Right now i am the starting center on my varsity basketball team, however i am not in the condition that i would like to be at. Not as far as my strength and physical shape but in respect to my aerobic, running shape and that i get winded after only about 4-6 minutes in the game. I have a few schools interested in me but my coaches say that my inability to stay in the game for very long is the main reason why i have not attracted even more interest. If anyone can give me any suggestions or advice it will be greatly appreciated. I need to get into the best shape i can as soon as possible since the season is obviously already underway. Also, please give your opinion on this routine that i was thinking about to get back into shape. All of these would take place either during my one hour study hall or if they would take a little longer i would come before school. Mon) either jump rope and the ladder or run a couple of miles on the track. Tues) laps in the school pool (unless we have a game) Wed) 100m wind sprints Thur) either a mile on the track (with sprints, slides, bounds, quick feet, reverse running, and other exercises mixed in) or strength shoes on the track. Fri) rest (game day)

I’ve been working out (anaerobic and aerobic) for about 6 months now. Yes, I did at first get a little stronger, but not as much as I think I should. I’m 18, prime age for fitness, and I work out hard 3-4 times a week. I typically do various workouts, and do 2 sets of 10 reps. For example. Many of the machines at the gym I use are freewight/machine hybrids, and the machines that work the arms, you put weights for each arm (say, 45lbs for the left and the right) instead of those machines that use the pin, which favors a more dominant arm. With that being said, I’ve been doing 2 sets of 10 reps, using 45lbs, for about 4 months now. Typically, I know that a normal person would either be able to increase the weight, or increase the sets after a week or two. This is not my case, as I’m still stuck on 2 sets of 10 reps. I even tried using straight up free-weights, but I haven’t been able to curl more then 2 sets of 10 reps with a 30lb weight for about a month now (35 gets impossible for me around rep 7-8). I suppose the best example i could provide to this is that, around January, I managed my first pull up, this was about a month after I started working out all the time, It’s now the end of August, and I might be able to do 2-3 pullups on a good day. I understand building muscle is not a fast process at all, but I’m still worried I’m doing something in the least efficient way possible. I eat a good diet, breakfast being the largest (dinner the smallest), and there’s LOTS of protein to go around. Am I doing something wrong? I work the same muscle with 4-5 different exercises, and the odd thing is, I’m getting more toned (mainly the arms), but I’m still quite frustrated at the fact that I’m not seeing any real improvement strength wise. Can anyone give any ideas on the situation?(P. S, besides the typical “on a treadmill for an hour” routine, is there an intense excise that can help me get rid of that last little bit of fat?)

Hi guys, I did best I could to answer them, but there is one question that I am confused. So can you help me with these questions? If you could tell me if my answers are correct, and the answer for the one I left blank. You don?t have to answer all. Just answer ones u know for sure. Thank you?Matchinga. ethanolb. pyruvatec. lactated. citratee. acetaldehydeI think C? This compound is an end product of anaerobic respiration in exercising muscle. I think E? This compound is an intermediate product of alcoholic fermentation, but not lactate fermentation. BLANK This compound is produced by fast-twitch muscle fibers. I think B? This compound is the end product of glycolysis. I think B? This compound is utilized in alcoholic fermentation and lactate fermentation. Use the five processes listed for the following questions. a. glycolysisb. aerobic respirationc. anaerobic electron transferd. alcoholic fermentatione. lactate fermentationI think D? In this process, the net energy yield is equal to two molecules of ATP and the final product is ethanol. I think B? This process involves electron transfer phosphorylation. I think B? This process yields the most energy. I think E? In this one-step process, the final product is lactate. I think A? This process precedes the Krebs cycle.

So i have extra 22 pounds than i should normally have, but I’m tall so i seem really fit. Anyways since I don’t really understand difference between pilates-yoga-aerobic or anythings else i used some Cindy Crawford Shape your body cd. I worked out for 3 months then stopped. Now i really wanna know what is best for losing weight, having a flat stomach, shortly being hot? I hate running, and whenever i try i barely can breath no matter how short i exercised, and my doctor said its not good for me. So I’m up to anything else. Thank you.
