Not really an issue, I would suggest that you go to the gym and work with/under a pro rather than doing stuff yourself. 2 months regular work out in a gym would give u a clearer idea as to what exercises you need to do and how they should be done. I would suggest u to go to a gym for whatever time you can.

^^wat you need is skipping, treadmill and a morning walk(start running afterwards).

No need to do resistant exercises (involving external weights), u need stretching exercise with push ups, pull ups and sit ups.

Thats a simple schedule if u want to work on

abstain from eating oily-fatty things and anything thats too sweet (sugar is bad).

Running can be really effective. Run atleast 1km (ideally 2km) daily on treadmill. Cycling also helps. Do push-ups and pull-ups. Also do the stair stepping exercise (dunno what it's exactly called). Then jump continuously at one spot for atleast a minute. Also jog for a minute daily on one spot (i.e. don't move forward). And do some house work as well. ;)

i am 19, 188 and m 80 kgs....

i suggest go for a long jog and cut down on the junk...jog regularly and eat lots of food with "negative-calorie"..foods which uses more calories to digest than what it actually provides to the body..eat lots of protiens...that should do it...

dont go on a fruit diet..stay low on carbs but eat lots of protiens..you are still into your teens and cutting down on essential nutrients for the sake of slimming down will affect your body in the long run..

dont eat too much at a time...eat in small amounts but regularly..

eat lots of eggs and milk...preferrably leave the yolk part out...

lots of fish and lean meat..dont eat red meat...

negative-cal- oatmeal,almonds(any kinda nuts,etc)

I'm 110Kg myself and gonna get in to shape in my vacations and my plan is simple:
"RUN Like Forrest Gump, Run Forrest Run". Nothing beats running when it comes cuttin' the flab back into shape. Warm Up by walking for few minutes, get your legs activated for some pain by skipping if for not 5-10 mins then 100 hops. Then run like hell. Need motivation then tie a Chicken Leg piece to ur @ss and Street mutts would be more than happy to help and accompany you.:D
For those sickly paws joining extensions u call ur arms, do Push Ups.Period:cool:

Do cardio exercises like jogging, swimming, cycling, stepping. Make sure your heart beat reaches a high level but don't run out of breath. It will take about a month to adjust and find the right balance, maybe even more.
For toning of muscles, do dips, squats and surya namaskars, no need to pick up wieghts in the beginning.
Some of my favourite food items after gymming are soya beans or raw eggs in honey. And good amount of fruit through the day but don't overdo it.
And remember, health isn't a 2 month programme, it's a year round routine.

First run in a park.
Do small jumps and high jumps.
do side stepping than
stretch ur hands.
than do 50-60 situps
time to hit dumbells
do as many push-ups as u can as they help a lot.
than take a walk.


For a diet, hmm, take a glass of milk and 4-5 marrie biscuits in the morning. Sometimes juice also dosent hurt. In afternoon limit ur diet to stuff made from wheat and vegetables. Eat less rice. In evening take a light meal. Maybe sumthing like a veg. sandwich made from wheat-floor. Eat wheat and vegies and fruits the most. Eat less fatty food. BUT REMEBER, if u want to build ur body than u need some fat.

Best of luck :)

For me the best thing that works is
Stretching exercise (avoids injuries caused daily by muscle wear n tear)
Push ups, pull ups and sit ups (doesnt require any external weights and can be done at any time am free)
few balancing and flexion exercise.
sleeping without a pillow helps the neck sprains and posture.

For food:
I love fresh fruits (though its not a meal everyday)
Home made food
lots of water
No junk food(yeah sometimes i do like to go)
no non-veg food (bad bad choice for longevity )

Watch out for what fruits you eat- most people eat apples and bananas and stuff- those are extremely high calorie fruits. Honestly the safest(and most disgusting) things you can eat are vegetables made with little oil and occasionally the boiled potato.
Avoid complex starches, try to workout in the morning and eat a largeish breakfast(poached or boiled egg if you like eggs) take a moderate lunch and a very light dinner. If possible(and this is hard to do) try to stop eating carbs at least 2-3 hours before you sleep.
Above that just portion control. Cut down helpings slowly- if you do it drastically you're setting yourself up to fail. Loosing wieght is all about eating right and excercise.

For the excercise, what I do is play a sport and run. You also need to do stretching and wieghts, but start with just cardio and stretching. And don't worry if your body hurts after stretching, as your flexibility increases- the pain will decrease. Especially if you feel pain the first time you do it- your body is just stiff, continue and it'll get fine.
Remember to always push yourself when you run, I play tennis so i run rounds around the court.

You never concentrate on people. That's a big flaw. Either concentrate on your energy when you have it in abundance or on the environmental factors when tired but never loose focus on the target. That's my theory atleast and works great for me.

