dude.. u can get weights cheap n easy.. but to get buff pushups won't do it.. RUN like MAD, and do about half the crunches u would do pushups.. that's what i'm doing right now, even though i'm able to get to the gym 2x a week. :D

Last summer to lose weight and gain strenghen I started to run a TON and do a lot of crunchs and a lot of pushups. I droped like 25 lbs and 5% body fat in 3 months. And I was a ton stronger and able to lift and run and all that more.

I just started taking Shotokan Karate on Monday, and lemme tell you, I feel stronger and more energetic already! The Sen-Pai told me that I'm not gonna get big n buff - but I am gonna gain muscle n get tones n lose a lot of body fat. He said in about 2 months I should notice results. I can't wait! Hey, you should take up Karate - any style will do. It's a beautiful art and you get in shape while you're at it!

ANNIE: I am in Dallas/Fort Worth Texas..... in the middle of the 2... Regarding "floating head" crunches, nah I don't care for em either, but they make good future neck patients! LOL.
Regarding Ahhnold and full sit ups....... he has had back problems for a long time (j/k... I really dunno if thas true).
Peace all.....

For Running, just make sure you stretch the quads ( Front thigh ) Hamstrings (back of the leg) hips, groin, back and calves.

www.ashanet.org/siliconvalley/ marathon/files/topten.pdf <--- has top ten running stretches

[quote]I've heard people mentioning running for getting buff. What does running do?[/quote]

Running + water gives you great muscle definition. The best weight trainers run to get "cuts," so they don't just look all bulky

hope that helps ;)
