and burn fat....

Hello,

I am wondering which sport will build my body in general and the fastest way.

My muscles are growing quite fast, it doesn't take too long. I want to go back in shape but I need to see results quickly 'cause I know I'll lose my motivation.

Swimming, Jogging, cycling?

To all the sports experts on this forum, I'll appreciate your advises.

Not you again
All round muscle building would involve lifting weights if you are after this look No fast results when it comes to health.

Yes , meeeee again!

Ewwwww!

No, I just want to lose the fat and build a bit of muscle. I always been sportive and the muscles are there, they just need to come out from under the fat.

Are you sure that isn't photoshopped?

Err, thanks, I think,
Brian.

I am no fitness fanatic.

To have a normal body I would no bother with weights and I wouldn't go to gyms on those daft running machines etc. and keep the dosh you save for a holiday and to buy chocolates

I would stick to swimming and cycling and walking but at a high pace.

Cycling does wonder for the abdominals and buttocks and even your arms when you are pulling on the handle bars. Once you get into cycling; try and get toe straps because you will tone up even more muscles and get to places faster and last longer.

Swimming is another great exercice because you don't feel the strain on the muscles so much until you finsh because the weight has been taken off you in the water and you don't notice that you are sweeatting so don't slow the pace so much.

Walking Fast try and find stairs and hills to walk up as well and then relax walking down.

These exercises will give you all round fitness and are useful for everyday life and you won't look like a freak.

Try fencing. I gained 6kg in four months. Loved it!

i don't know but since i started training capoeira my muscles got mad strong.
ashtanga yoga (if available) will help strength and flexibility too. it's not the just the relaxing thing most people think of when they think of yoga

but i think it depends what muscles you wanna build up or tone.

Read somewhere that sex is the best form of exercise.....

Yoga is brilliant for flexibility and breathing exercises and helps posture.

I also recommend Alexander technique when you want to relax and do nothing for body posture.

Posture appears to be a real problem now a days. As a male I see a lot of attractive females but then they let themmselves down by the way they carry (dragging their feet/legs) themselves and posture (curved slouched shoulders).

Tone my butt, my tighs, my stomach and my arms.

I don't care if I take weight on the scale, I care of losing cm on my butt, waist, arms and legs.

amen brotha. i seriously "grew" 2 inches after i started to practice yoga regularly.

for a*s toning- come visit us in lausanne. there's a helluva hill that will put everything nicely into place !

I would suggest you share the scales when weighing yourself with somebody then

Oh, and I am back on drinking 2 liters of water per day. Gosh, I go to the bathroom all the time and I am so bloathed (I know, I know, Thanks to share!) I feel I have water stocking in my whole body up to my ears!!!!

No; you swim in the swimming pool you do not drink it.

what you want is Bodypump. exactly what you're looking for.
Have you joined a gym yet? They have it in both Fitorama and Fitnessplus in Basel

True muscle building comes from pushing different sets of muscles to their limit, yet giving each of them a few days to recover, and taking in more calories than you would otherwise waste. You need to keep the body guessing.

Squats are incredible effective, one of the best ways to burn fat and build muscle as it caused almost all of your major muscles to be used. Whilst you might concentrate more effort into you arms on a Monday, your belly on a Wednesday, and then your chest on a Friday, it helps to mix in 3 reps of 5 squats every time you workout.

But for true fat burning you need cardio.

oh... I hate gym. I tried, many times, I swear!

I want to.......... I have the motivation but after 2-3 times at the gym, I am bored as hell and I quit.

So I promised myself this time, no gym, I need the real thing who'll make me going and keep my motivation.

If building muscle is really what you're after, weight training is one of the best ways — and it doesn't mean you have to end up looking like a body builder. Other exercise methods with lots of repetition build more muscle stamina than muscle tissue (volume). With weight training, you can isolate the muscles/muscle groups you want to build up, and customize a routine to focus on them, using s-l-o-w reps (and fewer of them) with challenging loads (e.g., not 100 curls @ 2.5kg, but 10 s-l-o-w and graceful curls @ 10kg).

An example

I am already doing this since months without using weight but just my own body. Lifting my leg 25x3 times in slow motion. Lifting my bottom from the ground 25x3, etc. I feel and see the ''cut'' of my muscles but I have still this layer of fat. So I am guessing I should go for cardio?
