How do you balance school hw, gym, and regular school hours? Because I want to get back working o9ut but im awful at getting hw done with enough time to actually get to the gym. But whats your schedule? and how do you do it?
I’m not currently in high school, but I began really lifting in my junior year. I’ll presume that your in school Monday to Friday from 8am to 3pm (ballpark figure, ha, no pun intended).
Let’s also say you need three hours every night for homework (that’s hopefully an overestimation), and let’s give a full hour to family-time dinner each night (have dinner with your folks. They’ll appreciate it.) That’s four hours of “stuff” to do once you’re out of school.
If possible, head straight to the gym right from school. That’ll help get it out of the way so nothing comes up. If Charlie says, “Hey CerealKiller, after school swing by my house for a marathon Rock Band session. You can be lead guitar.” Tough. You’ve got an appointment at the gym.
If Suzie says, “Hey CerealKiller, after school swing by my house to see my cheerleader routine. My parents are out of town.” Then you can skip the gym, because, dude, she’s a high school cheerleader.
I’d want you in the gym no more than three hours a week for now. A 30-40 minute full-body workout plus 10-15 minutes of cardio afterwards, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Bingo, bango. Saturday or Sunday you could do a 15-20 minute cardio workout at home.
When I first started, the gym I belonged to was open until 10 or 11 at night during the week. I’d get there around 8 or 9, after dinner. It wasn’t “ideal”, but it had to be done. On the plus side, it was never really crowded so I could do what I want without waiting, and I didn’t feel like the awkward newbie.
Nutrition-wise, Dan John has some ridiculously simple starting points:
-
Eat breakfast
-
Eat three meals a day, at least
-
Eat protein at every meal
-
Consume fiber at every meal
-
Take your fish oil capsules
Other common sense-ish stuff (like avoiding junk food and soda, not having a ton of calories or carbs right before bed, etc.) is also great advice, but absolutely implement these five immediately.
I am VERY good at baseball…
Im 6’2" 280. I need to get rid of this FAT.
No offense, but are you a catcher? I can’t imagine being that size and being “VERY good” at baseball.
But when i had my foot surgery
Surgery for what? Is it fully rehabbed? Do you have the doctor’s okay to be exercising?
I want to be 200 pounds in 6 months. Can that happen?
Sure it can happen, but it won’t be safe or healthy, and you’ll lose muscle which will further screw up your baseball performance. So, for all intents and purposes, let’s go with no, it actually can’t happen.
lately my knees have been hurting me, im almost pisitive it from the weight.
I’d bet it is. Lose weight and you’ll lose the pain (unless you’ve caused further damage).[/quote]
my foot is fine now. But when i was playing ball i was 230. But due to me being in a cast for 4 months+cruthes and rehab I gained a lot of weight. It was for bunion surgery. I have the full ok from the doc.
