You need a good head on your shoulders first. This enables you to make snap decisions that will put you in the play. I also suggest conditioning. I mean running ablility is a must. If you can't run you can catch or out run someone else. Agility and flexability is a must. You must be able to move in different directions in an instant. If you are not flexible you will be more prone to injuries. Other than this you need good hands. Your hands play an essential part of the game. You  must catch the ball, throw the ball and use your hands to hold someone to tackle them and even use them to push them off of you to get to the play or to gain yardage. These are a few things you should work on to be a good football player. Attitude, confidence, hard work, determination and being coachable will help extremely. I hope this helps. JT Lay

That's a lot of cardio!  I usually only do 20 minutes four times a week.  What I find fun is an elliptical machine.  These are at all gyms.  I usually bring my iPod or plug my headphones into the TV so I can watch that.  Do something that takes your mind off of you exercising.

I was a fitness instructor for 24 hour fitness, it was a great experience...they have no contracts, so if you prefer no contracts obligating you to be at one gym, I would try 24 hour fitness. Besides they have a hell of a lot more gyms and you can go to any around the world with your membership.

the biology behind weight training is the key here. when you work out, you strain your muscles. this causes small tears in the muscle sheath. after about 36 hours, the muscle sheath regenerates itself, and the newly formed tissue causes the muscle to get bigger and stronger. if you work out ever 24 hours, your muscles do not have adequate time to repair themselves, and you risk injuring yourself.

Firstly a suitable training plan needs to be organised, incorparating flexibility, cardiovascular and strength training.  Primarily 3-4 times a week, 45mins to 1 hour should do the job. Try to give yourself rest days between sessions to let the muscles recover and strengthen this will increase results aswell as reducing the risk of injuries.  A quality, regulated and progressive training routine linked with a good all-round diet (eat slowly till you are full) will lead to results in 4-8 weeks.  If in doubt ask at your local gym or fitness center, or buying a sports or fitness magazine is always a good step, \nMost importantly have fun.

After a workout your muscle sets need 48 hours of rest.  Professional builders exercise one set top one day bottom the next day.  Giving your muscles time to heal and build is just as important as the work out.

hardcore! \n\ni respect that. \nhow often do you change your routines?\ni feel once your muscles are accustomed to a certain exercise--you must stimulate them differently if you want optimal growth...\nyou want to constantly challenge them to perform new types of movement that will recruit more fibers to help you perform your exercises\n\nsomething tells me you definitely know what you're doing =P\nbut perhaps --if you change your exercises--once every 4-6 weeks--you might gain better results\n\nalso--4-5 exercises per body part sounds little too exhaustive--maybe 2-3? as long as you do them with all out intensity \n\ngood luck

Start with some walking. Walk for a set amount of time, say 30 minutes. Pick up the pace after a week or so, add some more time on as you begin to feel more in shape. It's always smart and safe to start with something easy like this and work your way up to more strenuous exercise routines.

It's ok to workout a few days in a row, as long as you are training different muscle groups each day. Do not workout everyday of the week, you need days off so the body can recover.\n                  good luck....

you should space your crunches out to 50 every four hours that way you are constantly working them to tone them just doing 200 once will get results but by te time you do more the effects of the first set will have worn off start with 50 every 4 hours then go to 100 every 6 hours and move up until your doing about 100 a day i got great results

With a schedule like that, I'd be exhausted, too.  Anyone would!  First, keep an eye on your diet and rest.  Make sure you're fueling up with as much good calories as possible, and enough of them.  Too little and you'll constantly be down.  Try to grab healthy snacks during the day, whatever your situation allows, be it leftovers, something you prepare (yogurts, fruits, nuts, lean meat), or a prepared energy bar.  Try to fuel up every 2.5 - 3 hours to keep energy in your tank.  Also, get enough rest.  12 hour shifts can be brutal without adequate rest.  After diet and rest, I'd work in whatever exercise the schedule allows that is practical.  If that's 2 days per week, so be it.  If you find you can do 3 days, great.  Given your limited time to workout, if you're doing weights, I'd suggest full-body workouts whenever you're in the gym.  And limit your time to 45 - 60 minutes.  After 60 minutes, we've pretty much tapped our energy and maintaining the proper intensity for longer than that is pretty difficult.\n\nDon't stress about the workouts too much.  Deal with what you have to focus on first (life, career, general health).

You are right it is a great start. I go to the gym 7 days a week alternating days between cardio and weights.For the best results you should have both in your work outs. Go slow, keep it fun and change it up so you keep the intensity different for optimal results.

i play basketball as well. i'm a junior in highschool and i use to play in California, but i moved to Tennessee and they were in much more shape than i was because we didn't condition that much in Cali., i ran on my own and practiced for 2 hours on the weekends, but i lost the habit and there was nothing i could do except for push myself at practice to be in the condition that i should be in. we started off running 2-3 miles everyday nonstop, running bleachers 30 min., running stairs 20 min, and sprinting 50 sprints baseline to baseline. just push yourself and you'll get there, what ever you do, don't quit. quitting is too easy. if you just push yourself, you'll be suprised as to how fast you get in shape.

how long/hard do you work per day?  i guess the obvious answer is to make sure you sleep enough and eat enough.  if you do, then you can give it a shot...it's pretty cheap.  it's mainly used by bodybuilders so if it gives them the energy to go through their workouts, it should probably get you through the day.

If you can handle 30 no problem then I would stay go with the 45 minutes.  If you are just starting, I would stay to start with even less, about 20 minutes, and then work your way up in 5 minute intervals.

You will start to see noticeable results on any fitness program in 3 weeks but real fitness will take 6-12 weeks and that assumes that as you become fitter, you increase the intensity of your workout.  20 minutes per day is a good start for a fitness program, but you might want to go a bit longer 1 day a week (30 - 40 minutes) and the long day could be walking or some other aerobic exercise.  Also it good to take a day off each week to give you muscles time to rebuild.
