I am going to get in shape. But I was blessed with a fast metabolism as a kid and was very active. It has been only in the last few years living this so called "real life" that I have turned into someone unhealthy and in a shape I do not want to be in. I have no clue how to get healthy. I do not know what foods to eat, good exercises and good habits to work into my day to day.
So I am making this thread to gather and share info for anyone else looking to get in shape or just hit a physical goal. Anyone with input please share. This thread is to help encourage me to achieve my goal, and I hope others can set their goals and as a community support each other to reach them. I will update with more info tomorrow.

Jame, the only way to get into shape is to make it your utmost top priority--and stick to it:
First, if you're overweight, you must identify your weakness and put it behind you, forever. In my case, it was snacking after dinner. Not only did I have to stop, I had to accept that I could never, ever snack after dinner again--no exceptions. Lots of people lose weight, but very few can keep it off. You can never go back to whatever caused you to gain.
Second, you must make exercise your top priority, each and every day. You can only go so far with weight loss before your metabolism resets itself, and you hit a dead end. Exercising for as little as 30 minutes a day will keep the calories burning. No exceptions--daily! You'll have to be come a bit asocial--someone invites you out to a lunch that conflicts with your exercise period, say no to lunch.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

Everything I do is related to soccer, but it is good for anyone
Conditioning is the most basic element of any athletic success. Without it, athletic success is the result luck. While luck is appreciated, it does unexpectedly go wherever it wants. Therefore, to achieve athletic success, luck must be removed and replaced with skill and execution. Only then will you be in control of the things you can control, at the time you need to control them.
Proper conditioning shall achieve three things. First, is the obvious plus in physical performance late in the game. Second, is that mental functions are quicker and more apt to be correct when not under physical duress. Third, is that most injuries occur as the players fatigue threshold approaches.There should never be a reason for anyone to wonder, if conditioning was a factor. That would suggest a lack of suitable preparation, which should not be allowed! Everyone must participate! For if just one player, for one instant, at a critical time, is not able to keep up, then that team effort shall be lost for always.The “Fartlek Running and Training Program” was developed by a strength and conditioning coach to address the physical requirements of “intervals”, which are found in most team athletics. The idea is that by using a training format which parallels the sport, the benefits of the training are realized more quickly. Quite surprisingly, research that is ongoing today, has shown that with little variation, the same training format works for almost all team sports.
FARTLEK RUNNING The word “fartlek” comes from the Swedish words for “speed play”. Fartlek running and training consists of varying the distance and intensity of the work within the overall training distance that you run. This type of training will be performed in sets of three sessions, during a one week time frame.
General Training Guidelines Stretch properly BEFORE AND AFTER each training session. A light jog is required to warm the muscles before stretching. When speed runs are included early in the session, then some 1/2 speed runs must be performed first as part of the warmup, to prepare the muscles. Then after comes the cool down. Light jogging and stretching after heavy training sessions will rid your legs of waste products (lactic acid). A buildup of lactic acid shall cause a heavy and sluggish feeling in the legs. Light jogging and stretching will relieve that feeling.Always use a watch and time your runs. It is best to keep a training diary of your times etc.It is best to train with one or two other people.
Always take in fluids in moderate levels before, during, and after a training session. Water is fine, or use a sport drink if you prefer (not a soft drink).Make sure that you are playing as well as doing the conditioning program. Playing soccer Work on your passing, first touch with the ball, and shooting. DO NOT ONLY RUN!!!!
Explanation of Training Notes You should not begin interval training of any kind until your aerobic capacity has been established. If your fitness level is not high, you should plan to complete at least 2 weeks of regular aerobic capacity training before attempting fartlek or other interval training.
A sample plan for 4 weeks of aerobic capacity training for U15 and above would be the following:
Week 1: Choose a distance you can run comfortably in about 25 min. Run the same distance four times, attempting to reduce your time to between 20 and 22 min by the fourth run. (Don’t worry if your time does not improve every time you run - look for a trend toward improvement!)
Week 2: Choose a distance you can run comfortably in about 30 min. Run the same distance four times, attempting to reduce your time to between 26 and 28 min by the fourth run.
Week 3: Choose a distance you can run comfortably in about 35 min. Run the same distance four times, attempting to reduce your time to between 30 and 33 min by the fourth run.
Week 4: Choose a distance you can run comfortably in about 40 min. Run the same distance four times, attempting to reduce your time to between 35 and 38 min by the fourth run.This training, which is quite short but intense, should be done regardless of whether you have a practice.
Crunches should be done in sets; for example, if you see 100 crunches (5x20), this means you should do 5 sets of 20 crunches, with 20-30 seconds of rest between sets.
Rough distance equivalents in terms of a full-size soccer pitch: 15 m = about 1 stride less than the distance from the goal line to the top of the 18
20 m = centre of the goal to the closer edge (not the top) of the penalty area
50 m = goal line to halfway line
100 m = 1 field length
200 m = 2 field lengths
800 m = 8 field lengths or about 2.5 circuits outside the lines
1 km = about 3 circuits
“Running the lake” = about 3.5 km or a bit less.“Shuttle cones” are a given number of cones or other markers set up a given distance apart. To run this exercise, start from the given distance before the first cone, run to the first cone and then back to the start, then to the second one and back to the start, and so on. So if you see “2 - 4 x 10 shuttle cones, 30 sec rest between”, that means to set up your cones or other markers like this, where ‘S’ is the starting line: S o o o o |-- 10 m --|-- 10 m --|-- 10 m --|-- 10 m --|
You would run the shuttles once, then rest for 30 sec, then run them again for a total of 2 sets. If you see “4 - 4 x 15 shuttle cones”, that means to run 4 repetitions with 4 cones set up 15 m apart, and the first one 15 m from the starting line. “Back sprints” are simply sprints performed running backwards

