http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.html traineo forum thread - Hello everyone, It's the new kid in town, hoping for some advice. Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:31:39 +0000 http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlQuoting: LanceDroyIsnt running good exercise for your legs? No. Well...define "good exercise." I guess it depends on your goals, but running distance at a low intensity isn't conducive to any kind of muscular growth. I assume you want muscle in your legs, right? Running anything other than sprints is not going to take you there. If you start squatting and deadlifting once or twice a week, you will get stronger everywhere, and your testosterone will likely take a boost and ...http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlWed, 23 Jul 2008 13:31:39 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlQuoting: LanceDroyFinally, ive always had a slow metabolism, I am still slightly nervous about trying to consume that many calories. As long as you are eating good food (read: no simple carbs!) and working your rear off at the gym, you should be fine, but if you are still really nervous about it, you can work your way up. If you are normally eating 1800 for example, then next week eat 2000/day, and the next week 2200/day, ect, ect....http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlWed, 23 Jul 2008 12:38:06 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlokay, I was worried that you'd have to worry about staying under the cut for weigh ins. yes, if you post your diet either me, or someone who knows more about this than me should be able to tell you where things can change. also I just found this guide completely at random, it seems fairly legit.

For Ian Sawlor: Ill take a look at that website, and ill clock my calories each day. Protein is hard considering I am a vegetarian, Ive got lots of cottage cheese through .

I think your workout is good enough provided you keep in mind balancing your workout to your whole body. If you prefer not to work specific muscle groups each day, you should at least start working squats and lunges into your strength days. You could consider looking up kettlebells and their proper use for a good core strength, balance, and endurance. I'm curious as to what your diet is like. If your diet isn't right then you could do those exercises un...http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlTue, 22 Jul 2008 17:05:08 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlQuoting: BourblasterSo on what mythical day of the week do you work your legs.

That is essential to my martial arts. But the max-heart rate thing is a weight off my mind, thnx. for Emily Outland: 1: It's nice to think I could eat that much food, but i worry you may be wrong, ive only just reached my ideal weight and ive been doing this workout for a month and a bit, I'...http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlTue, 22 Jul 2008 08:02:37 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlHi Lance, 1. Eat more than 2700 calories a day. Protein and Veggies are most important. I did a calorie calculation based on your height, weight, and age. 2. You have a good start at fitness, but to put on the muscles in an even way you should aim for a more balanced weight training program. Mens Health magazine online has a great workout called TNT you could check out for strength training and cardio. Any strength training book from the library or goodwill would help you.

I see a problem with your schedule that bugs me, and it's that you don't work out particular muscles you just have listed machines you use. You should consider working out specific muscles on certain days instead of machines. Also, going over the max heartrate doesn't mean you burn less fat. I think most people here actually go over, I know I do....http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlMon, 21 Jul 2008 22:06:51 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6305_0.htmlI am happy with my current weight : 136lbs, 6ft1, 15 years old.
