When I used to body build I would devote full days to bicep/tricep work. I would alternate between the two starting with dumbbells, move to barbells (ez curl) and then to cable machines. I would always finish with supersets bicep curls. Typically I would stage these workouts towards the end of the week prior to rest days.

I used to body build and I would always feel the soreness from a workout more 2-3 days later. Nutrition was right on the money, and I spent a small fortune on premium whey and supplements. Everybody is different and is affected differently. If you want to minimize the soreness you need to do some stretching before and…

I recommend a good heart rate monitor and good cross trainer shoe (I use Reebok nano 2) instead of a runner. The neutral rise helps with the plyometrics.

recomend front squats. No risk to your neck and you get the advantage of core work as well. You cross your arms and allow the bar to rest on your biceps and use your hands to steady the bar. You can't do as much weight but its good stuff.

You have to set priorities. Make it a priority in your life to set aside 20 minutes a day to do some type of exercise. Its doesn't have to be in a gym.

Currently doing P90x for the second time around. Did it a few years ago, and lost a bunch of weight. Started traveling with work a lot and put the weight back on. Now I am back at it.

I have found that I almost always burn more fat on circuit strength training than cardio machines. Back and leg workouts target the largest muscles in the body and therefore are going to burn the most calories. Arm, shoulder, and ab workouts are important to include in your regime but are the smaller muscle groups in the…

You can get a lot of the information off line, but you need to set a base for where you are at now. When I got started I purchased the encyclopedia of body building which is loaded with good information (exercise regimes and proper technique). Using those workouts I was able to go from 185 to 215 in a year (added muscle…

Ditto on what everyone has said before, I would just add getting a set of bands to add some resistance to the workouts and keep a motivational journal.

Plenty of people have done what you are asking, so yes its very much possible. First thing is setting up you mind to succeed and have realistic goals. Second is proper nutrition. Forget the shakes and bars and seek out fresh vegetables, lean meats, fish, and nothing deep fat fried. Learn to cook clean. Third is start with…

Decent shoes (runners or cross-trainers), good heart rate monitor, set of bands, mat, push up bars, and doorway pull up bar. You can do all of that for under $300 if you shop around and use ebay, and get one hell of a work out in a close space if you are motivated.

Insanity is hard, but you just do what you can for as long as you can. I highly recommend a good heart rate monitor. That will keep you in the zone and allow you go further in the workout without totally burning out in the first 15 minutes.

Love the TRX. It allows me the opportunity to change up workouts and be creative with the exercises. For core work it is hard to beat. There are a bunch of exercises you can modify to your level. Its a great tool, but you still need other types of workout regiments for overall fitness. Mixed with zumba, you are on the…
