how often do you work out

Recommended Posts

I don't take any supplements and jog outisde 5-10 miles 3 times a week to keep me from being too much of a lardbutt. I'm 6ft 155lbs so I can't complain. No muscular build... just your boring average guy.

I do something every day or I feel lazy. When I'm training hard for triathlon season, which I will be all this winter, it seems like I don't do anything BUT work out. I used to lift 3-4 times a week also but I'm celebrating the fact that I never have to do another push up again so I've been way too slack about my upper body.

I've kind of have a similar problem. I prefer to do lower body exercise, mostly b/c I used to play football and I didn't need much upper strength. Now after all these years my legs are way out of proportion compared to what I have above the waist and looks kinda funny.

I try to do yoga every AM- but honestly some days I practically haveta roll outa bed & hit the floor running & I'm out the door! But in addition to AM yoga I try to get in a good bike ride at least a coupla times a week, too. And occassional rough-housing with my 7-year old can really be work out too!

I work out sporadically, but when I do I never take any type of hormone-like supplements....Its dangerous to screw around with your natural hormone levels & excessive use can cause mood swings, hair loss, liver damage, and > GENITAL ATROPHY!!:oI like my 'nads to stay where they are, thank you!

Creatine is different, of course, b/c it has nothing to do with hormones.

And it ACTUALLY WORKS!!! In fact it was the ONLY supp I ever tried that actually did have a huge effect on my lifting. Now, the bad part.....don't expect to run anywhere after taking creatine. All that extra water weight REALLY slows you down.

Normally, I hit the gym 3-5 times a week. These days? Errrgh, nope. Been a long long time away, and I have to get back. I have no excuse, the office where I work is only two blocks away from two different gyms. I used to cycle 2-3 times a week, too, but my bike was run over and I haven't bought a new one. Other things to spend my money on... gear, jumps, beer...

Fortunately, my skydiving diet has kept me from gaining weight. I've actually lost a bit this summer. It's a great diet: If I'm jumping, my appetite vanishes and doesn't come back for 2 or 3 days. No matter how hungry I get, I can't eat much at all!

I have big intentions on getting a gym pass again, and also getting back into jiu-jitsu over the winter. I've been feeling slugish lately.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

My dad is 84. He works out every day. Until his eyes went really really bad (as opposed to just legall blind), he rode his bike 5 miles a day too. He can do anything he wants to.
Maybe I should take a page from his book????

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

wish my diet would work the same way...



It's mostly a result of my stomach turning to lead as soon as I decide to jump, mixed with rampant adrenaline. The best appetite suppresor I've ever had!:D

I usually run before work (about 3 miles) and then, after a morning with the boss, I need to bike at lunch. That man has taught me to understand how work place violence occurs. Use to do more, but thanks to military medical, my knee should need it's second operation anytime now.

Andros? I thought that was a Greek isle where women sunbathed topless? Which will also help those working on their hard bodies.
Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
