Expert: Richard Doughty Date: 6/10/2008 Subject: How hard to exercise
Question Hi,
I am a lad of 16 + 1/2 years. I want to ask how much should I force myself. Like if I can do maximum 4 Crunches then I feel like stoping it. It is happening from two month, from the day I started my exercise. I cannot do more than this and push-ups too. Should I force myself more than 4 tolike 6 everyday.
Why do one feel very tired/broken after 2 or 3 days of stopping exercise ?
Answer hey
this question depends on a lot of things but in short , when it comes to doing push ups and crunches , dont hold back, push your self as hard as you can !
and to the 2nd question , you really shouldn't feel tired after 2 days of no exercise unless you spend the two days literally sitting on your butt the whole time. If you find you feel tired a lot i would look into how healthy are you really eating
