man i got u bro im a workout/training fr33k
The first tip I can give you, is to stop li-
stop listening to tyler the creator
yeah that
Second tip: get into a habit of doing a basic workout routine and stretches soon after you wake up, ie a few pushups and crunches, and add more reps as it becomes easier
Tip 3: set up a great workout playlist on your mp3/ipod/whatever mobile music player you have; find music that makes you want to move and/or will motivate you. This should be easy b/c you spend a lot of time sitting at a computer anyway, this kind of gives you a guiltless reason to do it for a while anyway, and helps you ease out of not spending so much time in front of a screen
Tip 4: figure out your somatotype using this:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=137136643it will describe how you can optimize your workouts(particularly weightlifting/bodybuilding) based on which type fits you best. Despite the clustered layout, I like this resource a lot, because it is one of the few that doesn't describe ectos as weak and skinny, endos as fat and lazy, and mesos as perfect elites, because that's all false
Tip 5: just find out what you like to do(soccer, distance running, lifting, martial arts, biking, etc). Try anything and everything, if you find something to do that you enjoy then you'll never have that "ugh I have to workout/train" attitude
Tip 6: don't tell yourself "
You can do it," tell yourself "
I can do it." Doesn't sound like it will help much, but for endurance things like distance running it makes a big difference
Tip 7: in order to gain muscle mass you need a lot of both protein
and calories mixed with consistent training
Tip 8: make and complete many small yet reasonably challenging goals
Tip 9: ignore the haters
Tip 10: muscle milk
