Do you feel ashamed of your (weak) body?

Pain is just weakness leaving your body. So if you push yourself to point your whole body is aching, then you're doing nothing but getting stronger

I don't work out. But I am not weak. I was born with the gift of being a giant.

Not really I work out and do hard labor for work so I'm pretty strong.

I'm no body builder and don't want to to be so I'm not ashamed at all really.

The most important factor when doing any exercise is quality over quantity, 1 perfect push-up is better than 30 shit ones and don't work the same body part over a 48 hour period because it's in the rest phase that your body becomes stronger. If you want any advice about anything please feel free to ask.

You shouldn't be ashamed. I was like that almost a year ago I had never worked out and was really skinny and tall so I looked even more skinny. Then I got into basketball and started going to the gym and started doing little but building up slowly and slowly . It's a year on now and I'm generally quite muscly and strong because I play basketball and it requires it's players to have a certain strength.

So don't feel ashamed but do something about it :)

Yup i am ashamed. A few years ago i was pretty fit. I was in military school and had a strong body. It has been 4 years since then, and i lost a lot of muscle.

My little brother came up to visit me about a month ago. He has multiple black belts, and spent about a week beating the hell out of me lmao. I feel super weak right now. I have been working out a lot now, but i still feel like i will never reach the strength of my brother and my cousins.

They are fucking super human lmao. I want power and speed.

I used to, but I've learned to embrace my dearth and wear girl's skinny jeans. Now I'm sexy as fuck.

Yes but it is still very hansom.

You sound like you're pretty weak the way you describe things. Im pretty sure if you put enough effort and strength to become stronger and get your body the way you want it to you will can do so.

Make sure to work out correctly, form is so important, I think it was mentioned above, but it bears mentioning again. Form leads to the best results.

Also be sure to not over do, I dont know if you are male or female, but regardless, if you do over do your joints will suffer from it.

I'm huge into any sport that allows me to compete against other people, and I love to run. I have hit the gym 7 days a week for more than a decade now, so I love my physical appearence!

I started excersising religiously because I was very tiny as a freshman (5'6" and about 100lbs) so I had to bulk up considerably to be able to compete in football! My peak weight was 145 but I don't work that hard at it anymore. Just keep hitting the gym and you will get where you want to be!

Well...
I could go to the gym and slim down or get toned...
However, my lowest safe weight is 115, I am now 125-130 and remain there as a constant. The achievements to my appearance as is would only be slightly noticeable. I'd like to get back into shape...

But I'm a bookworm, pure and simple. Lucky for me, my build allows me to not work out and stay at the average weight. I'm not a big sports and physical fitness type of person. I'm sure I could be if I tried but who the heck is expecting me to look like Jane Fonda anyway?

I don't mind my skinny body structure. If I actually had a reason to work out, I would. But I don't.

Sometimes. I haven't exercise much lately so I sometimes feel ashamed when I eat really unhealthy food or find that I can't do 10 pushups as easily as I could have when I wasn't so weak.

I have a weak body but a strong mind.

I natrually have a strong build, and I barely exercise, but I want to start again soon.

I feel ashamed of myself that when I say "I'm going to exercise tomorow" I blow it off.

yes. im thin and ill looking. im striving hard to look normal but whatever i do, i cant gain weight. BUT i consider myself not weak, im stronger than some people who are bulky and can do what they can do. i can lift weights, run for hours etc. im just ashamed that i look weak. :(

I was built like a super noodle a year ago, im in good shape now ;)

Eat eat eat and eat, buy a good protein shake and lift weights. You will see a differance in weeks.

Hey, at least you're making a change. Sure, you're not that strong yet, but if you keep this up, you'll get results. You're also your own worst judge for these kind of things, so don't fret about it.

If you want to get strong on a cardiovascular level, you'll need to do some jogging or cycling rather than short sprints. Use the 'cardio' option on exercise machines. That oughta keep you on the right level.

Also, what Darkoil said.

Hmm simple answer is No... I never felt like I had to work out... I don't think there is a need for... Why should I do this when I'm comfortable with my body... I don't have any muscles and Ok I'm way too skinny and want to gain some weight but I don't really care... I don't see the point...

i got a sixpack and alot of muscles so no :)

I feel a bit guilty reading this. I do much less aerobic exercise than I should (I do get a good amount of anaerobic, though), and I've been lucky to inherit a body shape that has muscles that are just "there" without needing to be worked on. At least once a month, one friend or another wants to feel my biceps. I think it's just a mystery to them because I'm definitely not the gym-dweller type.

As for you, though, I was always told there are two reasons people work out. Either to be fitter, or to look different. If you want definition, it's a whole different regimen.

I'm a slow runner, always have been and always will be. However, I run every night for the fun of it and to keep myself in shape. When it concerns the muscle tone of my body, I'm not too ashamed of it. I may not have Jacob's body, but I'm capable of doing some sit-ups and push-ups. However, I will say that I'm small in stature and am immensely jealous of tall people.

Who said you were weak?
