Getting fit
'SUP.
So I've been at university almost 3 years now. And for most people, university makes them fat(ter). Cheap food, cheap alcohol, spending most of your time sleeping.
So I have a little tummy now. I'm not fat or anything. I just have a slight tummy, and I'd prefer it if I was more toned.
Thing is, I've never really been one for exercise. I never bothered joining in with all the sports at school - I was the kid who got chosen last. And I have one of those physiques that doesn't put on weight easily (like I said, it's taken 3 years now to give me a bit of a tummy). So I never bothered thinking about going to the gym.
I just was wondering if any of you knew any worthwhile ways of losing the tummy, arse, general all-round fitness? I don't want to go to the gym - it costs money, and I don't like exercising with loads of other people around me. And I don't want to take up any new sports. I was thinking more along the lines of exercises I could do.
Cheers ;D

Re: Getting fit
Swimming. You can do it on your own, it isn't new (I presume) and it doesn't cost money (bar buying some swimming trunks). Plus during the summer the beaches are full of hot chicks

Re: Getting fit
A combination of running, swimming and weights should do it.

Re: Getting fit
Yes. It's also what I'm attempting to do. Although I haven't started swimming yet. Last time I went swimming I presumed I could swim for several hours (you know, like as a kid) but almost had a heart attack about three minutes in.

Re: Getting fit
I vowed to go swimming every morning before uni. Actually went on the first morning, by the time I got back to the flat I was too tired to actually get myself up to walk to uni.
Plus I keep twisting my damned knee every time, most annoying.

Re: Getting fit
People who do swimming are really fit, the ones that go at speed anyways. Bes tto do is swim slow like a big fat girl. You look like but a big fat girl but they go longer than if you don't

Re: Getting fit
Do a few pushups/situps every day, take a jog sometimes, and go swimming when you can be bothered.
Or, become a vegetarian. Almost all the vegetarians I know (Including myself), lost a great deal of weight when they start their more healthy and humane diet!

Why?
Your options are pretty obvious really. Eat better, lead a more active lifestyle (walk instead of taking the bus, blah, blah, etcetera, *snore*), play football now and then, and so on.
Though going down the gym and lifting some weights is the most effective.

Re: Getting fit
At some point i was really bored and started wondering about the extent of my willpower, and to measure it nothing better than stopping eating.
If you are bulimic or anorexic, its no big deal, but if you are a regular bloke, like me, you are going to find that 3 days with absolutely no food is really excrutiatingly painfull. The 3rd day i felt like i was being stabbed in the tummy =(
Anyways, it didnt to it once, i went about a month without eating, due to several reasons
- the willpower thingie
- its REALLY ****ing cheap
- i was a little bit fattie on the tummy (79 kg in a 1,85m body)
the result was a loss of 8kg in the course of that month, and a total saving of many moneys.
so, quit eatin´, if you are man enough to accept the challange.
the downside of it is that i had loss of muscle, and i i staterd losing arm wrestlings with dudes i used to win. I had to exercise quite a bit to get me muscles back

If I'm not mistaken, putting on muscles will actually make you gain weight.

Re: Getting fit
It does, but when people say 'lose weight' they normally mean 'lose fat'.

The fat gets burned off first though at a higher rate than the comparatively heavier muscle is put on. Just later once your body-fat content is low exercise will cause you to put on weight.

Re: Getting fit
Join the army and take a combat survival course.
Alternatively get someone to drive you up in the mountains/wilderness or whatever. Use a week on walking home eating what you find/nothing

yep, im serious
i did not went 30 days consecutively without eating, i just ate the minimum ammount possible. but 3 days, yes, i spent that without eating.
As for health reasons go, except the muscle thing and the concentration loss factor (you constantly think about food) there is no big deal.

Re: Getting fit
Doesn't that lower your metabolism so that when you start eating again you're more likely to put on weight?

I'm glad you obviously consulted such a knowledgeable source of medical knowledge before embarking on your adventure.

Yep. I used my gigantic knowledge base of one person (me) to construct my weight loss therapy. How efficient is that?
I tricked a girl in doing the same thing I did and she had abdominal pains, faints and generall illness in the body (like aching body, i dont know the expression in english) but i linked that to the fact that she is a weak minded coward.
I must be the greatest "Theorician" ever!
