Hey,
Let me just sum it up,
I'm 23. For years and years, the highest amount of physical activity was paintball every once in awhile, but mostly I've been effectively sitting in front of a computer. I've ended up a super skinny guy who still has body fat (which is ridiculous), and I've recently developed scoliosis. It's not severe but I have to do something about it, and I have. I've went to a chiropractor (which seemed sketchy, and now I'm trying to find another one), who will be giving me adjustments, etc.
The chiropractor said to do nothing that stresses my lower back, like "hack squats" and such.
Anyway,
I'm just completely out of shape. Yesterday I did 20 standard crunches, 20 with my legs in the air, and 40 bicycles, and by the time I got to the legs-in-the-air crunches, I couldn't even pull anymore off without a) strictly relying on neck muscles (I don't even know how/why, but it was killing me), and looking riiiidiculous.
I want to get back in shape, and I want to, basically, do it as fast as possible, especially since I'm beginning ninjutsu. I hate being out of shape and I'd like to get more active, but starting anywhere just seems discouraging when you feel so utterly useless. My back even hurts most of the time.
Long story short - any suggestions / advice? Any links to a basic workout regimen, utilizing either nothing or up to 15 pound hand dumb bells? (all I have).
Sorry if this sounds ridiculous - I really hate how I am right now, but I would really like some help and I figure this is probably a good place to ask, especially since I'm starting ninjutsu.
Thanks,
