That is not true at all. I have the flu and cannot work out. You know why I have the flu? Because I walked outside even though it was freezing out there. I feel miserable.

I would rather have not worked out that day, worked out when it was warmer, and not have the flu than to work out and get the flu.

You misunderstood me. I totally agree you shouldn't workout if you are sick, etc. What I was trying to say that you shouldn't be afraid of taking some days off just bcuz you think you will get lazy. Bcuz people who choose not to return to their normal workout routines after they get better simply never had the will and determination to really take to it in the first place. Sorry for not wording my previous post better.

Running and free-weight is what I usually do. I use machines if I'm lazy or if I just want to burn out. 7 days a week.

cortisol = no good. training one muscle 7 days a week is counter-productive.

Jusg bcuz some guy said that on the "Doctors" show doesn't make it true just so you know. It's not counterproductive. People just like to say so to have an excuse to only workout every other day.

Believe it or not, if you do have the flu, you probably didn't get it because you walked outside in the cold. You probably were exposed to it from someone else who has it. Its not a big deal though. Just take some time to get well and continue to workout.

Why if? I'm telling the truth, I am sick. Do people here think I am a liar or something?

He didn't say you are a liar, nor did he imply so. You are trying too hard to read between the lines.

no one is calling you a liar he is just stating a fact that you cannot catch a cold just from exposure to cold weather rather you have to be exposed to the germs that your body isn't prepared to combat which can more likely be caused by other people or usage of common spaces or objects.

everyone knows your sick he even advised you to take rest for a few days etc.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo

been a long ass time haven't been around here for a while now...

i haven't been doing that well lately...gained a bit of weight and picked up some unhealthy habits along the way...now i am back on track but the holiday season is kinda kicking my ass right now.

also trying to work on some better abdominals from now on what do you guys think i should do?

i'm looking for better chest and abdominal workouts.

Firstly, I don't watch 'Doctors'. And secondly, rest is million times more important than the workout itself. When you workout, your muscles rip, if you workout while those muscles are ripped and don't let them rest, how are they supposed to repair and grow? You will in fact lose muscle without adequate rest and nutrients. Muscles don't grow when your executing the lift, they grow when they heal. Even power lifters, IFBB bodybuilders and veterans of fitness don't workout 7 days a week or even one muscle 7 days a week.

I do chest twice a week. Here's mine:

Decline DB Press
Decline Flies
Flat DB Press
Flat flies
Incline DB Press
Incline DB Press (Palms facing in)
Knuckle Push-Ups

Everything is 8x4 (reps then sets) and push-ups are 12x4. I always try to get in an extra one or two reps with everything though for the extra pump.

I do core twice a week:

Plank (2-3 minutes)
Leg Raises
Weighted Crunches
Bicycles

Everything is 12x6 with 30-45 seconds rests between sets.

[podsaurus]

I'm assuming you're trying to lose weight?

Yep, exercising lowers your immune system temporarily. So it would be wiser to just rest up. However, like you said, exercising helps when I'm feeling groggy and such. Makes me feel more alive.

Only some weight. I know I gained some not working for 4 months. I think the weight will com right off being back at work and on my feet. Mostly I want to lose it because my jeans fit fine 4 months ago. I don't want to spend the money buying new jeans

24 hours is more than enough time to recoup. Hence why I do in fact gain muscle, plain and simple.

Also, you're muscles don't rip; They breakdown and dissolve.

Believe what you want then. I don't have the stomach for these games.

Nothing different. I just wasn't moving around as much. :P

you could still lose weight without any exercise though. you must've been on a caloric surplus if you gained weighed.

[podsaurus]

Probably. It's not even that much weight gained but apparently it's enough make my jeans feel too small. Last time I weighted myself before the arm I was 177lbs. Last week when I weighed myself I was at 185.5lbs. Pretty sure when I gain weight to goes to the hips and thighs mostly

Oh dog are you serious with this? I'd like to have some back up with this again.

Oh yeah I forgot, it's the truth again! Of course you don't need to elaborate then....

See. Now this is why I don't care to "elaborate" things for you. I don't want to put up with some nonsense flame war bcuz you decide to throw a tantrum.

You come here, post ''information'' that is clearly false or opinions that you call facts and then don't elaborate at all. When I ask you to elaborate you go around them over and over with different excuses, for example this time saying that you're afraid of a flame war.

If you can't back-up anything that you post then why are you posting at all? Why would anyone believe anything that you say? I'm sorry for being mean but there are beginners here too who would like to learn, and posting false information does not help them at all.

I've decided that I'm putting on too much weight because my metabolism is too slow. So from here on out, I'm gonna get up at 4 and go for an hour jog every morning.

Woah, that's quite a promise there! But yeah, at least a 30-minute jog every day should get that metabolism of yours pumping.

I normally wake up at 4:30 so its not too far off.

But I need to get fit, I'm strong...I just don't look it.
