Check out the links on the 'conditioning' section. The 2nd link about try drill #7 is probably most applicable for you.

For Pete's sake, please at least try googling first before dumping the stupid emoticons in your post.

And your question is more like a rambling. Everyone hates rambling, non-sensical, lazy questions.
Please be more specific in your question. E.g.: what do you want to know, how to achieve them, where can you find the links or articles about your topics, etc...

Depends on wat u eat, preferably low in carbs and some fats and protein. Most probably u will be doing fine. Eg. 100 - 200g of chicken or milk + whey etc and take some fish oil.

I know eating loads of peanuts can cause acne. I should know, I'm one of them.

Also, have you seen a lot of fat people with acne?

No one's an expert here.

Yes. Dips make my chest sore. I think it's a great exercise.

Steady state cardio makes your heart & lung smaller so that it is more efficient and uses less energy when you run/cycle.

Well, at least that's what the article said. Read it, and lets flame each other over it!

what if i jog and im a smoker? can help to fix my lung ka? hahaha.. btw, any effect of smoking to habit to muscle? i think i will just affect our fitness.

Awesome article. But the quote u have up there didnt end with "but it gives up the ability to provide you with big bursts of energy for short periods. Far from protecting your heart, this loss makes you more vulnerable to a heart attack." hehe.

And the thredmill part seems like it makes one clumsier instead of fulfilling the goal of fitness for being more alert/better reflex thou.

Good post buddy.

Will add to link-o-rama. Actually, I'm looking for people who might want to dispute the article, and discuss it a bit. =)

Anyway,
Yeah, the first time I tried the treadmill, I hated it. I literally crashed on the ground (real solid ground) when I tried to walk after running on it.

It totally messed up my walking/running pattern. And the 2nd time I tried it, it happened again. And I've seen it happen to first time treadmill users quite a few times now.

In real running, you actually have to push your own weight forward. Which means there's a change in momentum at all times. Running on a treadmill has no forward momentum. It's basically jumping up and down with the legs swinging.

Seriously, given a choice I'd ban treadmills. It should be used for walking rehab purposes only.

Sorry dude, jogging doesn't fix your lungs. You either quit smoking, or you just have to suffer great pain (financially and physically) in the future.

And yes, it affects your muscles. What do you think contributes to your fitness? The muscles lah! Actually, it affects everything.

Now somebody has to post a link refuting this and we'll have an actual war...

Anyway, in most running/cycling programmes they always include a session of intense workout ie; a short burst of energy run like 100m, 200m sprints etc.
So most serious runners/cyclists do intervals very often too. The benefits are like some stated in the article and others.

Yeah thats very true on the treadmills stuff, it is different from normal jogging stuff. This reminds me of the stuff that my martial art instructor told me. It was on a diff context but somehow it relates to this topic. He was saying, how do u instruct a person to walk? (as in a sequence of movement to move ur body forward) then nobody ans as sometime we are too used to it and often neglected small elements. So he explain, first we need to move our left/right leg forward and follow by transferring our body weight to that particular leg, then follow by moving the oth leg forward and transfer the weight to it and so on. So put it to the treadmill stuff, as u mention, it is just jumping, YES TOTALLY, the other leg is just being pull back mechanically, we dont push our bodyweight to the front.

how much does a barbell cost? without the weights
