But I'm just not skinny I'm extremely out of shape, to the point of running a little bit leaves me breathing heavily and light headed.

    1) take up a (real) martial art
    2) jog
    3) play DDR
    4) lift weights

    Those are just three that leapt quickly to mind. I don't recommend #2; it's boring.

    Ain't nothing wrong with being skinny. Focus on toning up muscle - even a morning regimen of pushups and situps will do wonders for your shoulders and abs, respectively. Frankly, I know a lot of women who really dig the "lean but fit" look over the musclebound meathead look.

    I don't want to look like a meatbag, but I want to stop looking like a skeleton, which is bad.

    Basically, eat healthy. None of these crappy protein shakes. It's really not difficult to eat healthy at all. Don't eat canned foods, avoid "premade" foods, etc... Go for fresh meat, fresh fruits, fresh veggies...

    If you buy flour, eggs, milk and butter, there are tons of things that you can make. Buy baking powder and you can make biscuits. Buy yeast and you can make bread. You can also make your own pasta and pizza, rather than buying it packaged or ordering out.

    Also, exercise. Build up some muscle. What you want to do is build muscle, not fat. Increase your fat intake if you find yourself getting tired in a very short time, while exercising.

    One more thing that I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH. <b>DRINK WATER.</b> <i>Lots</i> of water. You need water more than you need anything. I have at least a gallon of water a day, usually more. Though most recommend at least eight glasses. I'm drinking water almost constantly throughout the day. Contrary to popular belief, most people are dehydrated. Next time you're in the bathroom, look at the colour of your urine. If it's anything other than clear, you're dehydrated.

    The vague and totally lacking depth of your post has helped me greatly. Don't post again.

    Bike, swim, walk (Don't jog or run, it puts unnecessary strain on the ankles) weight lift... Anything. Do push-ups, pull-ups, crunches. You don't necessarily need to be big and muscly, but they will all help you get some muscle.
  • DeMoKiLLDeMoKiLL Join Date: 2004-01-04 Member: 25033Members
    lol sorry, I don't work out much;-) but, I would say just do stuff, just like go in a gym, work on different things and keep working your way up to higher weights, for stomach fat I would seriously consider ddr <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> its addictive, fun as hell, and you get an amazing workout, Im a maniac! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Exercise late at night while watching TV. Keeps you entertained while you do sit-ups, with the added bonus that anything late at night is hilarious when your mentally and physically tired.

    swimming is also very good, you can get great definition by swimming alot, if your in highschool or college join a swim team, if your out of high school and college then just go down to your nearest ymca or community pool and swim laps

    Here - do as many pushups as you can in one burst, wait about 10 minutes, repeat.

    One you do that, just hold the pushup position until your abs give out.

    If you do it right you'll really feel it. i dunno how many times you should do it, i'd do it every 2-3 days.
