 Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2007 2:14 pm Post subject: Gym necessary ??? home exercises |
 |
|
Hello friends,
I am a guy from a middle class, I can't afford to spend much money on a gym and also I can't spend much time on going and coming back from gym due to my busy schedule with studies and work, but I am very much health concious and want o build lean muscles.
My age is 27, weight is 70 kgs, height 5.7" and waist is 32.
My question here is,
* is it necessary to join a gym to get a better body in shape ?
* are there any good exercises which I can do at home, by just buying some dumbells, doing jogging ? can I have a good exercise regime at home itself, that way I can save both time and money ? please advise.
* what should be my diet plan ?
Thanks & Regards, |

What's your diet like? Meals? Times?
Do you have anything else part from Dumbbells, is it just one pair or more than one. |

well, I persue my advanced studies in accountnacy and work with a company also in a night shift....
My diet/daily routine is something like this...
4.30 am - 10.30 am : sleep
11:30 am : breakfast ( oatmeal, one glass skim milk)
12:00 pm - 2.00 pm : studies
2.30 pm : lunch (wheat chappaties, curd, vegetables)
3.00 pm - 3.30 pm : sleep
3.30 pm - 4.30 pm : (THIS TIME I CAN SPARE FOR WORKOUT'/EXERCISE AT HOME)
6.00 pm - 3.30 am : work at office
at work i have the following food
6:00 pm : food ( 3 boiled eggs and fruit juice)
10:00 pm : Dinner ( wheat chappaties, a peice of chicken)
2:00 am : food (3 boiled eggs fruit juice)
My work shift ends at 3.30, I reach at home at 4.15 am and go to sleep at 4.30 am again : )
I just have a pair of dumbells, but if you suggest me any other necessary economic equipment, I can buy it. |

12:00 pm - 2.00 pm : studies
2.30 pm : lunch (wheat chappaties, curd, vegetables) (I'd be worried about the Chappaties. Wheat is a high GI source, and you might get an unnecessary Bloodsugar response here.)
6:00 pm : food ( 3 boiled eggs and fruit juice) (Needs changing. Fruit Juice is not that bad, but 3 whole Eggs, is asking for trouble, with all the Yok Cholesterol. If you want some Dairy instead, have something like Low Fat Cheese, usually has a 50/50 split of Saturate to Unsaturate Fat content, and is good for Protein, or One Egg, and some Sliced Turkey or Chicken perhaps.)
10:00 pm : Dinner ( wheat chappaties, a peice of chicken) (Again worried about Chappaties, perhaps have one, and sub some of the lost Wheat for a Veggie instead)
2:00 am : food (3 boiled eggs fruit juice) (Same deal as before, check what I wrote above about this.)
I just have a pair of dumbells, but if you suggest me any other necessary economic equipment, I can buy it. |
The pair of dumbbells might be enough, but ideally, you might be as wise to buy some cheap stuff, like 1-2 Rubber Bands or Tubes, pehaps a small Medicine Ball, just for a bit of variation. |

As I told you, I am a new to exercises, what are the rubber band/tubes and medicine balls and what exercises can i do with them and how to do them? I would really appreciate if you can guide me on this.
Also I would like to know, if you can guide me on how to exercise, as in,
* how many minutes/hour per day and how many days per week should I exercise ?
* what sort of exercise combinations should I have ?
* What is good, jogging or walking ?
* will I be able to do exercises for the growth of all body parts, like biceps, chest, thighs, legs, arms, triceps ? |

go to this website shapefit.com (the one we are in) and look at the exercise guides and you can figure out what you can do. yes witth dumbells you can do everything. google HIIT and Cardio training to learn how you incorporate running jogging etc.
and look at the website well, its fantastic. |
