Do you work out? If so, what is your routine?

[lad]

I do between 10 and 15 minutes of weights before hitting the hay, and cycle at least a mile some days (not every), if I feel like it. Wheely-boarding counts too, I suppose.

I should really get a gym induction.

Edit: My weight is between 9 and 10 stone (yes, I know I'm lighter than paper). Fuck knows how tall I am, maybe 5'10" or 5'11".

 

[derek]

Steve and I have talked about this extensively!

Four days a week I run 45 minutes, and three days I visit the gym for weights. Usually split into upper/lower and then super sets until failure.

I'm about 5'11" and around 170/80 pounds.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I stretch for no less than 20 minutes every morning followed by a routine of 60-80 sit ups, 40-50 push ups. I run 2-3 times a week and I play drums for at least 2 hours a day normally. 3-4 times a week (normally) I left weigths at home, mostly focusing on the upper body (I could kill a man with my legs already).

Im 5'11" and about 150 lbs, although I would like to bulk up a little more. I have very very little body fat because of my exercise routine and fast metabolism. Not to mention my work can quite often be back breaking labor.

Running is great. Push ups and sit ups a great, too.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

will and i are both keeping each other in check as far as the whole exercize thing goes.

i've started going to my school's gym. i'm just starting to exercize so i'm not doing anything major - i spend about a half an hr give or take there alternating on the stair climber, spinerette bike, some of those weight lifting things for arms or legs, doing sit-ups, etc.

also, doing tae-bo with a girl i know who thinks that it's better than the gym. did that once that she was able to for about 40 min, then went to the gym. trying to do it every day for the rest of the year, that she can.

the work-out's kinda weak as of now, but i've noticed that i am getting in better shape. i don't get totally winded when i walk up all the flights of stairs on my school's campus, or to my friend's apartment, so i guess that's an improvement. also trying to eat more healthy.

that stupid Ab Lounge that Peter Brady is whoring on tv actually is worth buying, hiking almost everyday, and man when I look at pictures of myself from 2003 I can't even deal with it 'cause I was such an out of shape hopeless drunk, and as a plus I think I had 3 or 4 chins.... hmm bad joke there somewhere

 

[Karmic]

yeah but you were actually young then

 

[Ryan VH]

Goddamn I'm one skinny mother fucker then. I'm 6 foot and 145 pounds. I eat a shit load and now that I'm done with my shoulder surgery recovery I'm going to the gym 2-3 days a week.
Every day I go I do different ab work outs
One day I'll do leg work and the other I'll do upper body.
I always go on the tredmil for about 5 minutes at 2.6 speed as a warm up.
Since I had shoulder surgery I have to stretch out my shoulder big time.

 

[Sentient 6]

yeah but you were actually young then

correct me if I'm wrong but don't people usually get fat and out of shape the OLDER they get Einstein?

 

[Ryan VH]

Yep they do. My dad was the same as me when he was my age and now he has a fucking beer belly that fatty. I always make fun of him for it ^_^

 

[Karmic]

correct me if I'm wrong but don't people usually get fat and out of shape the OLDER they get Einstein?

you are living proof of the opposite!

 

[Metal head87]

I haven't really worked out in over a couple of years (I do some cardio and lift some weights, but it's not the same as I used to do when I was like 16). I used to use protein shakes (around 200g of protein every day) and creatine supplements. You can get big pretty fast with it, but if you stop working out, you lose a lot of the mass. I lost like 20 pounds in one year after I wasn't working out.
The supplements will also make your face break out if you have skin problems.

Now, I'm like 5'9 and a little less than 160

 

[Vincent J.]

From the start of this schoolyear (end August) I got used to doing sit-ups right after I woke up.
I started with 100 sit-ups in two sets (50 each set) and worked up to 150 (sets of 100 and 50).
I got out of routine 'cause I broke my finger two weeks ago (no, there is no logic in that ;P), but I'll start again like tomorrow.

I kind of neglected my arms because they are/were ahead of the rest of my body, but I get enough training for those during playing drums.
Still I have my moments where I just go doing exercises for an hour or so (sit-ups, push-ups, rope-jumping, dumbles)

btw: From child on I've been doing exercises; one of my ideals was having a well trained body, hehe

Oh, and I'm around 1m94 (6'5" that is I think) and weigh 80 kg (sorry, don't know this in pounds)

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

im a certified personal trainer, will.....email me with any questions if you are interested.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

if anyone wants to do an absolute killer workout, try this:

shoulders and back supersets:

wide grip pullups till failure followed immediately by standing military press. Do this 4 sets of 8 or 10 reps each for the MP. 1 min rest inbetween sets.

