  • there is a big difference between doing strength based workouts and cardio/strength circuits. doing few reps of very heavyweight is going to tax your nervous system quite significantly and you will need a few days to properly recover, however circuit training with i'm guessing a lot of bodyweight exercises and light…
  • Firstly, eat more food. 1800 calories is not enough for a 17 year old guy, especially one that is active.

  • Dorms are a rip off in terms of just living costs.. but in the first year of uni, the experience of living with everyone in the same situation, having lots of fun, is sooo worth it.

But as long as you are doing press-ups and sit-ups, i would suggest adding squats and/or lunges into that…
  • you should just do lots of compound exercises if you want to build muscle, and loosing fat is pretty much down to diet. Id suggest you should start with doing lots of bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, press-ups, dips, pullups (if you can do them). and then getting adjustable dumbbells, or a barbell, in order to do…
  • So are you saying you havn't lost any weight in 3 weeks? It is important to record everything you eat if you want to be successful, although it would seem that your at a pretty good weight for your height already, and your body is not going to want to drop much more weight. However as a fellow student I would say that if…
