Workout question

[sambo73]

Im starting back roping calves. I need to shed some pounds, and not bulk up. What would be some good exercises to do on the days i dont rope, and even on days i do get to practice. Also what are some good stretching exercises i can do? And i want to improve my agility too.

Thx

If you want to shed some pounds try insanity. My fiance and I and her friend did it for about a month and we all lost inches within a week and a half. Still eating badly thought, but it does kick your butt so much where you hate doing it. If you cant do insanity basically do HIT High Interval Training. Get your hear rate up for about 1 min or 2 and then rest for 30 sec then get back at it. Youtube videos on High Intesnsity Training there might be some workouts on there. Best part most of the time you use your own body weight for many of these exercies.

You can look up crossfit workouts, I joined a gym month ago and haven't lost any weight, but have shed some inches.. It gets you in shape in a hurry.

You need to comcentrate more on diet and water intake rather than exercise alone. At the end of the day, it will boio down to calorie intake vs calorie burn.
Unlimited fresh greens, egg whites, grilled chicken, brown rice, tuna, plain oatmeal would be a good base to start with. Try to drink as much water as you can.

If you want something cheap make your suspension training system. Go to you tube and watch them. Looks easy....it will kick your back side...and you can stretch with it also. The first week I did it I hurt bad but the second week felt better and now I'm adding more time and reps to it.

Nothing has worked better for me than good ol' fashioned jogging and hitting the weight room. If you're doing quite a few runs every other night, both you and your stick will start to get in better shape. I would suggest extended walks with a weight pack to start. It is not as high-impact as jogging, and you are working more muscles than you think just carrying a heavy pack

Thx. Me n the better half are gonna start walking in the evenings. I dont make but 2-3 runs but tie a butt ton

Lol don't worry weights wont "bulk" you up.

I remember you posting threads months back about starting. If I had to guess diet is your #1 reason your not seeing results. That is 80% of the battle.

Eat right, stair stepper and elliptical. Just got to keep your heart rate up. I lost a bunch when I started back after not going to the gym for about 7 years by just doing this.

You sir are correct about the diet. I love food!!

Ive thought about stretching out one of my ropes and running wind sprints the length of the rope.

That would be an anaerobic workout that would be good for adding muscles. You would be better served jogging around the arena 4 or 5 times than sprinting. You want lower steady heart rate to maintain aerobic activity to lose weight.

Crossfit will get you in the best shape of your life without bulking up too much and you will see gains very fast

There it is. Get on a diet and stick to it.

Do some type of full body workout. If you don't hit it crazy hard your body can handle every other day. Start out with light weights and work on getting your form down. As your body gets used to it and it doesn't hurt so bad, you can add some weight. You can throw in some rowing on the off days. Between that and diet you will shed weight like crazy. Once you get used to it and you are really lean and have gained some muscle then you can plot your next move.

The biggest thing is diet and just do some type of excercise plan and stay commited. It takes time to see results, so just be disciplined and stick with it. But once you start seeing big changes and results you like, it's easy to stay the course.

Here is a simple full body workout to do every other day or so. At first maybe do it, then take two days off, do that a few times and ease your way into it. Get to where you are doing it every other day and adding weights. When you feel comfortable with it start hitting the rowing machine on the off days. Do it for two months on a good lean protein rich diet and then get back to us. I bet you will be really pleased with the results.
