If you want to improve your IM start exercising. (it worked for me)

• Start by doing xx pushups before you start your computer.
• Set the timer for 20 min and do another xx.

Start out slowly but you'll be amazed by 2 things.

1. How quick that timer rings.
2. How energized you'll feel.

Remember it doesn't take that much time. It takes discipline.
If fact I used to have my Blackberry programmed to remind/motivate me.

Here is my schedule: These numbers didn't happen overnight. I built myself up to it.

• Monday: 200 pushups (10 sets of 20 pushups)
• Tuesday: 100 chinups (10 sets of 10 chinups)
• Wednesday: rest
• Thursday: 200 pushups (10 sets of 20 pushups)
• Friday: 100 chinups (10 sets of 10 chinups)
• Satureday: rest
• Sunday: rest

Remember it doesn't have to be pushups or chinups. Just something that will cause your heart rate to increase which will supply your brain with more "energy" to make money online....

There's an interesting idea. I will do that.

In all that you do, know your True INTENT...

chambmw

that's a very good plan. I find push ups pretty hard to do, especially if you do them the correct way, all the way down and up. When i'm on the comp I do get pretty lazy.. so i do need to generate some energy somehow to push myself to do these type of exercise. The 20 minute intervals might work for me i'll try that tonight.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do.

Nice idea. I do exercises regularly but i don't do pushups. I just try to do some other exercises to keep myself fit and to maintain my body texture. I walk 30-45 minutes daily as well and that is the most important thing to do specially before dinner or early in the morning on a clean grass
I am a full time internet worker so i spend more thn 12+ hours on pc so that is the main problem with me because i am now getting a fat belly so just trying to control it before its too late
Thanks

Great question. I exercise daily. It definitely helps me out. You have a great system. I have to do in the morning and sometimes in the evening (before I am consumed w/ the business day). I do stretch while working on the net (relieves some stress).

Interesting! I do 200 pushups per day. 100 in the morning when I wake up, and 100 before I sleep.

runfast

Do you do it all at once? That is very hard. I used do to that but not anymore....
Ever tried doing this? I have 2 litte girls ages 5 and 3. I like to do 10 pushups with them on my back. I figure if I do this every day till they turn 18 years old I should be pretty tough.... Of course, my wife says it won't be long till they think that it's not fun anymore.

Keep it up! Exercising physically and mentally will avoid a lot of headaches later in life.

You guys have inspired me to start exercising. My doctor even recommended it even though I'm not overweight or anything, but is good for your overall health.

I walk for an hour every morning and strength train 3 or 4 times a week. Right now I do The Firm programs but would will be changing over to the P90X program soon.

Tyrus Antas

I run for 2 miles, 3 times a week. Before I used to do some strength training in between but have been slacking recently...

Tyrus

Kesh247

haha... that sounds good runfast. You'll be pretty strong and tough by the time they turn 18.

I do 100 pushups at once with my hands apart in the morning (works chest and shoulders secondary), and I do 100 pushups with both thumbs touching each other at night (work chest and biceps).

Sometimes, I use two 3kg dumbells... a bit harder but you get maximum results.

Raiel Schwartz

Keeping fit and active is VERY important to your productivity.

People may not see it, but without your body optimized, everything that you try to do with it will be sluggished. Spending an hour or 2 a day exercising may seem like "wasted time" but it may lead up to 10+ hours of more productivity then without the benefits that come from a healthy body.

Also remember, you are what you eat, it's important to fuel your body with good healthy foods instead of sugary processed garbage.

It's a good idea to get out of your chair and do something every 15-30 minutes to prevent back pain, whether it be stretching, push-ups, chin-ups, walking, dancing etc.

ConcordeWarrior

I do not own a car. I walk to everywhere I go and use Public Transport to everywhere distant. All kinds of public transport, bus, boat, rail and air.

I walk a lot. I used to run long distances but my frail health does not allow me to do it at the moment. I used to sail and even race boats but I don't go out sailing/racing with the sailing club at the moment for the same reason.

No TV in my place. Only one computer and books so no danger of becoming a couch potato.

I am a full vegetarian. No fast foods or anything GM. I buy from open air markets and from small production only. I avoid industrial and large chain supermarkets. Never smoked. I avoid prescription and other drugs.