Weight: 62 kgs
Height: 171cms

Vacation time so thought of shaping up my body. Can't go to gym coz I won't be able to continue after like 2 months coz of hostel. So I need a workout schedule. Need to work on my belly and chest. So any guy here who goes or has gone to gym can tell me what shld I do to shape up? What diet to take and stuff? Would be getting dumbles in like couple of days. Maybe two 5ers or 10ers. So suggest.

Listen to this carefully...

Your height, age and weight are Synchronised, not bad..
But location of weight in the body is a matter you have to look upon...

Probable areas are: Belly, Thighs, Butt, area around nipple(Chest to simplify), biceps area, and sometimes at calves too(if you are really lazy)

Stretching should be what you start with. Do all possible stretch excercise you can think of(without hurting yourslef) and 10 mins of initial pranayama will be really good(that butterfly step is a good stretchout).

Abdomen(Belly Workout)
1. Running: Will help you tune your lower abdomen. And thats where mostly fat is concentrated.

2. Sit/ups: Do sit-ups for upper 2/4 packs and leg raises for lower 2/4 and overall tuning.

3. Do crossover situps to tune side-abs. Its done by touching your left kneecap by your right elbow while doing thww conventional sit-ups. Will have a diagonal orientation.

Chest
Push-ups/Dips: Like you have seen in movies while army drills or sometimes John Abrahm. Using your two hands to lift your body from lying position to maximum in ground. Do in 15-12-10 reps.
When you keep your arms as far as you can manage doing push-ups, it will increaseyour overall frame.
When you keep it joined in the narrowest orientation, will help your triceps.
In the middle orientation, will increase the muscles onchest.

Thigh/Butt
Keep your arms at the back held with each other to help keep your back as straight as possible. The go to sitting postion like on a chair. Stay in that position for 15 secs. Repeat 10 times.
So Squats in reps of 50/30/15. Will feel really exhausted but dont give up. Keep you back really straight in these excercises.

Arms
Buy a middle sized barbell rod. (Wightlifting kind)
Buy 2x (5 pound, 10 pound, and 20 pound weights)
Dont buy dumbells, as they will make your both arms out of sync especially asyou are just starting out and dont have balance. Dumbells can be bought Later as they serve amny purposes.

Mind you buying dumbells or weights is not recommended as they cost a lot, unless you want to custom make it from some blacksmith.
Do the Usual Lifting in 20/15/10 reps.

With the above mentioned tools, you can workout each part of your body, provided you know how to. We cant tell you all as it needs to be seenand niether you can get all the material off the web and understand it, be it videos. You need to have preliminary knowledge to know how to workout well. For that you need a fitness instructor. U know you cannot learn by just asking or reading on the web. Not even videos help you really as much as a gym instructor. He is an expert on this and will suggest you excercises based on your body type(endo, meso, exomorphic) and will give you EVERY answer you need.

Phew man, this sucks, Just go to a gym and spare us :D.
Whts the price of a 2 month membership? should be around 2k.


I advise you to go to gym, strongly advise you to go to a gym.
The benefits are:
1. You will understand your body type and act accordingly.
2. You will understand all the excercise types and wll know what you can do what you cannot do and what you should do.
3. Youll feel confident in yourself.

Also Take enough food for the time being, you should not restrict food at all especially at your age and if you wanna work out. Though avoid chloestrol. And take leafy vegetables(all kinda "saag"s, cabbage, spinach). Take Pulses. Reduce your carb intake to 75% for time being and take it back to normal after you start workout regularly at gym(i suppose u will go to one now).

Andthe only reason people gain wieght even more after they end gym is because they dont control their eating habits. When not using energy, try not refuelling it all the time.:D

Bikalpa

PS: Go to gym, Hurry :p

@chirag. Where I stay, its 1k nepalese rupees for 3 months in a gud gym. Thats around 625 indian currency. A/C ones set u back by 1.2k inrs for 3 months. Though u get cheapest ones for as low as indian rs 120 per month, they are called iron gyms w/o carpet. Who cares, all u need is a workout. :p

@T159. Thnx.(i typed that from cell :D used no abbrv. as wanted it to look neat :) )
I recommend gym because they say half knowledge is dangerous. Once u get an idea n balance, u can buy wts n do it @ home itself. Not all wanna be arnold!

I said him not to buy wts earlier as here, gym is cheaper. And better than wts as u get a compulsion(like school) n inspiration to workout.

But even then what wouldnt change my advice. Go gym whenever u hav time. Make it a must do, make working out ur habit. When u go to hostel, u will know enuf to keep u maintained and when u come back, u cn join gym or buy wts(1 time invstment) n do it @ home.

No technique/Treatment is full proof to increase natural height. Mostly height is inherited.

For better eye vision .. (as already written) carrot, eggs, milk, 'palak' are good to consume.

For reducing weight .. running, trekking, swimming, skipping is effective, of course along with a proper diet .

For weight gain ... Sweets, Cheese, butter, Banana, rice, and all fried items (like samosa, papad, wada paw ..etc) and junk foods like burger, pizzas will help.
