I cant comment on those things coz Ive never used them one.....and never will. Those machines make me cringe

Just do own body weight stuff mate.

There is no way your can just rely on lunges. Walk FAST for say 500m then do 5 lunges eac leg. Walk another 500 then do say 10 body squats etc etc. Try to go for about 15-20 mins to start you off. You wont like it but thats all part of it. It took me 3-4 days a week for 3-4 months before I got the bug....so dont give up.

After you have done the first week try to incorporate a slow jog (coz walking aint exercise ) instead of the run...or alternate...walk one then run one.

Set your self some form of goal each workout but try to do the same 'sort' of workout each time so you can monitor your improvement.

Do I have to do the lunges and squats in public while walking/jogging? Can't I just leave that shit for home? Because I'm walking the streets near houses etc and I feel like a dick doing it.

This is a BIG call mate. Its a discipline that sucks when you first start but the rewards are incredible. On an equal par to giving up smoking....there is no short term result...it takes a while

I'm deadly serious. Two and a half years ago I gave up a 10+ year 20-30 cigarettes a day addiction the first time I tried. If I can do that, I can do anything. I have a lot of will power...and hate failing. Which is why I broadcasted it to all you guys that I want to tone up etc....so then I'll feel guilty if I stop and you'll all know I'm a failure.

Good on you Zig. I knew if anyone was going to commit it was you. Ive just seen so many people 'say' they are gonna do it and then go once or twice. It SUCKS for the first couple of months (myabe less) but that all changes. It will be no harder than giving up ciggies

Plenty of stuff around on the net to help you out (especially in relation to form/how to do properly).

Gotta laugh re the lunges in public

. Dont you have a park around? You wont look like an idea there PLUS its not as if you are running down the street naked...its the same as running in public.

Ill give you some other ideas this arvo

i know this is post your dail workout, but should I train tomorrow? as i strained my back yesterday! gotta love da pain!

ZiggyStar · August 2009

I just struggled to bend down and pick up a pen I'd dropped --- THAT'S how sore my thighs are! :? My bf said to me a few minutes "that's you're problem -- you always overdo it the first time".....I only did TEN lunges and squats! Even two would probably be overdoing it judging on this!

at the moment every wednesday I have trouble walking as I smash my legs with my PT, but yesterday we slight changed the deadlifts which agrovated my back and now i have trouble moving,sitting down and get up. but its worth it. just remember no pain no gain!

The usual every other weekday basic routine:

100 pull-ups (10 sets of 10 worked in between below)
400 push-ups (4 sets of 100 reps)
30 bicep pull-ups (2 sets of 15)
3 sets of side raises/rows
3 sets of shoulder presses

good to go..

It's not worth it if you seriously injure yourself. Perhaps, for a while, consider staying away from back exercises, especially to failure, and concentrate more on cardio..

You should start with a short jog, jump rope, or bike warm-up..

Yes, until you get back into rhythm..then, it's wise to do weight training, squats, lunges prior to finishing up with cardio..you need to stretch and build stamina at this point if ten lunges and squats give you trouble...

Yes, I agree...though lunges and squats are great exercises, but they make you sore immediately if not accustomed..thus it's a good excuse and a legitimate way of getting out of working out

..you have to pace yourself at first...then, they are money

..nothing stupid about it..

best way to get ready is a nice light jog or a few minutes on the bike!

i still find my squats and lunges hurt, but i do supose I had take steps to make them so. but i do love them and hate them at the same time!