I can't always buy organic food as it costs too much in my part of the world.

michellegreen

My hubby is a personal trainer so starting tomorrow he and I are going on a "Fat loss frenzy"!!

This will involve eating the right foods, and exercising three times a week.

Now that I work full time from home, I will actually have the time to exercise, which will be lovely!

I picked up the Ultimate New York Body Plan by David Kirsch and
he details the fastest way to lose weight and it's pretty intense.

It's using weights, a stability ball and medicine ball...cardio strength
training for 45 min and then a cardio workout for 45min.

You've got to set aside 1 1/2 hours to see results and work out every
day. I start tomorrow! If nothing else I'll simply feel better!

runfast

Remember Commitment comes before Equipment. Don't buy books, weights, and etc. till you are committed to follow through. Setup a checklist/chart by your computer and follow it. Keep it simple and start slowly. If you follow through then go out and buy that book.
My wife bought me the Perfect Pushup after over a year of watching me do pushup using dumb bells as handles. It meant a lot to me because I was committed to doing it and she got something to keep me inspired to keep going.

Good Luck to those that are starting out...exercise is a good habit to have but one of the hardest ones to maintain.

I don't have a TV or radio either...I even live in America. I too don't smoke or drink.
As for vegetarian...sorry I loved to eat my home cooked meals with loads of meat. I only eat out to give my wife a break from cooking all the time.

About 8 months ago I started a program where I do weight training 3 times per week and cardio 3 times per week. I do extra ab work on the weight training day in the evenings. My workouts are first thing in the morning.

I'm more productive and have more energy. I highly recommend exercise to everyone!

I just went 3 miles on the Treadmill, just so I could come upstairs and answer "Yes".

PLRwithAlex, what does your weightlifting program look like?

clubvikram

Thats a good thread started,i run for 3 kms every day and do three sets of push ups by keeping my hands apart.first one 22 repeats,second one again 22 repeats and last one 15 repeats.

Will some body guide me on what should be ideal interval between two sets and what are the exact benefits of push ups?If some body could throw some light on different types of push ups and how they benefit us would be great!

tanya7zhou

I will surely mention an Exercise Ball. It cost roughly $10 to own and you can do so many exercises for different parts of your body using only one $10 or less ball.

I usually visit YouTube to find new videos. Many people are coming out with new ways of using an exercise ball. That thing is useful.

So go ahead guys, If you don't have your ball, buy it. It is easy to use and works wonders

Exercises is very important when you work from home on the computer for a great part of the day. I run a hour 5-7 times per week just to keep my blood pumping right. When you are stagnate for most of the day it is even more important that you exercise. 20 minutes minimum per day will do a lot for you physically.

I get what you are saying but I am not sure I fully agree. When I decided to get into shape (still a ways to go LOL) I knew I needed forcing functions to help keep me committed. I went out and signed up for a year membership at a local gym. Knowing $50/month was coming out of my bank account helps me make sure I use it.

Now that might not be sound advice for everyone but it helped me.

I now work out pretty much daily - I am on a 4 day split:

Day One: Back and Bi's
Day Two: Chest and Tri's
Day Three: Thighs and Hamstrings
Day Four: Shoulders, Abs and Calves

I take one day off after a 4 day cycle and repeat. Feeling the best I have in years.

Teddy, I agree getting a membership is a good way to start a commitment but I know of too many people who get the membership and don't follow through. Might as well save your money...

At Gold's Gym, it costs $20/month for anyone 18 and younger. Once you turn 19, It costs $52/month. (varies per location)

I like your workout plan.

Pushups:
Hands placed wide apart builds the chest
Hands placed close together builds triceps
I place my hands just outside my shoulders
Others have said that I have perfect six pack abs... Guess what? I never do situps. I can only guess that I got this by doing chin-ups and pushup alone. So I think that doing pushups/chinup exercises your whole upper body. As for your legs...run...runfast...

Yeah good point - it really is about the individual. For me it worked because I obsess over paying for something I don't use. For others it may not help.

Great post because in the chess for $$ sometime we forget the other side of life that drives everything - our health, spirituality, diet, emotions and relationships.

