I'm going to start doing some at home exercise. Nothing real serious just some push-ups, sit-ups, and some dumbbells. I heard doing these exercises every morning and night is a good way to gain the muscle. Now I actually have some natural muscle, I haven't worked out for like...2 years. Sad, I know. But I've never really thought I had to.Now I don't have any equipment (not that I could afford it anyways) and I don't have the best eating habits, but i don't eat candy and chips all day long. I'll have a salad every few days, but I'm going to go cold turkey on soda. I weight 120 right now, and i'm about 5'6-5'7. I swear to god I have not gained more than 5 pounds in the last year, it's actually really weird. So if you have any tips, or any more info you think would help me. Please feel free to drop a comment and I would be glad to read through them. Thanks ya, wish me luck ;)
Excellent to hear about this! Check out Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey.. He goes into great detail about a variety of body-weight exercises that will help you get into shape very fast!
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you can, check out P90X. I hear many great things and am planning on trying it myself.
But be careful: you don't want to burn yourself out doing two-a-days right from the get-go. Easing into a routine is definitely a better way of starting. Remember, consistency is key.

wow sounds good! cant wait to see more
ReplyDeleteMake sure you break a sweat and do it for at least an hour.
ReplyDeletei started out at 5'7" 120lbs now im 170lbs. check out my blog i posted a lot of good info about how to get bigger.
ReplyDelete5'7" 150lbs here. Gaining muscle from home is always hard, so you'll have to be serious about it. 120lbs sounds a little light, i don't think you'll have to worry about cutting soda and stuff out of your diet, but then again it is aways good to eat well. Make sure you're eating enough to gain muscle mass, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm 5'7 165 lol nice blog :) been doing 2 miles a day and benching with some swimming
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to stretch also. I made the mistake of just lifting weights onetime without warming up or anything first, the next day I was sore as shit.
ReplyDeleteGood luck mate. Just stick with it, no matter what. Also stretching makes a WORLD of difference.
ReplyDeleteGreat valentinesday gift!
ReplyDeletePlanned to start working out too, but meh...
ReplyDeleteIf only I wasn't that lazy I'd do the same... Good luck !
ReplyDeleteI never work out and Im still like 150 lbs. Yay me I guess.
ReplyDeleteAll you have to do is like 100 push up and sit up a day, until you can do it without a break. Then do 200 a day, so on and so forth. That's what I do
ReplyDeleteIf you ever plan on hittin the gym up, be sure to do some deadlifts
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteI was 5'11, 125 my freshmen year in college. Whatever.
ReplyDeleteI've gained like 75 lbs in the past year and a half. got lazy. stupid relationships.
ReplyDeletenever again.
good luck, bro.
cool blog im following!
ReplyDeleteExercise is really important man, even just walking 15-30 mins a day is great for you
ReplyDeletep90 works man
ReplyDeleteI actually started working out yesterday, always nice to be in shape
ReplyDeletenice, nothing wrong with that
ReplyDeleteWe have the exact opposite problems... I'm 6'3, 230, and can't DROP weight easilly! Gaining muscle and weight has never been an issue for me (I'm in great shape now, just a little extra around the middle), and no matter how much cardio/running/cycling I do, it WON'T LEAVE!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, P90x totally works, give it a shot!
