Gabrielle Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 How many are into the health and nutrition? Workout? It's been a while since I have been to the gym. I used to workout 4-5 times a week to stay in shape when I used to dance. Lifting light weights and aerobics was a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowtrain Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I work out 2 hrs a day 6 days a week plus I eat mostly spinach and oranges. Weird, huh. People think I'm a freak. But I'm a healthy freak! ANd I play computer games. EVen weirder. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

LadyCrimson Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I used to bicycle/hike/dance (ballroom) a lot, but the older I get the more it takes to keep the balance and I've been sliding, particuarly since I've never been one for regulated exercise and the computer does nothing for cardio. heheh I'm not a nutrition health nut but I do try to balance things out in that area, especially as I age. I still binge on 'bad' foods more than I'd like, tho. :D “Things are as they are.

Judge Hades Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I am in terrible shape. I have tried to lose weight and the such but it never stays off. I am overall not a well motivated person. Then again nothing much motivates me to do anything nowadays anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf16 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I do nothing, eat little, and remain rail thin. At night, I can feel my internal organs nibbling on eachother... :ph34r: I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrielle Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 My flexibility sucks. I can't do the splits anymore. My ex was into lifting weights, he was a big boy. I couldn't even dream of lifting the weights he did. I also found working out as a good stress releaser. That would be another motivating factor to get back into it.

LadyCrimson Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 My back is giving me too many problems to do anything very strenuous these days. Sucks. I"ve been trying to combine photography with long walks tho, it helps some. I hate public gyms. It's not embarassment...I just don't like people and staring at 4 walls while on a machine. Not to mention, being hit on all the time. :angry: Never tried an all-female gym tho. “Things are as they are.

Kor Qel Droma Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm about as consistant as rain when it comes to exercising and eating right. I go through phases where I'm a total health freak ( minus the smoking of certain substances ) to phases where Dairy Queen is my best friend. I'm currently contemplating signing up for a new gym in town, but I'm tempted to wait until February until all the New Years people get bored and quit. And LC, you should really invest in a MP3 player. I find them very helpfull at the gym. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazikatt Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm into fitness and health... though I've been a slacker lately. They just opened a new gym in the building next door to my work now though so I'm excited to get back into it. Just went to the gym this morning. YAY! It felt really good to work out again. But I agree... I don't like it when people try to talk to me while I'm trying to work out (unless I already know them and they're just saying hi). My baby girl arrived 6/16/06!

LadyCrimson Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'll still take a good bike ride or hike through a hilly park over riding an exercycle in some mirrored room. Tho of course I know some people live in a areas where that's not really feasible. And I do have portable music players...it still doesn't keep me from being bored & counting the minutes in a gym. Not everyone is that into music. “Things are as they are.

moreKOTORplz Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I am in terrible shape. I have tried to lose weight and the such but it never stays off. I am overall not a well motivated person. Then again nothing much motivates me to do anything nowadays anyway. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you sound depressed man . go get a pair of good running shoes and do 4 days a mile each (light jog) and curtail some junk food (its insane how much you can gain from a stupid bagel and the evil cream cheese). i use to be all super motivated and went to the gym 3hrs a day 5 days a week then i got married . gained like 15 pounds because i stopped regular exercise and i lost all of that just by a mile a day 4 days a week at like 50% pace and cutting down on the food. i got pretty down during that time too, but i'm back exercising like 4 days a week 2hrs a day and i feel a lot better mentally/physically.

Delta Truth Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'd say it getting started again that is the hard part ! When you are in a grove its easy to go all the time or even twice a day but don't have that much free time anymore.. I seen to go in phases as well , 7-8 months strongth the rest lazy as nails But I am contemplating starting again this weekend - My gym pass is still valid until end of feb.. The food part I find way harder to do .. Being a hard gainer- I had to eat tonnes and drink lots of those shakes to put on weight but once you stop you lose it again .. But I suppose it more about balance now eating fruits and vegs with the meats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianw Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I have tried heavy weight lifting but soon gave up. The pump feels great but recovery is too much of a pain in you-know-what to worth it. Also when I eat too much protein I fart, so now I only do cardio and push-ups to stay in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure79 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm into fitness. My diet is mostly asian food the majority of which is rice and vegetables and roots cooked someway or another with the occasional meat dish thrown in, so I don't really worry if I'm eating healthy or not. I usually try to get to the gym at least 3 times a week, more if I'm able. I don't want to be all muscular so I do about an hour of cardio and lift moderate weights/work on my back and abs for about an hour. Then I stretch a lot when I get home. Never underestimate a good stretch session is what I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I go to a gym three times a week, I play hockey during winters, beachvolley during summers and winters (inside). Whenever I want to go somewhere I ride my bike, no matter the distance (within reason). I'm not that interested in food, but my girlfriend keeps me healthy enough.

Diamond Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Muay Thai 2-3 times a week (1-2 hours), but my health still suffers from bad habits (irregular sleeping time, spending too much time in front of the computer). I don't have any diet and eat whatever and whenever I feel like and still stay pretty thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it isn't absolutely no motivation. personally, i play soccer. per week i have 2 practices, an indoor game, and an outdoor game. i enjoy soccer, so the health benefits are very welcome, since it lets me pierce two fish with one spear (i felt like making a variation of the birds and stones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Well, posting here is a habit I have gotten into and I always play some sort of game.

Hurlshort Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 LadyCrimson, if you're having back pains, I'd highly recommend going to a massage therapist. Not a relaxation massage, but a sports massage. A good therapist can really help relieve that pain. I go once a month, and it keeps me from slowing down on the hockey rink.

dufflover Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) I jog a lap of the nearby park 3 to 4 times a week. I only do one lap because I'm lazy (not that long either, only 3.2km). and no, it's not an idiosyncrasy (sp?) because I'm not bothered doing more than 1. Occasionally I'll lift a 4kg dumbell I found in the house while watching the news but that's next to useless fitness wise - I just can't sit still.