I exercise regularly but wasn't as structured. It's a great idea I will take up. On the list, I would add stretching which is critical as you do strength training and the like. By the way, chin ups are great for an internet marketer since your back gets strengthened. That's critical when you are sitting on the computer for a long time.

I usually run for around 1 mile. I have noticed that taking a walk first to warm up my muscles for around 10 minutes is very useful. I run. And then cool down by taking a walk for around 5 to 10 minutes. Finally some stretching exercises.

I do something similar to this. Everytime I start-up my computer or do anything where I'm left waiting for a couple of minutes I do -

20 squats
20 sits ups
20 push ups

It's good to get some exercise in to let off some steam and improve focus.

I workout regularly and have many friends involved in sports conditioning. I'm a three year subscriber to Men's Health. Here is some advice to people interested in getting fit:

1. It's 70% Diet, 30% Exercise. The two are perpetual and rely on eachother to achieve ANY goals, whether that be muscle gain or fat loss.

2. Drink plenty of water. This is fundamental in staying healthy. TIP: An ice-cold glass of water in the morning will kick-start your metabolism. Your body has to work harder to warm it up and regulate your body temperature.

3. Optimum food portions should be a mix of protein, carbs and fiber - a fist-size of each is about right.

4. You should aim for at least three colors on your plate for every meal.

5. Diet Coke contains Aspartame, regular Coke is the only 'Coca-Cola' beverage that does not. Don't be another one fooled by "diet". Your children are at huge risk if they are consuming aspartame all the time. Google it, and then read it again.

6. Eat SMALLER portions, more REGULARLY. Aim for 5-6 small meals a day. Why? You want to keep your metabolism burning. Picture a log fire. Throw all of the wood (food) in at once and it will burn slow, eventually dying out. Throw smaller bits of wood (food) in at regular intervals and that fire (your metabolism) will keep on burning the fuel (fat).

7. Skipping meals is a no-go. You don't 'save' on calories, rather your brain signals to your body that you are not receiving food. The next step? Fat storage AKA survival mode.

8. HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is your best friend for keeping a strong mentality, a fit physique and a healthy heart. Try finding a football field - Stand at the goal line, sprint to the half-way line. Jog back to where you started from. Sprint to the opposite goal line (or give it your best shot). Jog back to the start. Repeat.

9. Green Tea and Coffee give your metabolism a temporary boost. As does chili.

10. Replace White, starchy carbs (white bread, white rice, white pasta) with wholewheat, or 'brown' alternatives. Less sugar, longer-lasting slower-releasing energy. Makes you feel fuller for longer.

11. Know your fats. Stay away from saturated fats and trans-fats. Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated fats are good for you in moderation. Fatty acids are essential for effective fat-burning.

12. When muscle-building, eat a maximum of your bodyweight in grams of protein. Anything over this amount is wasted. E.g. 90kg guy, 90g protein.

Hopefully those will get some of you started

Hello ,

Thanks for explaining it to me so beautifully.Allow me to ask few specific questions:

1.How wide should our hands be while working out for chest?
2.How close should our hands be while working out for triceps?
3.What should be the ideal interval between two sets?

Great to know that you have got a six pack abs just by doing pushups and chinups. i am inspired and intent to follow your route to success.

catthecopywriter

Love it - always great to take a break from the screen and even better when getting exercise!

runfast

1. 33" apart for chest
2. Thumbs and index fingers should be touching for triceps
3. As for interval it depends what you're looking for...go 20 min intervals to stay in shape and 5 minutes for building muscle.

Most of the time when I do pushups my hands are 22" apart

The six pack abs probably come from doing chinups with weights strapped strapped to my ankles. (I only weigh 140lbs so I have to add weights to make it count ;-)

Good Luck!

ASM Marketing

That's inaccurate information man... the width of your hands is completely variable based on the size of the person. If the guy is 6'5 and has a 46" chest, he will be buckling and targeting the wrong muscle groups that he thinks he is working.

A general rule of thumb is the wider your hands, the more you're working your chest. The closer your hands are together, the more you are working your arms (to stabilize your body).

• Hanging-leg raises for abs
• Wide-grip chin-ups for lats/back
• Narrow-grip chin-ups for arms
