I have a timed physical agility test in 5 days & need cardio tips?
Question by Jeremiah S: I have a timed physical agility test in 5 days & need cardio tips?
I just found out that I have a timed physical agility test in 5 days. I was notified today. I haven’t ran for fitness in a couple months and need tips on some hardcore cardio routine to boost my system so I’m not huffing and puffing the entire time. It is a 4 minute obstacle course. Lots of stairs, cones, and fence climbing.

Answer by Victor J
Five days doesn’t give you much time to make adaptations to your body to have a noticable effect. But, there may be some hope:
Find a relatively steep, short hill (approx 100yds) and do repeat run-ups with a slow walk down. Try not to allow much recovery time at the bottom, 30 seconds at the most. Your body will tell you when it’s time to take a break (and you better listen to it, too!).
Find some stairs (the more stories, the better) or do some lunges. Basically, with stairs, cones, and fences, we’re looking at strengthening the quads and hamstrings.
Two days before the testing, take it easy. Don’t go “all out” on these days. The day before, you could even skip any workout altogether to recover from the previous four days’ work.
Listen to you body!!! It will tell you if you’re doing too much or if you can go further. Of course, if you don’t have an athletic background, proceed with caution. Five days is not enough time to go from couch-potato to weekend warrior.

Q&A: I need some good fitness/exercises tips?
Question by xFrozen: I need some good fitness/exercises tips?
OK, I’m 13 years old, kinda skinny, and going to th grade if that helps.
Since I’m kinda skinny, I wanna get stronger. I already know about eatting vegies and fruits and keep the sweets low.
But mainly, I want to know some good exercises. Any websites? I’m currently spending about 15-20min a day doing push-ups at night.
BTW, I’m usually kinda hyper and have quite some energy.
I’m not looking for weigh-loss products. I want to gain weight a bit and get stronger.

Answer by David B re
Assuming your not over weight, the first thing you want to do is find out what the standards are for your age (get that from your recruiter) and start training from there. You need to start a running program, learn how to do push ups and a lot of them as well as sit ups. Work on them everyday. Mornings are the best. You can join a gym to keep you motivated if you need it. By the way, learn how to jump rope. You will see results quicker on your cardio and damn good for the arm and shoulder muscles.

Be able to run at least 2 miles, do some exercises with the medicine ball, do push ups, sit ups, crunches and stuff like that to build your upper body. Do some foot work drills. Use the latters (if you know what I mean) you get your footwork better. Practice shooting and juggle the ball some. Just be able to run, have good ball skills and some build up your upper body some

I need some tips getting back into shape for baseball?
Question by E34: I need some tips getting back into shape for baseball?
Well i haven’t played since last season. And i couldn’t play since september til now. I have two weeks, the winter break, to get back into shape. The reason was because i had too many things because of AP classes and such, but recently my parents gave me a car. I live about 6 miles away from school. so now it’s much more easier for me to quickly go home and stuff. Well i was planning to start going to 24 fitness and workout. Any tips?
Best answer:
Answer by mattpiloto
For you, I would say a combination of weight training and high intensity interval training (HIIT). In basketball you require a lot of power and speed, and these 2 things will help you to develop that. I put a link at the bottom that explains the benefits of weight training in more detail. The HIIT is kind of self explanatory. You can find a bunch of videos on youtube of what to do. You should be able to find all of the equipment you need to do both at any gym you go to. Just make sure that you go hard on whatever you are doing. 2 weeks isn’t very long, but you can get a good head start if you push yourself.

Q&A: Is there an online site that gives free workout tips?
Question by David C: Is there an online site that gives free workout tips?
I’m looking for a site that gives free workout tips and tips on getting abs. I don’t need a so-called “quick trick” that will supposedly get me a six-pack in 2 days. I just want tips on how to work out and what to eat to get in shape.
Best answer:
Answer by Abcde C
you want to be ripped, go to bodybuilder.com. eating is more important than workout for abs. this is because no matter how strong your abs are, no one can see them if it’s covered by a thick layer of lard.

