i recommend you do real exercises and not pushups because most people **** up their pushup form (judging by your 150 pushups figure im 100% sure your form is wrong) and end up permanently injuring their shoulders (you'll mostly feel it in the front) without knowing it.

Not really, I mean, I take 2 minute break every 20 push ups.

You said in the original post you wanted to lose weight, yet the only exercises you're doing are because you think it's going to make you gain muscle? Muscle is weight too, first of all. Second of all, the exercises you are doing aren't going build very much muscle, as the only resistance is your body (Hence why weights are used in gaining muscle, more resistance = more strain = more muscle tearing). Also, like Dusty & Crono pointed out, count calories. How I lost 40lbs in around 4 months was really simple: Started 200lbs (5' 8), 1600 Calories a day Alternate weights for one day, jogging the next, weights, jog, etc. 7 days a week. (Cheat days make no sense if you are serious about losing weight, in the end you're only cheating yourself.) End result: 160lbs (I'm now 173 or so, I got lazy ) The best way to figure out how many calories you should be eating in a day is figuring out your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). To calculate, use this website: https://tdeecalculator.net/ YOUR ACTIVITY LEVEL IS SEDENTARY!!! (If it wasn't you wouldn't be fat, I promise). Once you calculate, you'll get your maintenance calories (This is how much you should be eating in order to stay at the weight level you are currently). Typically, you want to subtract around 500-400 calories from this amount to figure out how much you should be eating in order to lose weight. Once you do that, you just need to exercise everyday for around half an hour, to a full hour. The best way to burn calories is to do cardio, as it burns the most calories (Running, swimming, hiking, climbing, anything that gets your heart BUMMMPIN). However, if all you do is cardio, you are going to lose muscle mass too, so it's a good idea to lift weights. This is the weightlifting video I used (Covers most of your upper body, since if you do uphill running like I did, your legs are already getting worked to hell) The weights you lift should be CHALLENGING! It shouldn't be easy, you should be sweating and truly having to push yourself to get those last few reps out near the end: This is the jogging/running regimen I followed (I altered this a bit, I would do run 1 min, walk 2 min, 10 times, for 30 minutes total, uphill. I never really wanted to get my endurance up, and the regimen I created for myself was challenging enough for me to still burn plenty of calories): If you want more in-depth information, this guide is what is stickied on 4chan's /fit/ and is what I used to gain my very shallow knowledge of calories and exercise to lose weight: http://liamrosen.com/fitness.html#part4 |

Push ups are fine to do, heres the proper form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dF1DOWzf20 just remember you should keep your elbows in not flared out and if you feel main in your joints you should stop. If you want to exercise with bodyweight exercises heres what I would recommend https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightf...mended_routine I started this program in October and ive been happy with the results. As for losing weight, calories in, calories out, simple as that. One simple tip is replacing all drinks with water. |
