You don't have a bad diet there. Obviously as your a student I presume you drink a fair amount?

Try and cut that down a lot if you do as not only do the alcoholic drinks contain a lot of calories but they also slow your metabolism down.

Try and make it a regular thing if you want to get fit. I started working out around the summer now after coming back of holiday and really not being to amused with the beer belly that I had gained. Anyway if you can stick to it and keep eating right you should notice results in no time.

Actually, I generally reserve alcohol for special occasions, for two reasons:

1) Despite how much I will whine and hiss about it, the fact remains that I'm still about 2 years under age to drink legally(legal age is 21 here). And I'm frankly a sissy when it comes to breaking the law.

2) I'm too much of a schizoid to be a hard partier- I prefer small engagements with a couple friends, not the sort of house parties that are frequent at UNI.

That's a good thing then. I normally try and keep my drinks to a maximum of of one every hour. Obviously I occasionally go over but I try not to. And I'm exactly the same. I would prefer the pub to a night club any day. I just don't see how a crammed room full of sweaty people of there heads on drugs is more relaxing than sitting in a nice environment enjoying good conversation.

Damn I've aged badly..

If you got problems with alcohol, you've got problems with me buddy!



Gah! After the exams are through I need to start working out decently again. Currently I'm doing only doing some push ups and sit ups and likes. So I was thinking about a good routine for when you have no trainers or weights. After a search on wikipedia I bumped in the physical test of the American army, I tought that might make a good routine, but after reading they only do push ups, sit ups and a mere 3 mile run. And what's even worse is that the standards are really ow too. (Most people who aren't obese, but hardly ever excercise can do them!)

Anyone a good I dea for some quick routines and excercises for examperiods. I'm doing push ups, sit ups, pull ups (with head before and behind the bar.) And that thingy they do in prison of which I forgot the name.

You can buy a fairly cheap weight set with a bench for under £120 but if your not willing to do that a routine with out is easy.

try doing some cardio, a 1k run should do at first to build initial fitness. Then do some abdominal work, stomach crunches,sit ups and the like there is a very wide range of exercises, most can be found searching the internet. For pectoral work and building your arms do push-ups on your knuckles, I find that it stops you from cheating and not using your upper body for the push-ups. Pull ups are also good for the arms particularly the biceps and well your running should be able to work your calf muscles and a lot of your legs.

I normally spend about 1 hour on weight work and then 20 minutes on cardio. I would give you a more detailed list of exercises but I'm pushed for time at the minute. If your interested when I have some free time I could draw you up a list of exercises.

The offers always there.

No money, a student remember? Also I've got some weights, but they're at home.

I'm no complete beginner either. I tend to do 20 push ups with my hands right next to each other, 20 on my knuckles. And finish with 10-15 with only my right arm and 10 with my left one. Then I tend to do 90 sit ups, of wich 30 normal, 30 to the left, 30 to the right. 10 normal chin ups, and 7 with the bar behind my head and back. Then I build of from 20 to 0 (Every set one less) with the jailhouse excercise which name I forgot. Of course I don't do that all right after each other. That tends to be my semi-daily excercise. Twice a week I try to go to the gym for some cardio (usually 30 minutes of running, 20 minutes of rowing, two times 5 minutes rest) The second hour I spend looking at girls and squash. When at home I also use my cheap weights while watching tv (too rarely though) and during my at home exercise. Never use weights at the gym though, I feel too embarresed surrounded by those big guys.
Personnaly I think I'm in quite a decent shape (especially considering I'm a student and like to party and drink that much.) Not as muscular as I would like to be though, but I guess it's my diet. (Quite unhealthy, not that I'm obese though.) I really have no bit of fat on me, and it's not that I don't eat enough.

Well it's probably your diet then. But no need to change it your young, eat bad when your young and party hard, you have the rest of your life to worry about being fat.
