Sports & Fitness Anybody into Bodybuilding, Weight Training and Fitness, Get in Here!

Now that i'm about to be bloody rich (old ppor went up $230 per day (~$80k+ per year since i've owned it in 2008 ), I might just rejoin the contours gym....
Home sale cooling off period finishes Monday or Tuesday....

 

Fixed that for you. No one gives a $4!t about property in this thread, so why make it about you?

Given your legit time poorness, I'd put most of your focus on changing what you're eating too much of. Kill carbs.

Won't require more time.

Will produce results.

 

Just gotta start small and get consistent.
It's always difficult to get momentum going when coming from an untrained state.
The key is to simply get your body moving and active.
Jump on a rower or another full body exercise and ease into it just 5 mins a day until your body adapts, then increase time and intensity gradually. You will naturally want to do more and more as you adapt, won't have to force it.
Exactly the opposite of what they do in The Biggest Loser, that's a road to failure.

 

I know, but where do you download the motivation for it?
1st step is finding a running track to measure the baseline I suppose.

 

I still train a few times a week - weights, riding etc. But a far cry from the Mr Fitness that I was.

 

Map my run is great, or local Parkrun (variety of runners and levels completing 5km's each weekend)

 

My friend used a running thing for his bike ride, not as accurate but better than nothing I suppose.
I'll take a looksee.

 

The road to Berlin continues.
My training program had me down for a half marathon today and as luck would have it the Sandy Point Half Marathon was also today.
The aim was for a 105-110 minute run, ran a 107min with the return back into a 15/20 km headwind but still had a negative split and felt strong all the way.
Happy with a 3rd in my age group.

 

I was big on the gym in my younger days.
Was in the army 4 years ago. At that point I weighed 88kg.
Before army I weighed 99kg.
Now I weigh 93-94kg, watch my diet, go to the gym 2-3x a week (have lost motivation recently)

 

I'm all over the place at the moment, so not going to my regular gym to weigh myself on the same set of scales.
Weighed yesterday at someone's house, but not sure how accurate they were.

 

Great thread. I'm into fitness in general but running is my main thing... short distance(5-6kms) these days for the lack of time to do long distance even though is do a few longish runs (10-15kms) over some weekends. Been doing it for many years now and it's just a part of the working day for me but i haven't raced in almost three years after a motorcycle accident put me off for a few months...
I keep it pretty simple, day one I do a 5km run(times range between 18minutes to 24minutes depending on levels of energy/food intake/rest during the week),day two i do weights(not in bodybuilding manner but more to complement running and good posture) and day three is abs/core day. Rinse and repeat! No exceptions or excuses.

I always make an effort and always introduce a new challenge every now and then to keep things interesting. These days i'm having a crack at the Dragon flag. Toughest core exercise i've ever tried to do and still not there yet but getting there!

And obviously eating well is the biggest part of it all!

 

An oldie but a goodie.
Anyone tried this workout:

 

Calisthenics is super hard and are probably the best exercises for core stability and strong abs!

 

Some of the stuff they're doing looks really hard.
But looks like it works!

 

I been doing GST - gymnastics strength training the past 6 months.
A really good natural form of training and got developed abs now for the first time in my life after 40 too.
I find this to be a much more true way of training than lifting purely for aesthetics.
This way you can have functional performance and aesthetic gains at the same time.

 

Hi Ace

This..



Very fit chick here

 

18 minutes for 5k is pretty impressive!

 

Damn, that Zuzka chick got the best serratus ever !!!
Not to mention her other assets

 

What are some of your personal bests?

Mine are:

5km: 17.07
10km: 36.37
21.1: 1.21
42.2: 3.23 (This was on the back of an Ironman as Ive never run a marathon competitively. ~3.10 as a training run).

I was never a super fast runner, just able to hold my own. When I was doing Triathlons, I always went as hard as I could swim/bike and start of the run. Sometimes it paid off....and sometimes I spectacularly blew to pieces! Fun times!
