Mate you just have to accept that for a guy who's 5'2", 175 is a decent weight.

angry marathon sex is my workout plan
fantastic info, see this is the stuff I simply don't know. Every time i've tried to read up on work-out stuff on the internet I always get the feeling people are trying to sell me ****, and I'm suspect of the information.
Manimal, thanks for that video, that looks totally do-able and a great place to start. DirtyMike I don't think you're an asshole (not for saying that, at least
) but that really does make a lot of sense.edit: is there any exercise that does the opposite of a situp? I feel like those muscles need strengthening.
Get a stability ball (think large beach ball) and do your exercises on that. Try doing push ups on a stability ball. If you could do 30 with ease, you might be able to get 15 on a stability ball. This will give you the core workout that you are craving. Also do rotational stuff while sitting on the stability ball, and try sit ups. Always fun.
If you're not sweaty and sore afterwards, you're not doing it right. Just make sure you use sturdy furniture.
An Asian wife is another option to consider...
I wear a number on my back and make people bring me cups of water to splash over me.
Add a foot and you see my problem.
Actually yes. There is a rack/chair made specifically for that. You can do either non supported situps<thatll git yer abs goin. or flip over hanging with your legs parralel to the ground and basically do a reverse situp. I like doing these with a set of ten pound dumbells, lift up then do a lat lift back in then back down.... Works friggin greatfantastic info, see this is the stuff I simply don't know.

Weirdo!
Congrats!!! I'm still trying to lose 10 and biking ain't doing it this year for some reason!
What did you do to lose that much?
I tried that too. Didn't help.leave out the exercise you twit.
Started with the HCG diet for 28 days, then went into a regular 1200 to 1800 a day of balanced eating, cardio work at the gym three to five times a week.......Congrats!!! I'm still trying to lose 10 and biking ain't doing it this year for some reason!
That's why I welded this bed up for myself...If you're not sweaty and sore afterwards, you're not doing it right. Just make sure you use sturdy furniture.
More beer is *clearly* the solution here.I tried that too. Didn't help.
Edit: or not, I'm about 6', 165#....
I'm down 45 pounds since last summer. 202 in August to 157 now. My normal weight is around 170, so I'm light these days. I decided I wanted to lose the extra pounds, and when I got down to 170 I decided to just keep going. My ride and run times certainly reflect the weight loss, not to mention my wardobe has basically doubled since I can fit into my old clothes again.
It's funny, the wife and I were in Costco not too long ago and bought a 40 pound bag of dog food. The bag was huge. So I picked it up and said "This is what I am not carrying around on my frame anymore."

Ya'll are a bunch of fatties. 5'9" and 155 and I'm the heaviest/fittest I've ever been. Do you really gain 30-60 lbs with an extra 6" of height? I know I'm on the shorter side but dayum... I couldn't imagine carrying around an extra 50lbs.
From the youtube comments section:
"i bet this guy has no and i mean NO problem getting his lawn mower to start."
As for the weight loss thing... I got lazy a few years ago, stopped riding etc. Then I got the bike bug again. Decided to go back to racing, and it has been all the motivation I've needed to stay in shape. 30 lbs off, and has stayed off for 2 years.

Im six one, and for me to be at 12 percent body fat I would be around 230, I carry a 44 in chest normally. When I say I am big boned and have alot of muscle mass already..... I mean it. shoulders are 49 cm's across, waste is a 36. Calves are 20 inches around........ so yeah sometimes six inches in height can make all the difference in the world
I know your idea of six inches is alot different than mine
HAHA...... Smart ass
