Hey LYN forumers...wanna get some tips from u guys~been scrolling someway through this thread but didnt reli see the kind of exercise that i want.

I am a 22 yo male, 173cm and 75kg. I'm alittle bit into the overweight region based on the BMI chart (suppose to be 68-69kg) and my waistline is 33. Been trying to lose weight for quite some time now and i did but its awfully little-to-near-none, i eat lesser, takes more vege...same same. I wanted to reach or at least somewhere around 68kg at least by next year march (2 months) - or at least when during cny, i can still look good in t-shirt(without my ball-belly showing up).

I read in somewhere that doing HiiT (Afterburn effect stuffs) can help alot. But the thing is, I dunno what should i do in HiiT? Anyone can help? And is there any other way to do it?

and just for ur information - I'm leaning toward creating a "cutting" type body - not the "bodybuilder's".

cutting - fit(some muscle here and there and lean abs)

thanks for reading and ur helps ya

can sifus here teach me how to calculate the food calories in a more accurate way?

I downloaded an Android app: MyFitnessPal, and use it record my daily meal intake, and for yesterday the total calorie intake for whole day was 1486 kCal. The target calorie per day is 2080 kCal, as determined by the app itself. I have jogged for 30 mins which burned about 140 kCal, after calculations, I still have 731 kCal remaining for yesterday.

but is that really, the food I took yesterday that low in calorie?

here was my meal yesterday:

breakfast: small portion of sticky rice + nescafe 3 in 1
lunch: meehon soup with pork + nescafe
dinner: mee goreng

snack: 3 seeds of durian + 1 cup of milo + 1 cup of milk at night

3 months right? i've been doing sit ups morning and night for a month already. hope will see result in 3 months. >.<

You can find a lot of video example from Youtube. Example here:

You can't depend on only Tabata/Hiit though, i usually use these workout on busy days where I don't have time for normal workout. Best to mix your workout.


Yup looking at the food you took it look like 1400+ calories. Counting calories wont be pinpoint accurate but main thing is that you keep track of your food intake, so at the end of the day you wont overeat. So after a while I don't worry so much about the number. If you feel ok with 1400 calories, that mean you don't feel that you overeaten or you don't feel too hungry then its ok.

erm, i dont get it. haha! basically it just a technique to lose body fats.thats all. hmm

funny scene from the app

Hi everybody! I need some advice

im a male, 1
height : 190cm
weight : currently 120kg

I am 18 years old, and it's been a while since i went to the gym and i rarely exercise.
But i do a lot of sports, i play basketball 2x 2 hours a week, and 2x 2 hour futsal.
I'm not very good at diets and my stamina totally sucks.
I plan on losing some weight (as much as I can) before february.

So, does anyone have any advice for me? I am hard working and i'm consistent so I am open to all ideas .

hmm, then i guess ur problem lies at the diet part.lol

Tabata is really intense if you did it the right way.

It will wear you out within 30mins usually.


Btw , it seems that people have to misconceptions of targeting area for fat loss.....

can i do other activity like squat, sit up, push up to achieve the same result?

let's say squat 20 sec > rest 10 sec > push up 20 sec > rest 10 sec > sit up 20 sec > repeat X3?

Will this work? sifu advice please.

Yes but you will be very tired


20sec fast / 10sec slow , repeat 8 times = 4mins

This is what I did few days ago.
1) Jumping Jacks
2) Alternate knee lifts (clapping/touching hands beneath knee)
3) Weight
4) Sit-up

This is what I reserve to keep things different, will change/swap/modify as it goes.
x) Push-up
x) Star Jump
x) Push-up --> Jumping jack
x) Punching (Horse-stunt, like in those kung-fu movies)

but i think sprint is even tougher than just push up, squat and sit up while they're using different group of muscle.

What are the things that inspired or make u feel nver giveup?

I lose weight but then after around 3 weeks i will stop..its like kenot tahan aledi and lazy..then i gain weight again T.T

It all comes to what you really want our of your body,

to look good, to be healthy, to be fit, to be strong;

is the above is desired then it had to be coupled with 4 Ds;

DESIRE; DETERMINATION; DEDICATION and DISCIPLINE

Basically that how I remind myself keep on moving;

further once get thru it, its passion that comes along with and the love of having you keep fit.

If I miss a day, I feel so bad, even on my rest day

I am 182 cm tall and 75KG only, yet still have tummy around

The feeling of success when you accomplished it



Last time I lost weight , then after slacking gain back

Now working god damn hard to reduce and stay fit for 2012

Height around 175+ , Weight around 105kg

by looking at my previous photos and on the mirror. the best motivations u ever had.
