There are many ways to exercise without leaving the home. Personally, I enjoy the indoor bicycle. You can purchase one for only 80 dollars. There is also the treadmill, running in place, jumping jacks, or a variety of other ways to exercise without going out.

Start with pushups if you can't think of anything else to do. Running is great if you can stand to be out of your house. You can also do things like squats, lunges, headstands, handstands and bridges inside with little space. If you have gear/things that can conveniently substitute as gear you can do pullups, dips, jump rope, or add weight to any of the above items (e.g. using a backpack NOTE: not a good idea for cardio like running or jumping rope). Treadmills are a great investment, if you can stand to deal with people you might watch your local Craigslist or maybe you could get one shipped off eBay I don't know. If you want to get big and strong, it would be wise to get weights but it's not like you have to make that decision immediately.

[Anonymous No.]

But then I wouldn't be NEET, silly OP.

[Anonymous No.]

Why do people enjoy weight lifting?

I hate it. The sets are short and quick so it never really feels like you got a workout and then you unexpectededly hit your limit out of no where and all of the sudden you're trapped under a bar because your arms have given out and you have to roll the bar off you, take off the weights, and then put it back on the stand.

Cardio is actually enjoyable. You can turn on some music on your ipod and just run for awhile. You get into it and time flies by. There's no immersion with weight lifting, it's just five minutes of pain followed by several minutes of waiting and then more pain.

Exercise is dumb. The only reason we need to exercise is because we've evolved under the assumptions we'll be out running, hunting animals and fighting other tribes. But we don't have to do that any more. Exercise is like saying, "Well, I've retired and never have to work another day in my life. Guess I'll clean toilets for the next decade or two!"

But cardio won't give me the body I want to masturbate in front of a mirror to. Lifting actually gives me what I feel as nicer muscles to look at... I don't lift heavy, but I enjoy my body for its looks not its strength.

Exercise makes you feel happy though, endorphins and all of that. You're likely to feel depressed and lethargic if you don't exercise.

I would bet that most of the people on /jp/ who complain about being unable to get the motivation to do anything just need a bit of regular exercise.

Not him, but I feel the same way and I have a good diet and I'm pretty healthy.

Whether I exercise often (as I did a couple of years ago) or I exercise for the first time in forever (as I did last week), I've always felt this way. I don't think it's too uncommon. Yes, it releases endorphins and I've had the odd runner's high same as everyone, but some people just genuinely don't like the act of exercising.

[Anonymous No.]

>need to do something which requires motivation?

Nothing requires motivation. Motivation just makes a task easier to do.

That's the problem that a lot of people seem to have. For some reason there's this idea floating around that you need to be motivated to do something. Often motivation comes after you start to regularly do a task and it becomes part of your daily routine.

If you just sit around waiting to feel motivation then you'll never do anything because that's not how it works.

Isn't that weight lifting though?

Do a set of five reps which takes maybe a minute. Now your muscles are all weak and they have to recharge so you can do the rest of your sets so you wait a few minutes and then you do it again. After that torture is finally over then you have to repeat it again with squats or whatever your next exercise is supposed to be.

Five minutes != your still way too long 60 seconds. That's 12 seconds a rep. Watch a clock count 12 seconds. You also don't have to do 5x5. You can also decrease rest times if you want to keep a "pump" like you would running. Or maybe you don't run and just jog, because I'm not sure how you would draw a major distinction between the two. We're more alike than different.

Exercise frightens me.

My doctor tells me to take 20mg of adderall two times each day so I can be motivated and happy, but it increases my heart rate and makes me dehydrated since that's what stimulants do.

If I try to exercise during this then my heart starts beating like a drummer with parkinson's and even when I stop I have to spend the next fifteen minutes taking deep breaths just to prevent myself from feeling faint.

I want to exercise, but how can I do it when that happens?

How do you know when your muscles are ready though? If I try too early then my arms often feel like rubber in the middle of a rep and I get stuck under the bar. I hate that more than anything.

I've been doing a few exercises for like a month
Started with pushups and squats, but now I lift a backpack with a few medical books inside and a bottle full of water. I also do that Navy Seal thing or whatever that I saw on youtube and it's been working pretty nice
It gave me a decent shape but I still don't know how to increase my muscles, and shoulder wideness. Guess is time to look up for new exercises

[Anonymous No.]

