excercise...
 
this is kinda a dumb thread, but im just wondering what people like to do to stay fit and healthy? me, ive always been kinda thin and lean not from hitting the gym, which i do sometimes, but more or less because i have the attention span of ann add 5 year old being force fed ritalin and boundless energy. im just always moving, the only times i sit around are early in the morning and late at night, when im playing/listening to music, watching movies, reading, etc.. but for excercise, i like to run, bike, swim, row, skateboard, shoot hoops, play no rules tackle football (which i snapped my collarbone doing in november), and ive also just started taking tae kwon doe which is sorta neat learning what pressure points will hurt some big fratboy jock the most. i hate lifting weights though, despise it, pushups and shit work just as well. so yeah, dumb thread indeed, but if you wish to divulge your favorite methods of excerise, go right ahead...

i love love to lift weights. it's my favorite thing at the gym. i hate cardio, but i do it. i usually do the arc trainer which is similar to an ellipitical, but it burns way more fucking calories so i just gotta. i can burn like 900 calories in 45 minutes. that's burns FAR MORE cals than running.

I ride the exercise bike for 40-45 minutes 5 days a week. Not drinking 60 beers a week has really been working well for me too.

i like to do push ups and crunches. i usually drink too much soda and eat bad, but i try to be a good vegetarian and eat heathly, but chips are so easy to find and open up, same with soda. i skateboard every so often and i want to buy a bike and go biking on a trail. i play basketball and tennis sometimes too.

I like walking and hiking. I don't do it enough. I attribute it to the woods near where I live being boring. The nearby state park is beautiful though. I wish I lived right next to it. I'd walk several miles a day and climb rocks and shit.

I know....my drinking has been really out of control for the past 8 or 9 years though. It does a hell of lot more bad than good for me, plus it's really time for me to grow up.

butbutbut.. it's so good. haha 8 or 9 years. seriously. i know what you mean. i would be best served to just let it go, but then what will i do?

krastian 02.21.2008 12:10 AM

I know, right?! I'm thinking about painting and doing mixed media shit again....gotta do something new. I haven't really done much art in a long ass time. But yeah, the days of me being a drunk really need to end and will. I haven't bought a pack of cigarettes in a year though!!


Not to get all Dr. Phil or anything.


PS - I have always hated push ups.

uhler 02.21.2008 12:22 AM

i like push ups and i have weak arms. i can only do like 25 at a time and then i have to rest one minute and do another 20-25 and so on.

krastian 02.21.2008 12:25 AM

Also, playing drums at the power and speed of a thousand ninjas is great exercise as well.

pantophobia 02.21.2008 12:49 AM

been using weights for the arms, some abdominal exercises that have a lot of resistance for the midsection, and squats for the legs

not exactly balanced

uhler 02.21.2008 01:26 AM

i know people on here are exercising to look like rollins

I play squash on Wednesday and go to gym to do some work out on Sundays. Been doing that since the beginning of this year and it made me feel much better. I still have beer belly though.
