Thread: Are my muscles still in recovery time? (I'm pretty new to all this)

how often do you workout your other muscles?

I never do, don't go to the gym (got anxiety so never really go in public places) but I am waiting for my parents (yes, only 17, got anxiety so yeah rely on parents) to get me weights.
I do lots of walking around though and running.

if you wanna see your abs its a combination of cardio and diet!

if you want to build your abdominal muscles, do weighted exercises once a week!

CAN'T WAIT TO GET THOSE DUMBELLS! I've never really used dumbells before, my mum got me 2 kilo ones the other week but they seemed so light. Would 5 kilos be good for a starter like me? Or is that too much for a beginner, or not much at all?
Oh yeah, if someone could answer my originall question......

I already answered your original question.

don't buy ant dumbells, quit being a pussy and go to a real gym!

The other question, are my abs still in recovery time because I can still feel the pain from the crunches I did 2 days ago. And if they are, should I be doing crunches every 3 days instead of 2.
I'll stay a pussy and get dumbells I would feel really intimidated and scared in a gym haha. Once I gain muscle and look good, which I'm hoping to do before the end of the year, then hey maybe i won't be a pussy no more and actually get some pussy

Ok umm, back to that question I just wrote before all of that pussy stuff......

I do lots o running every day, I've lost 20kg's this year, I've gone from 80 down to 60. Dunno how many pounds that all is.

Running helps but a tight diet will peel off the fat better than anything......doing both is best for most people.

Well I didn't end up doing any crunches yesterday and will do them today. I'm sure it's fine though, I can still feel a tiny little bit of pain from the crucnhes I did 3 days ago.

If you just started working out, then it's very normal for soreness to persist excessively for days at a time.

I always work through soreness. It has never seemed to hinder my progress one bit.