If anyone can also provide any of this info it would be very very helpful

Answer by Oldy Sihotang
Eat More Regularly
Due to a naturally high metabolism, the key of how to build a beach body and gain mass for the skinny guy is increasing calorie intake and meal time frequency. As a rough guide aim to consume your bodyweight in pounds multiplied by 24. So, if you weight 150 pounds then you should be consuming around 3,600 calories per day (150×24).
This calorie content should consist of around 25% Proteins, 50% Carbohydrates, and 25% Fats, and should obviously come from healthy sources, not junk food.
Split your food into 6 meals per day to keep energy and metabolic levels consistent, and keep your muscles fed so that you can build a beach body in record time.
Weight Train 3 Times Per Week
To gain muscle mass, the skinny guy should be weight training 3 times per week, focusing on full-body workouts, not splits like Monday = Chest Day, Tuesday = Arms Day, etc.
The reason for this is that you will be working all major muscle groups for the full 3 times per week, and will spend less time in the gym for more results.
With a focus on compound exercises like Squats, Deadlifts, and Bench Press you will be able to move more weight per exercise and get bigger and better muscular development.
Lift Heavy
As an added factor in your weight training routine to build a beach body you should aim to lift as heavy as possible. This forces your muscles to constantly adapt and grow much faster.
It is better to lift heavy on low reps for muscle mass, say 6-8. If you’re comfortably doing more than that then you know the weight is not heavy enough.
Allow Rest and Recovery Time
Probably the most overlooked factor in how to build a beach body is the need for rest and recovery time between workouts. I know that it feels as though time is running out and the holiday is getting ever closer, but you’ll see much more and better gains by making sure you rest at least one day between your workouts. Muscle is built during recovery time, not in the gym.

Fitness tips for a thirteen year old?
Question by : Fitness tips for a thirteen year old?
I am 13, 5ft 7, about 7 1/2 stone. I have a reasonably good diet (lots of vegetables and potatoes and stuff). I’m not overweight, but I do nil exercise because I can’t get motivated to do any. For health reasons I’d like to improve on this. Any tips on how I could get more fit/toned, something I could do at home? (I can’t afford gym fees)
Best answer:
Answer by Ambisinister
Fitness? Oh, you don’t need to exercise your entire body that way, my vast amount of thinking I do every day burns up more fat than I consume.
At least that’s how I do it.
Try to get some meat in your diet, all vegetables doesn’t sound too good. Throw in some carbohydrate, and honestly, as long as you don’t get overboard (which is bordering ridiculous) you can eat whatever you want (personal experience)

Q&A: Do you have any fitness tips for a 13 year old boy?
Question by John: Do you have any fitness tips for a 13 year old boy?
I feel so useless because people tell me i’m so weak and i can’t be strong… I have more of the brains than the muscles…I live in a suburb in Detroit,Mi in wayne county.. I am in 8th grade, my weight is about 83 pounds, my height is 5”5.. I read online that i had to eat a lot of protein and fiber and that made me serious about my nutrition. so i ate 50g of protein a day and 12g of fiber a day. I tried doing some workout plans like 80 push ups a day and 100 crunches a day and 2 minutes of plank a day. But still… nothing happened… I stopped doing the workout… I then told my parents to buy me some dumb bells. They bought me 15 lb dumb bells a week ago. I lifted the dumb bells up and down 20 times for 3 days… Then my arms started hurting… I couldn’t put my arms straight or move them that much. Other kids started making fun of me as usual… My arms still haven’t recovered yet… Then today in school, i was walking in the hall and carrying my books. Some strong kid that is a grade younger than me and looks a little like Jaden Smith was running real fast and chasing his friend (immature) and accidently pushed me… i flew way back and was embarrassed.. but of course he apologized. I hardly even have friends in school… I am now transferring to a different state (away from Detroit) because my dad’s family found a good house near them and because some people are so rude over here. Anyways… What could i do to become stronger?? Please help me! I don’t want to be treated like a uncool,weak,kid anymore. Especially not in a different state.

Getting back into fitness…any tips?
Question by Future Mrs. Lozano: Getting back into fitness…any tips?
Well, let me just tell you a little about my background and maybe you can help. About 2 years ago, i weighed a heavy 186. (i’m 5’3). At the time, i was dating a guy who was in strong man competitions, and was doing some bodybuilding. One day, he took me to the gym, and i fell in love with it. I loved the idea that with just a little bit of effort, i could get the results i wanted. I managed to get down to 143, with 19% body fat and never felt better in my life!
However….I stopped working at the gym, i stopped dating the bodybuilder, started my last two years of college, and well, health somehow took a backseat. A year later, i’m back where i was, with no clue where to start. without direction from someone telling me what i need to eat, what i need to do in the gym, what time, i’m kind of lost. any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
