Exercising

[Chaco]

So anyone here exercise?

Weights, running etc?

So just share what you do, if you do anything. And other s might want to do your workout.

So just share what you do, how many reps, and so on and so forth.

I'll post mine when I have time.

 

[Pas]

I ride everywhere. I don't have a car.

I also play netball once a week. I too thought it was girly as hell until my girlfriend dragged me into a game and now I love it.

That's about it though.

 

[Crazy_mofo213]

Well I do football and wrestling so I have to run and condition a lot.
Whenever I'm not doing any sports I often go to weight training after school and do the workout that they have set up so I won't get out of shape.

 

[PsychopathicEmus]

i bboy(breakdance).

lots of stretches, strength-building for holding freezes, and aerobic exercise for footwork and floorwork

 

[cheap_josh]

^That is awesome. Breakdancing is really cool, do you street perform?
Raquetball is my summer sport, it is exercise, but I actually play it because it's fun.
I do jog though.

Then I just sit on my rear during the fall until indoor track starts. Then I lift for shot.

 

[Red Hawk One]

I run cross-country/track. An average week during cross country looks something like this:
Monday: 5/7-mile road run.
Tuesday: 200m intervals, 30-40 reps
Wednsday: 4 mile road run
Thursday: 150m hills, 20 reps/race day
Friday: 3 mile road run
Saturday: Practice race courses/invitational meet
Sunday: Rest

I more or less do that every week; The only days I get off are Sundays, Christmas, and New Years.

raquetball: i wanna try that in college, looks like a lotta fun.

nah, i'm not very good at all: i just started maybe 4 months ago and i'm still getting basics down, thanks for your enthusiasm and interest =D

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

I usually do weights, run a mile, sit in the sauna, or play basketball

 

[~rh]

All I do is 50 pushups straight before I go to sleep and when I wake up, everyday. Nonstop , too. it works, and its a good motivator for starting the day as well.

 

[Kinzer]

ugh man I really got back into the gym...maybe when the school year starts again, which from this post is about a week or two.

Anyway when I did workout I would just benchpress a lot at home, then just run a lot in P.E.

That's what I did mostly but otherwise I would be working some other stuff around my body, you know like shoulders, abs, etc.

 

[1048576]

I play a lot of basketball. Does that count?

 

[kainsword]

I don't exercise. Does running up and downstairs considered exercise?

I live in a two story home, and I occasionally go downstairs just to get food or a drink of water. Other than that, my butt is usually glued to the chair in front of the computer screen...

I don't really have much of a motivation to exercise, really... Losing weight takes a lot of time and really I don't benefit much from it. Even if I do exercise and eat right for a year to get healthy, a thinner frame doesn't exactly help me on the computer, which I'm sure I'd glue myself onto again after achieving a lighter weight...

I'm 200 - 210 pounds and I'm 5'11.5 (I hate being half an inch off from 6'.) I guess I'm unhealthy. But I guess I don't really care much about my image.

 

[Zeruda]

I don't lift weights much anymore 'cause I don't have the money, so I just do a lot of the workout regimens I learned in the Army. I try to get as much cardio in as possible, but I really can't stand it. I like to walk a lot, but running just... it's tedious.

Lately, though, I've been trying to do more weight training than cardio, because I really need to gain some weight. Hopefully I can put on some muscle AND fat weight soon. I wanna get Wii Fit when I get the money, because it'll save me gym membership expenses, and it'll motivate me to exercise more.

 

[Mini Mic]

Well I used to play squash 5 days a week but I stopped that when I finished school so I thought I better join the local gym to stay in shape.

I go to gym 4 times a week and do:
1500 rowing machine
15 mins on the X trainer
3 different kinds of weight machines
arm curls
some other kind of arm thing I'm not sure of the name
bench press
about 30 push ups
50 sit ups at about a 60 degree angle
stretches

the 3 days a week I don't go to gym I ride my exercise bike for half an hour to an hour.

Oh and I walk everywhere.

I've been doing this for about 4-5 months and never felt better.

 

[Amide]

All I do is 50 pushups straight before I go to sleep and when I wake up, everyday. Nonstop , too. it works, and its a good motivator for starting the day as well.

That sounds like a good idea. I'll try that sometime, maybe I'll mix in some running in between.

 

[Tom]

i routinely travel around in watcher, and i practice kicking stuff ;3

 

[Talazala]

抬拳道! (Taekwondo if the chinese actually shows up.) Let me just say, it is a great feeling knowing that you can probably take down 87% of the people in your school. It truely is. I do play Basketball with my friends, but I think Taekwondo by itself does a decent job of keeping me fit.

 

[Yinlong]

martial art FTW

i do shaolin kung fu

 

[AzN_Lep]

Ugh... I run Cross Country/Track at the collegiate level and it's not fun. 90 mile weeks and weight training...

 

[xX Boezy Xx]

Well, I'm in the off season for Lacrosse right now, so I'm doing this Sports training program that focuses on everything from agility to weight training. It's twice a week and runs for about 2 and a half hours. I'm also at the gym at least 3 times a week, working on building more muscle.

