Whats a workout that will be more effective?

Whats an easy daily workout?

  • Ok so the past 3 months ive lost over 40 pounds and im very proud of myself. Now i want to start to build muscle. Im not good with working out normally because of the lack of motivation but lately ive been feeling like i wanna workout, so i was wondering whats an easy workout plan that will make me look tighter and in shape. I dont wanna be huge i just wanna look defined. About a year ago i broke one of my wrists and it hurts when i do push ups. Is there anything else i can do that works like a push up or should i just do knee pushups until my wrist becomes strong enough to do real ones again? The key areas that i what toned would be my stomach, thighs, chest and arms. Thighs most of all. Thank you for your help :D

  • Answer:

    Squats, leg lifts, crunches-both normal and side, going up and down stairs tones your muscles. Hiking can be fun and in the right terrain really works your legs and core. Yoga strengthens and tones and increases flexibility while still being considered lite exercise. You can try doing what one of my friends used to do which she called "wall pushups" which is basically a pushup but done standing up against a wall. You could also lay flat on your back and using only your core muscles lift your upper body and reach for your toes, return to original position and repeat.

just do 100 crunches, 50 push ups tree times a day and that will help you to get six pack and muscle.

If you broke your wrist and push-ups hurt…DO NOT do push-ups. DO NOT do any exercise that would involve your wrist if it hurts…even if it does not hurt but just “clicks” or makes any sound (I do not do bench dips because my left wrist makes a painless popping sound…better safe than sorry). Weight training is an intense exercise, so intense that you cannot even get enough oxygen to process fat reserves so you have to rely on carbs. Even with uninjured wrists, doing push-ups could injure them if you’re not using the right kind of push-up handles for the kinds of push-ups that you’re doing. I have very small wrists (5 ¾) and believe me…I’m using the right push-up handles for my desk push-up (45 degree angle, halfway between the wall and the floor). Even if I would have the youth and muscular strength to handle floor push-ups, I would never do those without the proper handles as your wrists should never get out of alignment (between the forearm and hand) when training your muscles. I’m always appalled to see Chuck Norris in an infomercial about Total Gym, moving his wrists all over the place…I like the guy but really? Move your wrists while weight training? If you cannot do push-ups…no problem. Push-ups work the chest, triceps and shoulders so it’s a nice upper body combo to complete the biceps and back workout. If you cannot do push-ups, you just replace those with chest, triceps and shoulders exercises. You’re like “gosh, I cannot eat my soup with carrots, potatoes and onions” but you can still eat a carrot, oven-bake a potato and add onion to your sandwich. If you broke your wrist a year ago, don’t expect it to “become strong enough” to handle weight training if it has not done that yet. Your body might need a few months to heal some parts but after a year…you just need to accept that it is a lifetime deal and deal with it…adapting your workout to your physical abilities. Edit: Of course, warm up and stretch before and after...do I need to remind you of this? Hopefully not. I like your idea of your “key areas”…core, lower body and upper body. Your key areas are basically your whole body so do whole body workout.

First of all, before you try to workout with weights or whatever, you must get those muscles sweating and stretchy. If not, your muscles will swell and cause them to twist, which of course causes pain. After you have done a quick jog, check if you're sweating. If you are, it's a sign to start your workout. Do Chinups. First, it's quite hard. So try placing your chin on top of the bar as long as you can. If you can do at least 30seconds, get a lad to help you get your chin up the bar. After these steps, you will be able to do at least one. (If not, there's something wrong with me or you). If you master this technique, you will be able to do at least 5 to 10 chinups. This will get your abs in shape and your biceps, or triceps. Also, try to jog up several stairs you see in parks. This will strengthen your thighs and calves. For the chest, I recommend you to do the benchpress. Hope this helps:)
