what about just inside your home like sit ups and stuff.

what do you recommend that I could do inside. maybe an hour a day worth of exercise.

But i really have no clue on what to do. I just want to start to live healthy.

The BMI "ideal weight" is for sedentary individuals - people with minimal muscle mass. Tell me your current body fat %, and I will give you your actual ideal weight.

There are a variety of ways of estimating with measuring tape-based calculators. They're not that accurate, but they're better than nothing. You could also get calipers, which are better, or a water or air displacement measurement, which are even better, or x-ray densitometry, which is even better.

Based on what, BMI? At your proportion, you should really know your body fat percentage, and use that to determine what weight you want to be at.

you need to be below 160 if you want to look like a girl

5'7" + 180 = 29.2%

5'7" + 160 = 25.1% (still .1 overweight, but eh.)

Those look like BMIs. BMIs are NOT percentages. They're not anything besides a way for lazy biostatisticians to avoid actually working.

I'm sorry, did I forget to point out that I'm not a dietician/nutritionist/biostatisician/science-graduate in any way?

And you can get most of those measurements done at a recruiter's office, if you don't mind putting up with a couple of phone calls a month afterwards.

for christ sake stop raving on about BMI's. the poor guy said "What excercise can I do at home?"

Abs: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/715974/how_to_get_six_pack_abs_workout_routine_5/

Shoulders/Back: Pull ups, overhand or underhand grip. Underhand is for biceps and chest, overhand is more for lats and shoulders (Alot harder though).

Legs: Try learning how to do a single legged squat, or simply try push starting your car each morning, that's great for legs, just pushing a car about 50m.

Shoulders: Just grab a galon of milk and hold it by the handle and raise infront of you to just above shoulder height and don't jerk it. lol.

other than all of those, go to www.rosstraining.com and he's got heaps of diff ways to work out at home for cheap.

How the fuck is an underhand pullup a chest exercise? Please explain that to me; this should be interesting.

its not specifically made to target the chest. but it uses it more than an overhead grip does. Aside from the main driving msucle (in this case the back) the other two smaller muscle groups being used are the biceps and the chest.

go here if you don't believe me.
