kind of a weird request here... im not a fitness freak or anything.. but its high time i started doing something with my health.
basically.. i have drank beer pretty much every night for the last 10 or 11 years since i left school... i dont do any working out or any major excercise anymore. im not fat, but i do have a bit of a beer belly. i used to work out a lot when i was about 16-17 [10ish years ago] i hada great body then, not massively muscular, but a nice set of abs, toned arms, and quite a protruding chest. but since then i have not excercised a lot, and the drink is doing to my body what drink will do, but over the last few weeks i have stopped drinking through the week [which has been hard for me]
my stomach is not big, but theres a little bit of fat around there, also my chest went from being quite muscular to flacid, i dont have manboobs yet, but lets say my chest still sticks out like it used to, but its not hard anymore.
my basic problem is.. i have panic disorder, and one of the things that sets an attack off is not being able to control my heart rate... if i DO do excercise i.e treadmill or something, my heart rate goes up, and it feels like i cant control it, which equals having a panic attack... but i want my fitness and my physique to develope again... so basically im just wondering, what is the best thing i can do, to get back on top of things to trim myself up, and also build up some decent muscle without exsert too much cardially as that gives me problems |
Running long distances in an easy pace is a good way to burn fat. It doesn't raise your heart rate too much, either, if you do it properly. A watch (or any other device) combined with a chest band can be a very useful tool in this.
There are downsides, though:
* You don't start burning fat from mile 0.
* Running slowly takes discipline and patience. It's easy to go too fast.
* It might take a while before your body is adapted to running for multiple hours.
* It doesn't do anything for muscle build. |

if u drink that 3 times a day and you work out - let's say - every other day, you'll probably just gain sloppy weight. |
well i started working out 4-5 times aweek. and my plan is to drink it 30 mins before a workout and then right after. and finally once before i go to sleep. |

+1 im not taking any meds for it now.. i am taking milk thistle everyday to help my liver and 5htp to perk me up from day to day [wether it works i dont know] also i know any form of excercise raises my heart rate, i can do some things.. but anything too strenuous like running up a lot of stairs really fast would mess me up.. so you reckon just start of with some long walks, then perhaps build up to some mild jogging, then running |

Nope, general basis is consume 1-1.5g/lb body weight for the day. Taking it after a workout is a perfect time, but it's consumption overall for the day that matters. |

I just did free weights for the first time since high school... just a normal benchpress only 50lbs+bar and it didnt kill me while doing it, but my arms feel like they have lead hands now... :mad:
Its bad this last week I have slipped into a stagnant trend... I haven't ridden since saturday and done nothing but sleep really. I am not constantly tired cause I dont exert energy! :wtf:
Also its too damn warm out! :mad: |

i dont think peopel should just be downing protein to get that 1 to 1.5 per lb
the protein from regular food is a much better source, just use a supplement as such a "supplement" for getting those extra grams you missed from your meals |

ur first step is to control or reduce ur anxiety b/c if it acts up when ur heart rate goes up, then its meaningless to do any exercise which can provoke panic attacks.. but i;d say long walks and definitely caloric control if u want to lose fat.. eat less than u use up. so eat about 500 calories less a day and walk |

| Just hit the weights. Thankfully I haven't lost much strength if any... maybe some gains. |

well no, this is for weight training. As for protein quality, whey has a much higher BV (Biological Value) than most other protein sources.
