Started on cardio now, and have stuck to doing around 100 press-ups and 100 crunches per day, every so often 200 crunches.

So yeah, pretty good so far.

The sit ups have giving me stomach cramps now, but that's what I get when I do them all in one go.

Jake, I noticed your routine involves little to no cardio. Cardio is a vital part of fat loss.

You could have huge muscles like Arnold but you wont see much definition with a layer of fat over them.

Fat isn't my problem, I'm thin as a twig. I'm just trying to counterbalance my hours of daily inactivity.

Oh, lol. Well good luck mate. But yeah, jump rope 30 min. at least. I know quite a few body builders who can bench 400 but can't run a mile without wheezing because they remove all sort of cardio from their routine.

Just some friendly advise, not that I think you're doing things wrong or anything :)

One month now since I started (although I must confess to having missed a day or two). I can now do 70-80 push ups consecutively, vs the 20-30 I could manage starting out. I might try and increase my daily total from 100 to 150. I've also started adding in sit ups.

Well, okay. I'd not bothered to look in this thread until now, but I suppose that, now I have, I'll join in.

I walk for one hour a day, 5 days a week. I think that each time I take the dogs out (twice a day for half an hour), I walk about 2 miles...

However, in the spirit of this, I'll do some more.

40 Pushups.
40 Squats
45 seconds x 2 of the plank (Look it up)
20 Situps.

Each day.

I used to do quite a bit more exercise, but I've fallen out of the habit. I'll build up to this over time, so that, by next week, I'll be doing this 5 days a week as well (If I had the money to buy some dumbbells, I'd do that too...)

I do absolutely nothing. I just sit around and play video games, mess around in Illustrator, and doodle. I do walk a few miles to school and back every weekday though. Well, at least until I graduate.

if abdomen is what your aiming for... do 100 sit ups and 100 crunches a day... also, for guys, i know it might seem a lil wierd, but have a picture of someone with whatever ur aiming for, stronger arms, a six pack.. etc... and for weight lifters, do not strain yourself, and always do it properly..
