orite telow am in the army so do a fair bit of fitness i'm 5'9" and 10 stone 2 pounds so about the same build so will be able to give you some good tips
Stay away from creatine and any other weight gainers
these are intended for serious building and unless you do 12+ hours in the gym a week you'll just get fat because they are designed to make you put on weight to turn into muscle and have seen the effects first hand if you get it wrong not good
all you want to do is some weights (nothing ott) to tone combined with running ps running on a treadmill is s**t get out on the road will get about twice the benefit out of it
when doing upper body free weights etc isolate specific muscle groups build size and tone but for strength and size i reccommend press ups, pull ups, sit ups etc and using your body as a resistance weight this will tone you up without building to huge size and inevitably being a bigger target
Oh and your body craves protein when you exercise, eat lots of meat, turkeys the best
for paintball related fitness to help you out
- before you undertake any of this i reccomend you stop dieting your a good size from the sound of it and it dosn't sound like you need to and also because to work at 100% the body needs energy and you don't get it from salads you get it from pasta, potatoes, rice, meat, and other stodgy foods but take on fruit and veg also for vitamins
- get a 400m track/route do 100% best effort sprint have 20 second rest and go again and again repeat this so you do it 5 times then do 200m 100% best effort 5 times and then finish off with 5x100m sprints best effort again always trying to beat your previous time
- this increases stamina and sprint ability which will help you play game after game 100%
- note this will feel like your dying lol always remember pain is weakness leaving the body and fitness is all in the head and being able to push through the pain barrier and keep going
- 6 mile runs are also good for cardio vascular fitness but if you don't want to jump straight onto this then any run over half an hour will benefit you and you'll be able to tell the difference.
- on how regular you do this i reccomend
- mon-sprints as described
- tue-rest
- wed-distance run
- thur-upper body (weights)
- fri- distance run
- sat-upper body (weights)
- sun-rest
i hope this all helps you any other tips you want feel free to pm me