To get in shape, you needs these things: motivation; diet; workout.
It was really hard for me to get my fat ass out of my house and start running. So, I put my motivation up - women. In good shape with a good body you're bound to get more pussy than being a fatass.
Diet - You need to eat healthy. You can workout as much as you want, but if you don't eat right you don't get the result. My diet: Breakfast: 100gr of Rice, 200g of chicken fillet, 50gr peanuts; Lunch: 100gr of Rice, 200g of chichen fillet; 2nd Lunch: 100gr of meat(I eat chicken fillet); After training or cardio: Whey protein concentrate; Dinner: 200gr Curd, 50gr peanuts TIP: boil the rice and the meat, that way it won't loose it's elements that you need the most. Rice contains carbonyte - gives you energy and good for your brain for thinking Meat/chicken fillet/curd - gives you protein, makes your muscles grow and eat the carbs in your body. peanuts - gives you unsaturated fat, that's easy to burn in workout. All this shit like icecream for example or candy contains saturated fat, that's hard to get off. Whey protein concentrate - drink it after your workout, it neutralizes lactic acid and gets your muscles to not burn out.
Workout: Practically, if you want to loose weight fast, you need a training program. What I suggest. Go to the gym three days a week, all the other days do cardio(running). If you want to fasten up the process, run also on the days when you go to the gym. Don't be a fa***t don't run inside the gym on those running boards, inhaling smelly farts. Do it outside in the nature where's fresh air, it'll be more interesting. Change your routes if you get bored from the same ones. A friend of mine when he started workout, he was running twice a day. If you need a workout program, message me up, I'll write you the one I use.
If you want to even go more hardcore, you can cut out carbs out for one week and live only on protein, that'll activate ketose in your brain, but you'll be having no energy and won't be able to think normally. But your muscle will eat up the fat as they will need someone to eat from.
I hope it helped, if you need more advices, hit me up or ask here.
By the way, this is how I workout weekly: Monday: Boxing Tuesday: Gym + Cardio Wednesday: Boxing Thursday: Gym + Cardio Friday: Boxing Saturday: Gym + Cardio Sunday: Free Day.

Turnbull ask them were they got it from. It was originally on the soccer coaches email list I was one of the original posters on that site. I did not make that original post. But I liked it and sent it to myself on my yahoo e mail account.
We all take what we like and dismiss what we don't like we can use them as handout to our teams. I also put a lot of my original posts on my email account that other sites have put on there without ever giving me credit.
One of my original names I used posting on soccer was Mrsoccer. Now 100 people use it.
I am telling you that site you sighted was not the original poster of that information on fartlick

I'm 65 and on Jan 1 2011 I was weighing in at 235. At 6'1 that is FAT. I resolved and have kept the resolution for more than two years now, and am down to a trim 172 (had to buy all new clothes). The deal is simple. Fifteen minutes a day every day (well almost) on a rowing machine. Have to do at least 2500 km (so its 2500 km or more than 15 mins if that is necessary. On a good day I can do 2.7).
And thats it. I take stairs when I can and park at the far end of parking lots, and walk when it is a few blocks to my desitnation.
I cut out all processed foods all hard booze and seldom drink beer (which leaves wine). Red meeat maybe once every two weeks at the most. Semi-vegetarian diet, lots of green and yellow veggies, rice and beans, tofu, 8 glasses of water a day, all whole grains, nuts, berries, yogurt, and thats my trick.
