Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
I'm not sure if i'm meant to contribute to other peoples problems but i don't how much fitness knowledge so couldn't even if i wanted to...anyway i have a problem where my fairly well defined abs bulges out further than my chest kinda making me look fat. Not sure what to do to get my chest muscles bigger or if the problem is poor posture make my stomach stick out, tbh my lower back does have quite a curve and i have no idea how to sort that out.
Thanks for all suggestions.

I'm wondering if these diet pills actually speed up your heart rate too which in turn tricks the body into thinking you are doing cardio when you aren't. If your pumping weights but shredding weight whatever it is at the same time, your never in a million years going to but on muscle. Your pecs are there, but you need to build on them. A balanced diet usually goes a long way too, plenty of protein is the trick.
Hey I'm not expert, but it's clear where your going wrong. Cut the diet pills which help you too lose weight, eat right (protein, protein, protein) and work relevant muscles whilst allowing them time to repair too.

...nice rant.
I wasn't refering to any of what you mentioned. I meant "clueless as the rest of us" in the sense that all of us seem to know more than we do, in actuality (including myself). I didn't mean nobody here has any knowledge when it comes to fitness.
All I meant was he/she should consider another manner of presenting his or her opinion(s).

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
Hahaha, finally this thread gets lively!
Diet pills? A little more info would be good. Ones you get from supplement stores are thermogenic tablets that are supposed to increase your metabolism. Prescription ones we get here are usually called Duromine. My wife has been able to get it for me for free, she's a nurse. I took them to try them out and lost 6 kilos in about 2 weeks without trying anything different. A good diet is the best thing for anyone trying to lose weight. Situps/crunches etc won't enable you to lose fat. It's not possible.
I think what Father Flex is trying to say is people need to be careful with the advice they give and take from this thread. Experts seem to come and go. Offer advice by all means but be careful in the manner with which you do it.

do you have access to a gym, weights or anything? otherwise simple bodyweight exercises (push ups + the varients of those) are a decent way to start.

This(!) is well said.
And just because I mentioned this doesn't mean you have to listen, either. There's a fine line that if crossed, can steer someone's impression (in the fitness world) the wrong way.
Only my two cents, of course. Giving some tips; that's all.

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
So I was wondering on opinions here.
What daily vitamin pills do you take or recommend taking. Just for maintaining or gaining a more healthy lifestyle and such.
I take Vitamin D daily, since I've been recommended it.
No need for Vitamin C, since I have enough fruit.
I was wondering for not just Vitamins, but if those heart omega-3 pills or joint pills and such would effect positively no matter what. I mean I have some joint pain, but I mean I'm a young healthy guy, I wouldn't want to ruin it, reliant on a bunch of pills that damage me in any way. Thanks.

Oh no I'm tanned and out enough. It's just proven that still most people benefit from getting Vitamin D, health wise.

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
most people get enough from sun exposure and a little from their diets.
