How to get ripped and in shape?

A big part of building muscle is eating right. You need all that protein, carbs, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to repair your muscles after you work out. That means 6 small meals per day, or a meal every 3 hours. A portion of protein, carbs, and veggies is a must. \n\nDon't starve yourself, it's not safe and you can only do that for so long before your body rebels and forces you to eat.\n\nUse meal replacement drinks to help with your 6 small meals. I take 3 - 4 daily, and they're a great time saver. Plus, they already have all the protein and vitamins that I need, so I know I'm getting the right stuff in my body. Plus, by eating 6 meals a day, I rarely feel hungry.\n\nA good beginning book on eating right is called Eating for Life, by Bill Phillips. It will get you started, and has some good healthy recipes.

A good full body strength training workout 3 days a week would work (i.e.: lift weights). It doesn't have to be fancy. A cheap set of dumbbells from Wal-Mart would work great.\n\nAnd don't worry about getting too big and buff. Nobody "accidently" gets as big as a bodybuilder. It takes several years to get a body like that. Assuming you are not a vampire, I'm sure you have mirrors in you house. When you get to a point you like, and don't want to get any bigger, you just back off your routine to a maintenance mode. Do the same workout once a week.

How short? If under 3 months, ur out of luck. Just get on a diet (if not all ready) n run fer like 45 min. 4-5 times a day. There's another solution 2 get ripped abs in like 3 weeks, but it will cost u somewut alot. It's $49.99 + $10 of shippin n handin. It's not a fake, n all u need is a floor or a couch. Who said being n stayin fit was easy? (in this case, cheap) Go here for more details if your interested:http://www.mindnmuscle.com/abs/6-pack-abs-stomach.htm

Crunches, reverse crunches, weighted crunches. Have a healthy diet. Absorb enough protein to build muscle (Whey protein shakes help, especially if your diet sucks). Alternate with cardio every 2 days. Don't overwork yourself, it won't get you quicker results.\n\nVisit my source for some better research.\n\nWorks for me. Good luck.

It depends upon what your outcome is. Do you want to be really ripped and muscle bound. If so you need to isolate the muscle groups and do weights 5 times per week. \n\nIf you want lean muscle mass you need to do a combination of cardio and weights. Note that cardio is great for raising the hear rate and burning calories quickly. Weight is great for shaping the body. You don't burn high calories like you would with cardio but the difference is that you burn calories for 48 hours after you do the weights. \n\nIf you want to have more heavier muscles and be ripped note that you need to do the following: \n1) eat 6 small meals per day\n2) increase proteins & maintain carb intake & reduce fats\n3) you need to work on particular muscle groups at the one session not a combination. I would also be bored personally just doing weights 5 times per week only so for each muscle group I have given an example of cardio to include:\nMon = lower body & spin / Tues = upper body & boxing / Wed = Middle body & pilates / Thurs = lower body & running / Fri = upper body & pump\n\nIf you want lean muscle mass you need to follow the routine:\n1) reduce fats & increase protein low fat & reduce carbs\n2) do max. 6 sessions, 3 weights, 3 cardio. Do weights Mon, Wed, Fri do cardio Tues, Thurs, Sat. Complete a range of weights so you are blasting every muscle group each time. Cardio go hard till you are fatigued and can no longer continue. \n\nHope that helps!

Eat meat.  Youll need the protien to build muscle.  And work out your arms chest and back 2-3 times a week.  Do high wieght / low reps (Don't do too much or you will hurt yourself) .  This will build your muslce faster.  Low weight high reps will just tone you.  It is probably best you start on machines as well because they help you keep correct form and give you more control as far as the amount of resistance.  Try doing pushups with weights on your back(start low), and look into buying a small dumbbell set.

continue exercise, but when doing leg presses, use less weight and do more reps. Start running, but don't do 20 or 25min type hard runs, get to the point where you are doing 45 minutes to over an hour. What you are going to want to do is train yourself for distance, not strength. All that being said...it will be very hard. Relax. I think fit and muscular women are VERY attractive...and, if I think that...I am sure millions of other guys think that. Not that you want to look good for anyone other than yourself...but, maybe knowing that there are LOTS of people who would find you sexy will help. Also, don't give up meat or other proteins. That will hurt your whole body. Good luck.

funny, I'm going to work out right now.  NO, you don't have to dedicate every spare moment.  I do one hour or less per day, 5 or 6 days per week.  Even when working 6 12 hour shifts per week, I can manage.\n\n1. Stop eating crap.  By crap I mean fast food, restaurant food, fried food, most packaged snack food, and anything you think is crap.\n\n2. Eat this: chicken breast, turkey breast, tuna, and other fish.  Fruit and veg's obviously.  Also eat fiber one cereal, don't make excuses.  I'll give you some easy things to make if you're interested.\n\n3. Supplements, glutamine, very cheap, safe and good for you.  Whey protein after exercise.  men's multi-vitamin.\n\n75% of getting in shape is diet.\n\n4. exercise.  Weights, look in any mens fitness mag, look for beginner routine, upper body/lower body on alternate days.  \n\n5. Best exercise for overall fitness, jumprope, cheap, quick and effective.  it will absolutely suck at first, but trust me you will get in shape.  burns 3x the cals as running, and tightens entire body.  You won't do 5 minutes straight at first, but build up to 30 minutes over 6 months and you can't not be in shape.\n\n6 underachieve, don't do all this at once.  Clean up your diet, you'll feel better.  Exercise a little, you'll feel better.  You'll see results, you'll clean up diet more, you'll exercise more, it will snowball, don't force it at first.

It depends on your body type, cycle of training, and a lot of other factors. Usually, you'd cycle your workout and do heavy-low rep exercises early in your cycle to bulk up and concentrate on working the larger muscles. As you get closer to your peak, start doing lighter weights at higher reps to concentrate on sculpting the smaller muscles and pumping blood through the muscles. \nGetting ripped also involves diet and watching what types of calories (no/low carbs and sugars)you are taking.

Just because you are at a healthy weight(which you ARE), doesn't mean you are in shape. Try adding some aerobic exercises to your daily routine a few times a week. I'm certain you'll see a difference walking up the driveway in a month or so.

Lean?  okay then, Eat a LOT of protein foods (meats,nuts,eggs)and complex carbs such as bananas, whole wheat breads and other healthy foods.  This will help your muscles develop firmer and more flexible.  Drink a lot of water to hydrate soft tissue in your body.  Do stretching exercises to get oxygen into your muscles.  You WILL have to do some weight training  to develope muscles.  At home you can use store bought dumbbells or just use 1/2 full gallon jugs which are about 5 lbs each, or fill them for a ten pound weight.  The further from your body that you hold the weights, the heavier the work out for your body.

Seems like you have a fast metabolism like me.  I think your best bet is to begin lifting weights and eating lots of protein in order to put on a little muscle.

This really depends on your age and current state of fitness. But as a general guide you should\n\n1. Have aerobic exercise (walking briskly, running or bike riding) about 3 or 4 times a week, for at least 30 minutes. This can be at a gym or just out in nature.\n\n2. If you want to tone up your body do some light weights. You can buy sets of these or go to the gym. Do this about twice a week, starting slowly if you have never done it before. Work different musicle groups at each session. So, for example. work your legs, shoulders and tricepts on one session, and your bicepts, chest and stomach muscles on another.\n\nAlways listen to your body and don's overdo it. As you get more fitness you will be able to do more. \n\nFinally, remember to stretch after all exercise. There are plenty of charts to help you with that on the Internet.
