| Anyone here have a daily routine they do?
I've recently lost about 30 pounds due to unfortunate circumstances. Lost all my muscle, and dropped most of my fat.
I think I should at least try to get back into shape if I wanna play soccer with my friends again.
I don't feel like going to a health forum just for this. So, anyone know anything simple to do? |

| If it's to play soccer then do skipping, it's far better than it sounds and is an amazing cardio workout. Works your calfs and lungs too, and you won't get a much more simple workout than skipping. Only 5-15 minutes a day. Weights really won't help you in soccer lol, I'm a rugby player by stature but I prefer soccer

| Thanks, I'll go dig out the skipping rope tomorrow then. I guess working up my time from 5 minutes to 10 through a week would be my best bet. |

| Before I started I looked into it, some people say to start at 5 minutes a day for a week or so and go up until you reach 15. You won't feel too tired after your first session, but after a day or so your calfs will ache, especially if you haven't played soccer for a while. Also if you're trying to lose weight do it in the morning before eating, but by the sound of it that isn't your aim. |

| Lol naw, not my aim at all. I was 200 pounds before, 170 pounds or a bit less now. Though I guess I could do it before breakfast since I usually eat breakfast around 10am.... lol.
+ I'll have to find out what I can do with a kettleball. It's mostly my thighs and Calf muscles i need to build up. So maybe squats? not sure. |

| Squats are good, but make sure you stretch quads and calfs before skipping or doing squats, having your quads seize up while doing a squat (especially with weights) is crippling lol. Try lunges too, good for stretching and working your quads. |

| alright. And do you know anything for strengthening core muscles? I know lunges are supposed to help with them, but anything else? |

| Don't want to be doing crunches, apparently they're bad for your lower back(same with situps) |

| Plenty of ab workouts, all work your core, but I personally prefer leg raises (whatever they're called, lie on your back and raise feet/legs 6 inches off the ground and hold). I think some Lat workouts help, but yeah, mostly just work your abs. Also do side-crunches to target your outer abs. Best thing is you can do heavy ab workouts daily, the only muscle group where that isn't discouraged. |

| Ah, then definitely try the leg raises and also the "bridge" I think it's called. |

| Lol no worries, I used to be heavily into weights then stopped (couple of pretty bad injuries, also bad heart). Skipping is great for keeping the weight off; I started in preparation for the soccer season, lost 5 kilos over the month without really trying. Just stick with it mate |

| hmm, weighing less is actually better lol. But muscle weighs more than fat. So I guess bulk up? I envy you = = being light.
And hey, I'm half japanese, so you can't use that as an excuse lol. |

| Also for weight gain, eating 5-6 smaller meals rather than 3 big ones could help, my mom keeps telling me to do that since she wants me to gain weight again lol. |