>>9389855
What kind of exercises? Lower the intensity until you're at a reasonable BPM. If you don't know your max heart rate, just use 220 - age to get a basic idea. If you're under 80% of your max, you're doing fine. If you're under 90% and feeling faint you've overexerted yourself or are dehydrated.

How do I check my heart rate? I've always had trouble understanding that. I check the wrist pulse thingy and the one on my neck, but I don't know how to count the heartbeat.

When I feel my pulse do that bump against my finger does that count as one heartbeat or is it every two bumps? I thought that hearts make the two sounds that are kind of like "lub - dub" and those two sounds count as one heart beat. Is it the same for pulse rates or does each bump count as a "lub - dub" ?

I've googled this before and I can never find a straight answer. It must be common knowledge and I just never learned.

It seems kinda important though since my heartrate could either be 85bpm right now or 170.

I like to do bodyweight exercises. Pushups, squats, situps, burpees, the plank, side plank, bridges, and I'd say about 20 others that I don't know the names of. My favorite muscles are the various back and shoulder muscles. They feel so good when they're flexed. Truly, the back is the most pleasurable part of the body. I like stretching too. Like...more than one normally would I think. I imagine /jp/sies would love stretching too. Since it's pretty easy, and /jp/ is full of disgusting lewd faggots that desire extreme flexibility for their lewd interests. Running is great, like full speed running with normal running in between. I can't do treadmills though, every time I get on one I'm nearly passed out by the time I get off. I can do non-electric treadmills but I don't see the point when I can just go out at night and run back and forth between the grocery store and the NEETcave.

"Lub" is the heart expanding. "Dub" is it contracting, at which point you feel a "pulse". So each pulse is the product of a full beat, or a "lub-dub", and each one counts. If you're at 170 at your computer you should be sweating and out of breath, and should see your doctor. You can get some basic idea of resting and working heart rates from Wikipedia:

If you've been walking around at all, or even if you're worry about this a bit or maybe playing a shmup it's not a big deal. Most resting heart rates, the ones cited in there article here >>9389980, would be measured right as you woke up (no nightmare-type wake ups). Any amount of stress or exertion can raise your heart rate surprisingly quickly.

I think it was discussed in the topic earlier, but the whole happy-confidence thing after exercise is only sort of true for me. I feel great after doing it, but only for about twenty minutes. Then I just feel bad again.

Immediately after exercise I feel on top of the world and I want to go kill dragons, but before long I just feel like I wasted time I could have used working on my backlog.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9390028

Also, drink water. Dehydration increases heart-rate and you won't be able to feel the early symptoms of dehydration like a normal person can. Same with hunger, you can spend the entire day not eating a thing without noticing that you are starving until you pass out.

If you're on speed and you're not drinking around a gallon of water each day then you're not drinking enough. You should be drinking so much that you have to piss every 30 minutes.

Honestly, I feel massive pains in my head after fapping, so I have to wonder if the same would not hold true for exercise, if I did that.

All of those pills are hard on your body though.

Just look at >>9389855

Amphetamines have a very similar feeling to what you get from exercising, but if your heart isn't in good shape from regular cardio exercise then it's going to have a hard time with the drugs. A runner's heart-rate is considerably lower than a normal person's heart-rate because his heart is stronger.

Ecstasy, amphetamines, all of the drugs that make you feel full of energy and happiness put some stress on your heart and if you're out of shape then this can be dangerous.

>>9390195
What used to motivate me was contempt. I wanted to be stronger than all of those people that I hated. That was back when I was in high school though. Now that I never even SEE anyone other than myself and the cashier girl at the grocery store I'm motivated by two things.

Self hate - Specifically, hating my weaknesses. Really though, I hate everything about myself that isn't perfect. I try to at least.

Love for games - Although this is somewhat unrelated to the exercise.

To put it quite simply, I do my best when I have an enemy. You're your own greatest enemy. Kill the weakness inside of your heart, /jp/.

Eat no more than 1000 calories per day, and eat everything you're going to eat over the course of 6 hours. Outside of those 6 hours, only thing you can eat is plain water and dicks. The fat will melt right off even if you don't exercise. Also I usually eat over the course of 12 hours 1 day per week. If you don't want to lose any more weight, eat 1500 calories per day.
