I go work out and for cardio it is muay thai and/or squash. I normally didn't do a lot of weights but now I do, and I got to say I love it. So for the past 2 months have been working out 6 days a week. In terms of shakes, I take pure whey protein shake or quick mass.

And belly dancing?! Oh my! That's the best, especially for the tummy.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Belly dance. I used to actually teach it when I was in university. But since converted I ditched it. I wish I had a sisters-only studio. I would totally run classes! It is an awesome workout - great for the tummy and staying toned. It actually kills your arms too!

What do you all listen to when working out, or running? Personally, it is either lectures, podcasts, or music (metal, hip hop, classical, pashto).

Well...you need to eat a loottt more. Sorry to your wife - it means she will have to cook more. Chicken, fish (salmon and tuna), whole wheat carbs, and a whole lot of this. You should also be getting shakes for before and after your workout. Some are able to give you energy (so you take them before) and some are to restore any damage to your body after your workout and help you get bigger.

I usually suggest doing a BSN cycle. Check http://www.supplements101.com/BSN_Ma...foundation.htm if you want to order them cheap go to www.fitnessone.com It has all of the nutrients to help you "bulk up". It has some pills (filled with fishoils and stuff) and powder for shakes. You don't have to take it all..but read up on it.

You need to work out though at least 5 days a week. It will be hard at first...but don't give up. If you do it and push yourself for 21 days (3 weeks) it becomes a habit and your body will adjust to putting out so much energy. Don't focus so much on cardio (only to warm up)...weight lifting is more important to gain muscle/weight. And the rule is: heavy weights, few repetitions = muscle gain. Light weights, many repetitions = fat burning. Here is a workout to follow:

Monday: Chest
The chest forms one of the biggest muscle groups on your body. And everyone wants a wide, large chest. So let me divide the chest into three main parts, the upper, the mid and the lower so that you will be able to develop each of these parts individually. It is essential to warm-up your chest for these exercises. So before you start a chest workout routine, I suggest you do 20-25 push-ups and stretches so that your body is adequately warmed up.

• Upper Chest: For the upper chest particularly, you have incline dumbbell press and incline dumbbell flies. Both these exercises ought to be done, 4 sets each and up to 10 reps a set.
• Mid: For the mid chest, you could do Bench-Press and Pec-Dec or Bench Press with Chest Flies. Chest flies are slightly more difficult than Pec-Dec as a lot of energy is used to balance the dumbbells. You can do these two exercises in the same format as before: 4 sets each and 10 reps to a set.
• Lower Chest: The lower chest exercises should be tried only once you are assured that you can do the upper and mid chest exercises properly. Lower chest exercises are more difficult as normal beginner bodybuilding workouts do not really tone them up. But if you want the perfect chest, then these exercises are quite essential. For the perfect lower chest, I suggest that you perform Declined Bench Press and Declined Bench Flies. The dumbbells for these exercises may be a little lesser in weight than for normal Bench Press

Tuesday: Legs
After a hard chest workout, it is advisable that you give your upper body a little break and perform the lower body workout the next day. For legs, you can warm-up by doing free-squats and stretches. Once your legs are warmed up, you can proceed to the exercise routine. There are three main muscles in the legs. The Quadriceps, the Hamstrings and the Calves.

• Quadriceps: For quadriceps you can start by doing Lunges with Dumbbells. You can do 4 sets of lunges with 10 reps each. You can then either do Leg Raises on the machine or Smith Machine Squats. These too can be done in 4 sets of 10 reps each.
• Hamstrings: The hamstring is the muscle on the posterior side of the thigh. To tone up this muscle, you should can do Leg Curls on the machine. This exercise can be done in the same format of 4 sets of 10 reps each.
• Calves: There aren't a variety of exercises for your calves and most of them revolve around Calf Raises. So you could either do the Calf Raises on a stand or a Hack. Ideally, you ought to do both these exercises in 4 sets of 10 reps each.

Wednesday: Biceps
Most men want huge, well toned biceps as biceps command attention. So for the biceps, you could do normal Bicep Curls, Thumbs-up Curls (Hammer Curls) and Barbell Curls. I have found that Preacher Curls are especially useful for the front part of the biceps. You can do all of these too in 4 sets with 10 reps to a set. What most people forget to do are exercises for the forearms. Now would you like big biceps and small forearms? So you could do front wrist curls and back wrist curls on a machine or with a dumbbell/barbell again in 4 sets of 10 reps each.

Thursday: Cardio and Abs
You can diversify your cardio exercises or do just one of them. Whatever you do, make sure it is done for an hour.

For abs, you should do 3 sets of each: Forward Crunches for upper abs, reverse crunches for lower abs, and side crunches for obliques. Along with these basic exercises, you can also do the jackknife and V-ups. These exercises have to be done in 4 sets but with 15-20 reps.

to go with it? And this won't happen on its own, you know. So devote one day a week to a rigorous abs and cardio schedule. range from Friday: Triceps and Shoulders
Friday is probably going to be the toughest day of the week as there are two muscle groups to be worked on in one day. So for triceps, you can start with push-ups as they are also a good warm up for the triceps. For triceps, you can perform Lying Triceps Extension, Triceps Dips, One Arm Triceps Extension and Triceps Curls. All these exercises can be done in 4 sets of 10 reps each.

For Shoulders, two of the best and essential exercises are lateral raises and shoulder press. You can do these two exercises either on the machine or with dumbbells. Along with these, you can also do rear lateral raises and front lateral raises for the posterior and anterior deltoid respectively. You can also do Dumbbell Shrugs and back flies for the Lateral Deltoid and the Posterior Deltoid respectively.

Saturday: Back
I reserve the last day of the week for another big muscle group: the back. Start your back exercises with push-ups and pull-ups/chin-ups. Do 15-20 reps of each. Start with upper back exercises. For the lat muscles, you can start with Lat Pull-down and One Arm Dumbbell rows. For the mid back, you can do Machine Rows and Dead Lifts. All these exercises can be done in 4 sets of 10 reps each. Read on for more on an upper back workout.
