I recommend just eating healthy or staying in a caloric deficit. I say eat healthy because those foods will naturally have less calories than other foods thus making you lose weight. Now, if you want to tone up do cardio and moderate weight lifting. As long as it's some sort of cardio that will do and don't worry about getting ripped with weight lifting. I've been weight lifting intensely for 16 months now and I wouldn't consider myself shredded, but moderate weight lifting will keep you toned. Message me anytime for more details.

Are you an exercise enthusiast?

[Asker]

I want to loose weight and loose these fatty areas. To be honest, whenever I gain weight, the parts that will contain fatty stuffs are my abdomen, arms and lats and I hate it because I am a girl and i want to tone up my body too.

[Joshua2332]

I started weight lifting (cardio here and there) the beginning of March 2013 and go to the gym religiously ever since. Let's just say I get very pissed off if I can't go to the gym any day during the week except weekends.

[Asker]

I easily get tired whenever I do exercise. What do you think is the reason for that?

[Joshua2332]

You tell me. What is your life like? Do you get enough sleep? Are you stressed out? Are you motivated to be to the gym? This doesn't happen overnight. It took me a good 8 months until I started to notice real results. That is only because I started to take it seriously then.

[Asker]

1. I get enough sleep. I do have completely 8 hour sleep rest.
2. I have a completely boring life and I have to change it.
3. I am sometimes stressed-out when I overthink and thinking something.
4. I don't go to gyms. I prefer to have a homebased workouts. What can you suggest? I don't have weights.
5. Does exercise really take that much time? 8 months? Seriously?

[Joshua2332]

I'm trying to get ripped. I was already toned according to most people. Getting ripped takes forever, but like I said to look decent and to lose weight, I'd say around 3-5 months if you're serious about it. Working out really has nothing to do with it. If your diet isn't right, then working out won't do a thing I guarantee that. Just PM me what you really want to do and I'll try and figure something out that will work for you.

[Asker]

I will. Looking forward to chat you mister. Thank you.

Honestly... I think CrossFit is the best... sorry. I do. I'm not even THAT in shape. I am trying to lose weight like you. It's really intense and it takes a lot mentally... it teaches you confidence and skill while it also lets you actually get exercise. I'm a big fan, but it's tough and it's a big commitment. The coaches are amazing though and they will cheer you on every day as will your other crossfitters... yes some will be better, but one day you'll be one of them and you'll be cheering for whoever that new person is. I'm still the new person and it has been almost a year now. Still going strong though.

[Asker]

Wow I bet you're having those abs developing. Joining CrossFit is not that easy. But I rather prefer home based workouts. Any suggestions?

[roxygirlskier]

hahaha I'm sure they're hidden somewhere below the fat I still have on my abdomen... but it's all a work in progress, yanno? Takes A LOT of time and patience. Hm... home based workouts. A lot of people like insanity? It's a home workout video? Don't be afraid to work out in front of others... okay, I am every day, but I still go! Shocking, but I do.

[swiftsaver602]

Cardio…whether running or walking. It's the quickest/surest way to lose weight without putting on major muscle.

[Asker]

It will loosen your bellies too?

[swiftsaver602]

I'm assuming you mean get rid of extra belly fat? Yes. Cardio is the only surefire way to do that. A full-body workout twice or three times a week is also a good thing to do in addition to your cardio routine.

[Asker]

Thanks! Will take note. :D

[swiftsaver602]

you're welcome :)

[Zephyrinthesky]

Swimming IMO, an all over good exercise and keeps you toned. I guess it depends on what look you're going for.

[Asker]

I am striking for my abdominal part so that it will trimmed down. I am afraid abdominal exercise is the hardest.

[Zephyrinthesky]

Search YouTube for ab workouts ;) you can tone your abs, but any excess fat means less calories...

[Asker]

I will. Thank you. :D

Stair Master mixed with high incline on the Treadmill and free weights.

[Asker]

I don't go to gym. I only workout at home so definitely I don't have weights.

[Cleveland]

That's okay, body weight exercises. Planks, lunges, squats etc.!

[Asker]

Thank you :)

[Asker]

What do you think is the best abdominal exercise?

[Cleveland]

Also, try getting a resistance band, you can do a ton with them:)

[Cleveland]

Planks regular and side mixed with traditional crunches should start you off!

[Asker]

There are many crunches and I don;t know which of those is effective.

HIIT- High Intensity Interval Training

[Asker]

HIIT can't be done at home, I guess

[PhiOmega]

HIIT can be done at home, and it's great for shredding fat and toning lean muscle mass

[PleaselllBeNiceNat]

Swimming, squats, planks.

[Ricosuavemente]

Squats hands down!
