Lucian, to prove to you that I am a benevolent god and a deity most wise, I'm going to impart on you the two problems I have encountered when people ask my why their work out fails.

1. Diet. DO NOT DIET! Jesus Christ, we're all in the prime of our life, we do not need to diet. Barring any serious genetic diseases, obesity is caused by lack of activity. A lot of times people diet to the point and barely eat, and then work out like fiends, and then wonder why they are still as weak as ever. Your body assaults your muscle right after your fat, so if you're not taking in much of anything, you'll lose your fat AND you'll lose your muscle. Don't diet. Eat what you eat now, just add a healthy workout regimen to it.

2. The Brightly Burning Star. You know what the problem with brightly burning stars is? They shine in magnificence early on, but lose energy quickly and die out fast. That's what most people do when they work out. They get amped to the point of motivating themselves to get off their asses, and they work out crazy hard for, perhaps, 2 weeks. Then when week 3 rolls around, they realize they haven't seen much improvement (it's a slow process) and they're sore as hell, so they give up. The best ways to fix this problem are: pace yourself and get a buddy.

Do you know how easy it is to say "fuck it" to a work out? Very easily. In fact, I had to do a 3 hour work out today that I didn't do because I have shit to do later (5pm) and I had no one to motivate me to get out of my bed at 10am so I'd have the allotted time. I have a 30 day work out plan that is now the 31 day work out plan because I had to push today's back to tomorrow. Fortunately for me, I have a good sense of personal motivation, but that was instilled in me by my buddies who usually work out with me.

And pace yourself is self-explanatory. Don't go trying to lift 500 pounds, you can't. you sound like you'll be lucky to lift the bar (which weighs 45 pounds on it's own). That's fine. I started there. Everyone starts there. Barring steroids, it takes a long time to be able to lift 300 pounds (which I can't do, nor do have any desire to).

Just balance cardio with lifting, one day cardio, one day lift, one day cardio, on day lift (different muscle groups).

There are basic fitness sites that give you muscle groups that you can work out at once. Ex. Back and bis, abs and tris, and what not. I don't know, I seldom pay attention to them.

My statement is pretty much the same as Odin. Except, I think the stripping part was idiotic as well.

idk, diets are fine with me, like diets that incorporate a shit load of food that have good carbohydrates in them.

I do eat McDonalds and I am one of the thinnest members on ARG and am in great health. And what, pray tell, does auto-fellatio have to do with anything?

But I don't know anything about life? This from the girl who believes that weight loss comes from stripping. Yes, quite. Might you give some examples on why I know nothing pertaining to the subject of life. Unless, of course, you meant the board game... in which case, you may be correct that I know nothing about it.

It's wrong, you say? So, I take it that they've finally established the universal code of ethics that we've all been waiting for? Intriguing.
