I love working out. today was my first time working out and WOW if feels so good! I love that burn feeling in my stomach after doing so many crunches(well im trying to do crunches at least. And in time ill progress into doing FULL crunches instead of half crunches). I got a slim figure, but that's all going away soon! What I use: -10 Pound Paintbucket • It's light enough for me to lift it without having my wrist feel like it's gonna pop off. -Speakers • Music from my computer! -Computer • To play music off of! You can use your phone/mp3 player though. -DETERMINATION • Before I thought working out meant you didn't want to do it but I jsut did it and I LOVE to do it. Too bad I already showered today though What I do and what I will continue to do for the entire 2 months of school I am off~ 1. I lift weights(paintbucket LOL) before I do my crunches. That's just the way I do it. Three reps of ten on each arm. 2. Do normal crunches for about 5 minutes. 3. Do left side crunches for about 5 minutes. 4. Do right side crunches for about 5 minutes. 5. Do normal crunches for about 5 minutes. 6. Lift weights again, doing the same amount of reps on each arm. 7. Run backwards with my 10 pounds backpack on so that my legs get a bit of work. Especially my thighs Is there anything wrong with what I am doing? Should I do this everyday? Every other day? Thanks basil!

i swear i do the same arm workout but with my backpack(it weights more then 10 pounds) try doing a forearm workout and pushups as well. i do my shoulders too with weights lifting them up and down with my arms straight out horizontally

I'm not really sure if push ups are a good idea for me because I can only do like 7 pushups until all the blood rushes to my head and my head feels like its gonna burst.

If you don't wanna do pushups, you could try doing bicycle crunches, or maybe that board thing.

LOL well your gains are way ahead of you with those workouts. Since you have a slim frame eats lots more and try to stay within the hour bracket of an effective workout. EDIT: never work the same muscles everyday. they need rest and you do too. the key to effective muscle building is what's called MUSCLE CONFUSION. google it

This sounds like Dimo's 1 month challenge all over again.

Those aren't exactly proper workout exercises, but hey, it's a start.

You seem to be doing good, but if you wake up the next day sore all over you overdo it idk your metabolism.

Yeah, being sore sucks...but it means it's working, so it does feel good in a way. :P Speaking of which, I've been slacking.