3 min rest after completion.

bent over rows followed immediately lateral raises or butterflies

front raises with a 45lb plate followed immediately by DEAD LIFTS.


do that workout and tell me how u feel in the morning.


im gonna stop conventional lifting cuz ive done it for so long and start doing crossfit.....expensive as fuck, its 100 bucks a month but it's supposedly fucking awesome. mark twight, (www.gymjones.com) the guy who trained the cast of 300 to get them in that shape, started out with crossfit.

cant wait to get that started.

 

[Vincent J.]

i go to gym 4-5 times a week, each day different part of the body..
for example monday legs
tuesday biceps + chest
thursday triceps+back
saturday shoulders+abdominals+calves

but whatever you do, to have some results you need to be persistant on a long term basis, not expecting, like a miracle within 2 months...
offcourse, besides working out, you should eat properly...high protein food, low carb and more "good" fats...
if you have weight problem, you should lower your carbs intake, and higher protein+fats (i know this sounds ?? but fatty acids can be your "friends" in diet if you don't take them with carbohydrates).offcourse, the "good" fats which are, omega3, nuts, olive oil, linnen oil..and so on...less animal fats, and fats from milk and stuff
carbohidrates higher your insuline level, and when insuline is high, ...now my english is not good...errrm... let's just say..you get fat becouse it transfers the food much faster through the blood..errrm...yes.
so you should base your calorie intake on "good" fatty acids + protein
if you eat carbs, you should eat wholegrain...and stuff...

errm..am i talking too much..uuups..


if you wanna know more...ask...i'm into this stuff

You sound like you know of things

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

no. ten sit ups, take a two minute breather. ten more, breather. although you could make it fifteen or something. and you do that about five times. or four. whatever.

also, Pavel Tsatsouline. read his stuff if you can. i read power to the people and it is GREAT. he's like some sort of russian soviet motherfucker and it's just fun AND educational to read.

a two minute rest after 10 sit ups? hahaha c'mon

 

[perniciosa]

correct me if I'm wrong but don't people usually get fat and out of shape the OLDER they get Einstein?

I think you're wrong. Some do, but majority stays the same or even lose weight drastically. People over 55 have in average three chronical deseases which usually means different combinations of pills and stuff and they usually get skiny because of interactions of different chemicals in metabolism. It of course depends on their metabolism and lifestyle. Old people are usually devided in two groups: active and passive. Passive are those who decide that afret retirement there is no use of them anyway and don't do much, they usually lay on couch all day long and expect to be taken care of. Those get fat or dye from other reasons pretty soon (few years). Active are the ones who always want something to do, togo for walks or to play cards and are never bored. I'm spending quite a lot of time with old people latey in home for the aged and in the hospital too and I came to the conclussion that much more active old people.
Ok, I'm way of topic now...

I don't have much time to work out. I do have a very dynamic lifestyle lately tough, I run around in from one side of Ljubljana to another dayly trying to get from one clinic to other and to work and to school... I try to go to the hills once a week too.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

a two minute rest after 10 sit ups? hahaha c'mon

i was doing them on an incline. and honestly, after a week of that, i threw out my midsection so bad i could barely get out of bed.

and i'm just stressing the point between reps and sets.

Will, add some type of weight training in at least a few times a week. Crunches and sit-ups are good but remember your abs are a muscle too and if you work them every day they will grow...just like training your arms or legs. Cycle them into your training just like any other body part. To start I'd suggest doing some upper body stuff on one day and then lower the next training day. Use the old circuit training routine to start and you can get both the weights and cardio stuff done at the same time until you design a plan that works for you. The speed of your weight training cycle can really get you into shape on it's own but other stuff such as hiking, tread-mill, hitting a heavy bag, whatever, can really help for sure. Try this three times a week to start so you don't burn yourself out and/or get sick of it too soon. Most people quit within the first few weeks. If you're looking to lose weight keep in mind the best time for the body to burn calories is right after waking up. A great site to check out for routines on just killer cardio/getting in shape stuff is www.rosstraining.com. He has awesome on-site videos and also great articles for training at home and using basic stuff to get into shape. I've weight trained for years and since adding some of his stuff in on "off" days I've noticed a huge difference. I'll stop now, this is getting long but I'm happy to help out if you have more questions.
