yeah i forgot to say, i cant ran to much. I was running for like a month, a mile a day. and my knees started hurting really bad after a week, i thought i would get used to it but i didn't. I guess setting tile all day, then going home and run killed my knees. lol. im not a expert, but i dont think 6 packs are made in the kitchen, my bro eats like 70% fast food. is skinny as ****. and a couple of more people i know also.
So if it aint made in the kitchen, then why is your bro so skinny? They have a different body than you. A different metabolism. Some people can EAT ALL DAY LONG...and not gain a lb. Others can eat just a little...and gain a ton.
Point is this, you cant use your brothers non-chalant eating habits as excuses for why you shouldnt do something different. Your body requires different things. Sure keep eating fast food like him, and try to work out. Your results will not be anything special. Your working out will be wiped out by your eating habits. You got guys sitting here telling you that a simple thing as not drinking pop and drink water has made big changes....but u think that eating that crap at fast food places wont? Come on...get real.
And your brothers habits will catch up to him one day. Eating that crap all the time like he is will be terrible for his body...whether or not he can see it today or not.
The point is this. Everyone has said the same thing. You want changes....so YOUR LIFE has to change. Quit making up excuses or reasons for why something wont. THe more you do that...the bigger your stomach and chest will get. Then u'll have stangnet guys sending you bras in the mail
But seriously man, i have the same problem...dont know how bad yours is...mine isnt bad at all. But it aint where i would like it to be. But with my engineering class load, its hard to have a consistant schedule set out for working out. I've been trying to watch what i eat...and to drink water...and to work out when i can.
Oprah had a quote that i absolutely love.....
"You cant become who you want to be by remaining who you are."
Put up or shut up. Go out and try something...anything. Once you see results you'll be hooked.
And if you knees wont allow any running...try going to a fitness center that has those non-impact running machines. Or try running in grass...or maybe a track. Or spend the dime on a really good set of shoes. I know how it feels to have bad knees trust me...it sucks balls but u gotta get around it. Cause when it comes down to it, running can help a ton. Or go ride a bike...but ride for 2-3 if not more times the distance u would run. Depending on the roads, biking can be extremely exhausting. Swimming is great too. There are a ton of things u can try man. Just gotta get some dedication. Most of these guys are speaking from experience...so listen to them. You really arent in the position to say something is wrong. People have different ideas because different crap works for different people. Now go out and try something. Atleast start doing push ups and sit ups every night before u sleep or when u wake up. Get those muscles active again. Even if u cant get the fat off right away, the muscles will be getting worked.
