going to the gym

Post Reply New Topic

how many folks here are or at least try to stay shape. I go to the gym. I like to run and swim. ride my bike. Try to eat healthy, even though sometimes I can't resist the bad food. I also do jui jutsu, a lttle boxing here and there. Have done kempo karate before.
I love exercising

I play football for my HS team, and I plan to play a lot more sports in the coming seasons.

I go to my local gyms (.5-3 mile jog) basically everyday, I lift weights and read fitness magazines.

I quit m@$turb@tlng about 8 months ago so I could have much more stamina, and it's helped a lot.

I haven't really been able to build on my progress because I've been skimping a bit on my commitments, but I eat pretty healthily, with quite low amounts of desserts and wastefuls foods and such.

Breakfast:cheerios w/milk or bagel
lunch:salad w/low-fat dressing,carrots, milk

random snacks throughout the day. fruits, greek yogurt, lentils, basically.

btw this site has a health, fitness, and sports section

Mastubating does not lower stamina. I knew a wrestler, who is now a marine, who had sex before every meet. He attributed that to why he did so well.

Are you starving yourself!?!

Yes it does. Proven stuff. Prolactin is released so testosterone effects are negated. Zinc reserves are also somewhat depleted.
Different strokes,different blokes.

Well my obsessive interest due to aspergers is weightlifting, so i pretty much know everything about the subject and how to train properly.

Some times i go in gyms and see personal trainer's and think.. My god they are hopeless.

But yeah staying in shape is great however i get that obsessed that if their is a storm ill still train because i cant miss a workout session or i feel very bad and depressed. (my gym is outside)

I walk a lot, ride my bike, do yoga and Tai Chi.

Would love to reintroduce climbing to my schedule, but have a problem with my shoulder, so maybe next life.

Agreed. There are tons of athletes who have a w*k or screw before a big match to improve their performance. Unless you are exploding out hulk size loads all day on a chronic masturbators level, you should not be losing enough "hulk juice" to make you any less hulk-like. I feel sorry for many of those who abstain from yanking their own chain or poking someone's woohoo spot, because they think it's going to make their stamina better. Poor guys...

Anyway, I used to be big into bodybuilding. I'm not anymore, there's too much focus on being a big sexy, what am I a male model, and not enough emphasis on overall athleticism. I really like to workout towards better endurance and speed now more than anything. Feeling light on the feet provides much better benefits than being musclebound with endurance not much better than a cigarette smoker. I'm still trying to experiment what's the best kind of diet to have. That's a hard one. I'm at odds with all of the special diets paleo, vegan, vegetarian, primal ect... They seem to go so in depth and each have conflicting information in each diet so I generally just aim for lots of vegetables, fat/carbs/protein.

I run 8 km four days a week and do a hill run one of those days, I live in a rural area so it's really peaceful and when the weather is crap, I use my treadmill and the gear in my newly acquired gym (I'm so spoiled) and in summer I enjoy a swim in our pool or if I have time at the beach. The weather here in my opinion is among the best in the world so exercising outdoors is the way to go. Most of my strength exercises come by way of my work, which is running a farm. Looking after myself is really important to me and I eat well and keep really fit or I wouldn't have the energy to be on the move all day every day... a farm doesn't switch off on the weekends.

I use to do hill runs, but i changed to mountain climbing its honestly the hardest cardio ive ever done, but of course the views make the climb worth it.

Agreed, the views are certainly worth it esp since it's all national park, all tall trees and at this time of the year the wildflowers are out, the colours are amazing, and the cardio is awesome, like climbing stairs for two km!! ! Best butt workout ever LOL
