As title, what is ur favorite exercise??
Maybe nowadays u don't do cardio exercises, what is the exercises u do during
your teens, other than Body Builiding.
What benefits u gain like for example previously, u r astma patients, but u r free of this disease afeter 3 years of swimming. Or become bigger & stronger fr the exercsies??[FONT=Arial]
During my teens? Nothing but weights and pushups. When I was younger I had a slight build and everyone kept telling me I was "weak" and should not exert myself. So I thought screw all that I'm going to do the opposite and bulk myself up.
Ten years on the results have stayed and I maintain a fairly lean figure (daily pushups and dumbbells). Only in recent years did I pick up actual outdoor activities. It's not much... I jog 5km once per week (non-stop) and once in a month or so I swim. Every morning (except Sundays) I will do 30-40 pushups.
Too bad KL sucks in terms of good publicly accessible swimming pools, or else I'd swim more often (few times a week). By "good" pools I mean those that allow you 25-50 metres of lap swims with a deep end (at least 2 metres) because I like diving also.
I can tell many fitness buffs out there will be laughing at this. My (eventual) goal would be to be able to do 10km non-stop jogs and 20 non-stop swim laps. And do them at least 3 times per week. But right now it's all a daydream.
Health benefits? Hard to say, perhaps it's harder for me to catch colds these days. I was slightly asthmatic during my primary school days but now I rarely ever cough. Stamina has increased a bit, but not much since I'm not exercising regularly enough.
