Staying in Shape....

Right…how many of you consider yourselves in shape? For those of you who make physical fitness a priority, what types of activities do you participate in to build/maintain your fitness?

(This is not a dig at those who don’t want to be arsed with working out in some way…to each his or her own, eh?)

I walk to my bike and climb on. does that count? :stuck_out_tongue:

Unfortunately to stay in shape one needs to get off the bike and do something else.

:doze:

I go to the gym or play sports on the weekend.

Always a tough decision…esp when the weather is nice… Ride vs Workout.

I go to the gym.

I also take stairs instead of the escalator.

I reckon a good long ride on the bike is some sort of a workout, especially when the bike is quite heavy, or its very windy out.

I go to the gym most mornings before work ( i get up at 06:00!)

and really watch what i eat (no fried crap and no binge drinking)

I shag like a stallion and my pint-raising arm is in great shape…

:laugh: I feel sorry for Mrs T-1-K

I cant stand gyms, boring and monotonous. I tend to incorporate any fitness into day to day life, such as walking to school, riding my pushbike to work that kind of thing. Im also not lazy and do a lot of the work around the home such as re-decorating (as we are doing now) which is bloody hard work and I also used the jack hammer in my garden last year to dig up the old patio! I have a pic of that but im in a bikini as it was scorching, and i dont want to put anyone off their lunch! :hehe:

Who needs men :smiley:

I get out of my car and walk to the Donut shop:)

I bought some dumbells from ALDI a couple of weeks ago. Going through the “ouch I’m stiff” stage now!:wink:

Around 20 minutes in the morning and the same in the evening. A change from when I was doing 3 hours morning and 3 hours evening…

i go gym 4 times a week…

5 days at the gym and 8 hours a week in the dojo will do it for me.

got a groin strain at the minute tho’. :frowning:

Horizontal jogging with a 24 year old…
Umm, swim, cycle, gym, ride :wink:

Swim, can’t get the gym thing, did try. Doesn’t do enough though esp when the bike takes me to so many food shops like Poppins and Starvin Marvins, I’ve taken it back to the dealer but they say there’s nothing wrong with it :slight_smile:

Horizontal jogging, eh? You’ll be sure to let me know if/when you need a new workout partner…right? :stuck_out_tongue:

I used to hate going to the gym (and in spite of not going for two weeks) now I quite enjoy it because I feel better afterwards. It is dull though. So I do that twice a week and martial arts twice a week too (well, sort of twice a week).Sometimes I find the “can’t be arsed” syndrome kicks in all to much. I also eat badly so in spite of the exercise I wouldn’t say I’m in good shape :ermm:

Lol I think you just experienced the quote bug. I assume you tried to quote lusty. Sometimes it brings up the wrong post for some reason.

No chance finding me exercing, since the guy who started the jogging craze died while out jogging i thought thats dangerous and wont bother.

I do walk to the bike and car and then back to the door again.

So is that a photo of you in your avatar then? :stuck_out_tongue:

That`s what i espire to be one day, or is that what ginger looks like now.

I can see the channel four programme now “The half tonne biker” :slight_smile:
