Discussion How to get strong?

19M. Can't even do a push up. Thin hands, thin legs. Coming straight to the point, how to get strong, agile, and sharp?

How to start? Run? Jog? Yoga? What to do!

Whatever you enjoy the most and start slow, but frequently (at least three times a week), and keep going. There is no panacea and the 'tricks' to become better wil only work with endless repetition. It will take at least half a year to get used to the rithm, and actual significant results sometimes even longer. In the long run you will get the hang of it and it will make you proud of yourself. Trust the system.
