I just started working out in the lat few weeks...been working my uperbody mostly because i have really turned skinny...stopped eating for some reason my brother made my work out program...and i work out for about an hour 3 days a week...i skinned out alot....but ya trying to get myself back into shape...


but honestly the best shape i was in was back when i used to breakdance when i was a kid., i was cut back then now im just skin and bones =(

you can see vivid boy working out in his avatar on the left jk

I work out about once or twice a week

3-4 times a week.
I try for no longer than 1 hr. / 1.5 hr tops.
I usually start with something aerobic like a X-trainer (less stress on your knees as apposed to running on the treadmill) for about 20-40 min. depending on how much time I have.
Then I'll either do upper or lower usually ending off with some ab work.
I've lost over 10 pounds since the beginning of the year and keeping it off.
I'd like to loose another 10 or so which will put me around 180. (I'm just under 6ft; something stupid like 5'11 and a little bit )
The hardest part is watching what I eat. I drastically changed my eating habits since I'm not 20 anymore and my metabolic rate has slowed. I don't starve myself; that's just wrong and only tells your body that it's starving and will slow your metabolic rate right down to store fat.
I do have the occactional 'cheat' day though where I eat what I want.
It's been a slow process for me but that's ok.
I'd rather take it off and keep it off permanently rather than loose a whole bunch of weight and then gain it back just as fast. That would be pretty disheartening.
I guess the main thing I could tell anyone about what I've learned it to be consistant.
It's a waiting game sometimes, but the results will come.
Just in time for summer!

I do mountain biking only mountain biking in the summer...And wieght training in the winter.... Kinda balances things out for me...I get really skinny at the end of the summer from all the biking...then add on the punds in the winter with the weights...lol

My personal trainer says not to do that...but fuck it...She dosen't know the joy of mountain biking in one of the most beautiful countries in the world

hey i am a personal trainer so if u need certain excercises for a certain muscle i can hook u up

greetz

I excerise by using my right arm to lift pints and the rest of my body has its own cardio routine

My six-pack comes from spewing after a fucking hard night out

Originally posted by IronDragon I'm just curious how many of you people work out on a regular basis (more than 30 minutes, 3 times a week). and if so what kind of exercise do you do? Thanks, Dave

apart from this week - i have been lazy- I usually run about 35-50 miles a week, I sometimes weightligft -have not done recently

I run marathons, 3 up to now, 2x Euro-Marathon in Frankfurt, 1x Hong Kong Marathon, best time 3:27:18 in HK this February..
I used to fence 3x week, but have had to cut that sort for more running time..

I do ~ 200 crunches every night...

since other people posted their weights:
I am 6'1" and weight usually between 157 - 165 lbs

right now is track season for our school and im on the team....im a thrower....(shotput, discus, and maybe javelin) we have practice 6 days a week which starts out with running, stretches, pushups, and either crunches or gutkillers...then we do the event stuff which is just throwing drills and throwing and sometimes sprints yadda yadda....just about every other day...or when its crappy out we go to the wieght room and lift.....my routine consists of

Squats 2 sets 10 reps 235lbs
Cleans 2 sets 5 reps 135lbs
Bench 2 sets 10 reps 155lbs
lat pulldowns 2 sets 6reps 170lbs
curls 2 sets 10reps 85-100lbs
Military press 2 sets 10 reps 135lbs
lat pullovers 2 S 10R 135Lbs
Tricep Ext 2S 10R 100Lbs
Incline Press 2S 10R 135Lbs
Leg press 2S 10R 245Lbs
Leg Ext 2S 10R 200lbs
Leg Curls 2S 10R 140Lbs

i do most of this if not all on avg about 3 times a week...since im a thrower i do alot of explosive leg stuff (squats, cleans(i love these), and leg press).... been doing this for about three weeks and its really paying off..ive lost 10lbs so far and put on a bunch of muscle

yah..i work out 4 times a week, regularly since december. Weightlifting of course. About 1-1.5h a day, depends on what I do that day.

I work out quite often,
right across the street from us, IronDragon!(FAR)
it's quite a good gym, just do some cardio, and then lift.

cheers
Ilina

Ilina,

I prefer to workout at WIMPE. Its nice and compact, not as much stuff but less crowded than IMPE (WAY TOO CROWDED!). Never tried FAR. Maybe I will one of these days.