Other than that, I play soccer with my friends, and in the Spring and Winter I'm playing Lacrosse constantly.

 

[GoldShadow]

Lift weights, bench and do pull-ups every other day, or whenever I have time. Occasionally, I run if I feel like it (though I'm not a big fan of running).

When I'm at school, I use the machines in the gym to work most of the upper body. I also play intramural soccer and flag football if I get the chance.

 

[Grunt]

I used to lift weights, but then i got lazy.

taekwondo is what i meant by practicing kicking stuff

but um

taekwondo is korean, not chinese

 

[riboflavinbob]

i excercise my thumbs by doing barrel rolls (Press R or Z twice)

 

[SirroMinus1]

Chamber punching & pushups FTW

 

[Killress]

I do football, soccer, basketball, and track. I run, and lift weights. Excercise is too fun.

 

[WiiManiac1]

I do BMX. I ride my bike for over an hour each day. It keeps me in pretty good shape.

 

[Aleol]

I fence. It requires your entire body, and Is beyond fun.

I also do 45 pushups, 90 situps, 45 squats, 45 curls, 45 shoulder presses, 45 tricep curls and run a mile or 2 everyday. woo hoo

 

[SkylerOcon]

I do a few push-ups and sit-ups everyday. I run once in a while as well.

Once track and field starts, though...

 

[Lavos]

I bboy now for probably only a few hours a week, but when I get back to college, I'll be doing 2-3 hours of practice 4-5 times a week.

Even though I'll probably be working out and moving around for 15 hours a week, I'll still feel like I'm not doing enough. I used to be a level 10 gymnsast and I would practice for 24+ hours a week. After doing that for a few years, I got this crazy idea that that's normal, so now I feel lazy if I practice for any time less than 3 hours.

 

[nakedsnake]

I'm on the tennis team for my school.

 

[DAGanmanert]

I play alotta sports usually, unless I cant for some reason..
I work out, free wieghts, bench press, treadmill, those bowflex type machines(lol) since there all in my basement. Home weight room ftw!
I walk everywhere,almost
And I sonwboard whenever I get the chance in Winter, Woot got my new board and alotta stuff :D

 

[OmegaXXII]

well if it's about my daily workout then it consist of mainly weight lifting, which I do on a daily basis for about an hour while lisnening tio my favorite tunes which always helps me concentrate, as well as running which I admit I don't do often, but whenever I feel like I need fresh air tha's when I most likely go out and run

^^^*fighting rant*^^^
taekwondo is nice and all, but u'll need more than kicks to win in a street fight. i was in taekwondo 7 years- blackbelt included, but its important to work on boxing, and grappling as well for more well-rounded resume of kickass.
Equally important, real fights are never fair. I'm humble to say I know a thing or two about fighting, but when i jumped in to save my friend from a robbery, it didn't stop 3 people to beat me to the ground at once- its important to know how to fight dirty as possible to, including using you're envirornment and knowing when you can avoid stuff all together.

======================
back to exercise:

i dont do much during summer, but i'm going to start up lifting weights casually this college semester as i always do. I'm not crazy strong, but i'm deffinately athletic as for as hardcore gamers go.
I was actually delightfully surprised today, for the first time in 3 months i tried getting a real workout, and i still got 16 reps of 135 lbs. (i weight 155, 6'). Obviously its because all my muscles are entirely fresh, so i dont expect to get that anytime soon now, but hopefully i can work back up to my max of 210.

I try to run 1 or 2x a week. Nothing crazy..anywhere from 1 to 3 miles, depending how i feel and hows the weather.

I submission/wrestle spar (victor by tapout, no striking) with some friends on occasion, which is awesome but we still pick up minor injuries here and there. Today i accidently elbowed my friend in the mouth while he was defending my mount.
The guys i spar with are much bigger than me (6'6 225, and 6'3 250?) so it makes me confident, in knowing that if i can go even with people that size, i'll have much easier times against people my own size.

QFT

I wrestle, but that won't do me any good in a real fight. I remember this one time a kid socked me in the jaw when I was walking out of school so I just slammed his face into a window and started bashing him. It's not the most honorable thing to do, but IMO there is hardly any honor in fighting now-a-days. (Excluding martial arts and sports involving fighting of course) Any guy can easily "win" a fight if he manages to pull a gun on you.

Well aside from that does anyone wrestle?

 

[Moy]

I usually go to the gym twice a week.

Elliptical for 50 minutes, then some arm work.

Once school starts, I'll have to ride my bike everyday, so that'll be good.

I actually did tae-kwon-do for a while, but stopped once I got my brown belt. Hard to get there, and half the people didn't want to be there anyway.

 

[Zanoske]

I make my P.E teacher force me to run laps.

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

I stopped at blue belt

and when it comes to the whole fight thing, aim low or get a bat

 

[Crazy_mofo213]

LOL

For motivation I take it?

Sorry, but "practice kicking stuff" doesn't signafy taekwondo in my head.

I wrote in chinese, cuz that's all I could do. I would have written in korean if I could, but alas, I can't. Chinese is the only language besides english this computer is capable of.

Say, did the chinese show up at all?
