Working out?

I've recently started playing Squash 2-3 times a week and I'm surprised at how fit I feel already. Really competitive with the guy I go with as well, we're both winners and hate to lose. :p

 

If I'm not playing Squash I'll either jump on the treadmill for a bit at home or lift some weights. Nothing serious, just pass the time for half an hour or whatever. Looking into buying a workout setup off a friend.

Squash is good man. Makes you work heaps.

My New Year's resolution was to do some form of exercise every day, and I've been fairly successful so far. I have a horse I ride 2-3xs/wk; do weights on my "Crossbow" (like the "BowFlex"); work out with my virtual trainer, Maya, on the Xbox; and try to jog everywhere I go instead of walk, including in my house. Jogging around my house actually got me prepped to get back into a workout routine! I feel much better, and my riding instructor says it shows in my lessons. Highly recommend exercise to anyone having trouble with depression such as I.

Yeah, I was hanging off the back of a mitsubishi l200 the other week and jumped off it at about 30-35mph.

 

Longstory cut short, I would have got be-headed by a car park height barrier if i hadn't jumped, and Im now sitting here with a severly bruised elbow, and obviously it hurts.

 

But y'know just soldier on lol

I go 4-5 times a week. I focus alot on running since I got a new found love for running 5Ks. I do resistance lifting after and want to start strength training. I've recently list 66 pounds since October 2010, want to lose another 25 and stay active and fit.

I use to work out all the time in High School, but not so much now in University. I'm thinking of taking some Martial Arts sometime this summer, assuming I'll get a good work out from it. (Anyone know?)

 

Hell, yeah! I used to do Judo, Tae Kwan Do, Karate and Aikido. They were all great workouts!! My favorite was Aikido. Loved the idea of redirecting negative energy.

I exercise everyday except Sunday. I weight train Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I do cardio Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. With summer approaching I'll eventually get swimming into my routine. I currently go to my local YMCA where it's $40 a month but that covers me, my wife and my 2 children... so basically $10 for me each month which is super cheap IMO.

 

Working out is just half the battle though, you need to follow a healthy diet too if you want to see real results.

I am pretty athletic...so if anyone needs any workout advice, I can certainly help out.

I'll take you up on that offer :) What does a typical day in the life of someone like yourself involve? I mean, I try to get to sleep at half ten and wake up for half six everyday (I'm failing lately because I'm so ill and sleep is nigh on impossible), and I really do want to start some sort of cardio into my day, ready for the summer (whatever that is...)

Been a few threads like this - but I'm a gymaholic, I love working out. I used to be a porker in school, but once outta school I lost the weight and enjoyed fitness.

 

I have a home gym - bench press, treadmill, bike, latpull down, preacher curl. Along with programs such as P90x or Kinect. There is also a place in adelaide called the snake pit - its a beach hill run, a lot of the police train thru it and sporting clubs, I go there once a week for a run.

 

My awesome boyf is a ice hockey player, so sometimes I'll train with him and his mates doing their program, pretty hard stuff and a little scary- i just don't like it when they pick me up and start bench pressing me. -.-

 

I don't wanna become a body builder kinda girl - that looks male =/ .. but i like the toned muscle body, getting there :) any ladies want advice I'm always willing to help, i have few friends i've been helping lose weight/tone up feel free to contact me :)

I used P90X when I lived with my sister in Boston and completed the 'Lean' series, got really toned and muscular. Since I moved back home I don't have access to the DVDs anymore but I've been in touch with a friend of mine that is a Personal Trainer and he made a routine for me so its just as good, plus the routine is more orientated to my own body so I get more out of it than P90X. This is the basic setup I have now:

 

Monday - Arms/ABS

Tuesday - Legs and Back

Wednesday - Cardio/ABS

Thursday - Shoulders and Chest

Friday - Forearms and Calves/ABS

Saturday - Cardio or Yoga

Sunday - Off

 

I do whey protein after every workout and I'm doing great, never miss one if I can help it. I also sometimes bike instead of doing my Cardio tape on that day or go for a hike, even if I have already worked out. <3
