TigerWoods
Smash Champion
Mission Statement
Hello! My name is Tiger Woods (not really) and I'm a full time geek and a part time jock. Now we all know that a common stereotype of gamers is that we are fat and unhealthy or skin and bones. If this is you how about we change that stereotype!!! If you're already pretty fit, why not get RIPPED? I don't have a degree or anything (yet... harhar) but I think this support group should help us get fit (or fitter)!
This is the Smash Gym. Together we shall fight a war against being unhealthy! Join a community that is hellbent on obtaining a better physique. Man or woman, old (guess we don't really have old people) or young! Help others help themselves get a 6-pack!
Three Rules
* Keep it health oriented. Not too strict on this one though. Off topic discussions or small talk go here: http://www.smashboards.com/group.php?groupid=631
* No Flaming. Banter is allowed but all rules still apply. Stay positive. Attacking someone who is trying to get healthy will anger me.
* You must do a push-up after reading this. NOW! Any violation of this rule is inexcusable. I refuse to awknowledge you if you break this rule.

Tiger's Tips and Beginner's Guide
- If you are just beginning, I suggest you follow this. It's a pretty kick-butt site too, as it contains various workouts and tips. If you're a bit lost just ask and I'll help you personally http://scoobysworkshop.com/schedbeginning.htm
- Here is shmot's newbie workout! http://www.gamerhold.com/forum/index.php?topic=17149.0
- A nice push-up workout for all of you without access to a gym: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X72LtRcXR6g
- A nice workout for those with just a floor: http://www.wimp.com/spartantraining/
- I get a lot of questions about abs (rightfully so). This really works (edit: if link does not work since it breaks down a lot, PM me or just ask me about it). http://dailyburn.com/workout_programs/31685-Abb-Ripper-Workou
- Please don't buy a useless piece of junk for $5000. When you see commercials for "innovative and unique" exercise equipment, laugh at it. Simple, well known machines are where it's at.
EDIT: Unless it's a shake weight : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S3C4AC908w
- Don't "diet", just be sure to make healthy choices with your food. What I mean is don't get all worked up counting calories or make sure-fail promises to yourself like giving up candy FOREVER. Diets fail because the person who is dieting isn't enjoying his/herself. You know the expression, "A man who enjoys his work has never worked in his life?", well same goes for diets! Instead of resolving yourself to "diet", try and eat healthy foods you LIKE! There are plenty of different fruits and veggies out there for your enjoyment. Please remember skipping meals will decrease your metabolism, which will inadvertently make you fatter(in other words, EAT!!). Preventing yourself from eating is bad bad baddd.
- STRETCH! It increases the efficacy of your workouts as well as reduces the chance of injury(so you can keep working out without having to recover).
- Here is a link to the Old SWF Gym. It has some detailed workouts in it. http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=213464
- Unless you have a will as strong as diamonds (there ARE some of you out there), don't make drastic changes to your lifestyle. Instead, make small changes over a long period of time.
- Don't make stupid unreachable goals for yourself; make ones that you'll reach and keep making new goals every time you accomplish one.
- PATIENCE! Things come slowly but surely. Keep your head up and watch the results come!
- Check out the fitness forum courtesy of Shmot! http://www.gamerhold.com/forum/index.php?board=67.0
So get posting! Describe yourself and your goals, and we'll all help each other out!
