What is your fitness regimen ?

I go to work, Im a floor/wall tiler thats plenty of exercise for me. :slight_smile:

Thanks for reading! Appreciate it, as it took me a while to type it :smiley:

What a tough guy! And he has the perfect attitude for the sport. He ought to have a blast in college—on and off the track. I didn’t have time for frats and partying like the other college kids, but I didn’t mind because A: there was a ton of work to do for classes, and B: when I wasn’t doing school work I would hang out with my T&F buds (on the track, in the WR, fieldhouse, cafeterias, shenanigans around Beantown, you name it). After Outdoor was over in June, we even got around to a little partying! We were truly blessed to live a life of schoolwork, working out, eating, sleeping and competing :party: 0:)

I, uh, get up, let the cats, out feed, them, scratch my backside, have a wash, feed mysels, put a finger up to the wind, determine if it’s going to rain or be howling wet, and dress accordingly. If it’s howling wet I dress appropriately for breakfast, and have a workout consistiing of fried bread, beans, eggs not over-easy, black pudding, chips, beans, more chips, more beans an chips an beans.
If it’s a decent day I’ll pull on my cycling gear and take a wander off out.
That’s it for the day - such a day happens every so often.
I’m fit as a flea, me.

Bicycling to and from work, daily year ’round; except maybe 10 days a year, when it’s just too rainy/windy. And 75+ push ups a day. That’s about it; should be more of a regimen though…

Great thread ....

I think I'll subscribe and get some ice cream and read...

Do video games count ?

Beans beans they're good for your heart ......

I hope so cuz i'm stating to really get into lentils :P

“Walking is man’s best medicine.”

“If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.”

Hippocrates

i usually grab a random training routine from youtube to try out…could be with or without weights…cuz its kind of boring to keep following the same old thing….other than that is mostly cycling for me

4 times a week ‘bodybuilding’ + abs = 8 hours
3-7 times a week cardio (15-60 minutes each session: biking/crosstrainer)

Push-ups, sit-ups, and a timed two-mile run. Throw in 5-6 heaves/pull ups. (ala APFT).

I go to the climbing gym several times a week, climb outside weather permitting (which is very seasonal around here) otherwise it’s hiking (in the mountains) and walking around a nearby in town lake.

“Of all the causes which conspire to render the life of a man short and miserable, none have greater influence than the want of proper exercise.”

British poet John Gay “Exercise thy lasting youth defends

Hippocrates 2,400 years ago

“That which is used develops; that which is not wastes away”

Cicero

“Exercise and temperance will preserve something of our youthful vigor, even into old age.”

I wrote up my program wrong.

Training weight is 80% of max.

Day 1: Chest. Overhead press a few sets, no warm up weights or ramping. Switch to bench, work up to training weight, then do sets of 8 over and over again until I feel like stopping. Do front, lateral and rear raise drop sets.

Day 2: Pulls. Pull ups, sometimes with extra weight, and keep doing sets until my injured elbow starts to hurt. Switch to single arm barbell rows. Work up to training weight and keep doing sets at that weight until I feel like stopping. Do shrugs with whatever weight my elbow feels okay with. Switch to curls. Once a week I'll do drop sets, and the other workout that week will just be a couple sets at training weight. Switch to forearm work using weighted engineers hammer, super gripper and a dumbbell.

Day 3: Leg curls, extensions and calf raises.


Most days I'll do a couple sets of curls, HIIT and a couple sets of overhead press. A couple times a week I'll do ab work and spend the time between sets using a foam roller and tennis ball.



This program is geared towards putting on muscle mass and keeping my metabolism high. The tape measure says it's working incredibly well.

before moving in with toni and having the kids, I had a rigorous training regime that resulted in an impressive right arm…… now I keep fit by dint of not being able to afford fatty food and chasing a pair of insane toddlers.

seen here plotting their next mischief.

I dug up this old thread of mine because there are a lot of new members since I posted it .

So how do you keep fit ?

I lift weights twice a week , run stadiums ( stairs ) , and bike .
I also play at least 18 holes of disc golf every weekend .
Actually the exact same routine I’ve had for 20 years .

How do you all stay in shape ?

Sign in my doctor’s office:
I have been hiding from exercise,
I’m in the fitness protection program.

Mainly jumping to conclusions and exercising poor judgment, but making sure to stretch the truth first.

I don’t have to do anything to stay in shape.

That shape being more or less a blob.

Daily walk seven brisk, hilly miles. I’ve logged 10,000 miles in the past four years.

I have invested much energy, time and money to become the pearshaped Adonus I’m today.
Only flaw that I can think of is that I’m built a bit asymmetrical.
I’m considering to grasp and hold every last can of a sixpak with my left hand.
