Okay let's be clear first of all: I am NOT trying to get out of work or make things easy on myself. I just need to know the best way to go about doing this stuff. I've been losing weight pretty seriously for the last two months and have made a lot of progress that I don't want to lose.
So my questions are:
1. Do y'all have any daily (morning) workouts that you personally recommend? I've been using the My Fitness Coach on Wii because I'm that pathetic, but it's getting kind of old and sometimes I want to just be able to roll out of bed and work out right away instead of having to go all the way downstairs and turn the TV on and load the stupid Wii disk and fill up my water bottle and get hand weights out--it just takes too much time, especially at 5:45 am for someone who is not a morning person and could go to sleep standing up I'm so tired. So do you guys have any recommendations that either have personally worked for you or you think would be useful? Even just simple stuff like 20 push-ups, 50 squats, 30 crunches, etc. I've looked up some YT vids but all the "This workout takes no effort and will drop all your belly fat overnight!" workouts are total crap. I need real suggestions that will actually work.
2. How can I get better at doing push-ups? I know the simple answer is BY DOING THEM MORE OFTEN YOU MUTTONHEAD but I have been working on it for two months and I still can't do more than ten bent-leg push-ups at a time. I still can't even do one "real" push-up. Are there any upper body exercises with hand weights that would help out with that? I don't even know which muscles to exercise--biceps, triceps, shoulders, something else, all of the above? Help me out here.
3. Last one. How do I improve cardio? I'm pretty fit in my opinion (at least more than I have been), but for the life of me I just cannot do any kind of cardio. I live at the top of an 800-foot gravel hill and every now and then I walk down and then try to run back up but I can't get more than 50 feet before I have to stop because I can't breathe and I get horrible stitches in my side. Is there any way to fix that?
Sorry if these questions are hard to understand or answer, but if you can be any help, that would be awesome! Thanks for whatever you guys can do. -
For pushups you can try doing elevated ones. Find a tall sturdy box or whatever and put your hands on that instead of the floor. The taller it is, the easier. And then keep at it until you can eventually use a lower box or other item
