that looks brutal

 

hand stand push ups :ohmy:/>

[dave]

Swimming.

 

4 times a week, half hour sessions.

[Molby]

did personal training on the beach today

 

in the boxing/pads part, the f***** was hitting me back whenever I dropped my guard; nobody told me about that part

 

 

what's that you say? "well keep your guard up then"

 

YOU try not dropping your hands after 4 x 3 minutes of throwing punches constantly

[Moose]

Nothing, I'd like to but I'm too self/body conscious to join a gym, run or go swimming.

[whitewidow]

Running 5 miles every other day, bit of swimming and sky high stress levels.

[Benzo-13]

Sprint intervals and course of weights, less salt and sugar = sorted.

[Molby]

are there any rags-to-riches/comeback stories here?

 

inspiring tales of fatties becoming ripped in a few weeks is what I'm after

 

this personal training thing is a winner; am doing stuff I could never do on my own and it's H.I.T. all the time, which works fast

on the down side, I'm made to look like a chump for most of each session

There was a recent publication about (a small number, I think about ten men) who were put on 300cals a day and walked 8 hours a day. They lost about 5kg each and a year later had only put on I think just left than half of it again - which is actually a very good result in this field.

yep, all you need to do is starve yourself and do nothing but walk all day :wacko:/>

f*** that, go for it. Besides, there'll be loads of divs like Molby about to draw peoples attention.

[Crazy Horse]

Think I'll go with the radical "eat less and excerise more" strategy this year.

[BG]

Yep. Eat less. Move more.

 

Genuinely surprising too that they kept off more about half the weight they lost in four days over a year later. Diets - especially of the dramatic sort - almost never show that people keep off any weight over a decent period.

 

 

To be fair there was quite a bit more to the study too in terms of effects on insulin sensitivity, glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol levels, leptin level, effect on cortisol etc etc etc

[Barnesy_10]

I do the 7 minute work out app on my phone every day

and go running

 

also cut down on some junk food and have dried fruit and porridge every day

 

I wasn't unfit to begin with... but could just do with shifting a bit of paunch

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

running. Just ran brooklyn half in 1:30.01 - 2secs from breakng 1.30....

 

but getting really sore f***ing toes above 8.5mi right now.

 

Back to footy next week too after tearing a ligament in my thumb in March

[Tosh]

Going with a simple "Sweat. Every day"

 

Ran today and Tuesday, Rowing machine yesterday. Track cycling Wednesday, Bike Rollers on Monday and tomorrow I am doing 100km on the bike.

Not so long that I can't get out of bed and do something tomorrow. Absent a specific goal which is what I've used in the past to get me moving (eg training for a marathon) I am trying to go with the target of something daily

[Molby]

f*** that, go for it. Besides, there'll be loads of divs like Molby about to draw peoples attention.

 

quite so

 

but I'm gonna go from laughing stock to man of steel by the time the Xmas party season starts ,inshalla (sp)

[muleskinner]

Running, circuits and Kettlebells. Same as always but I'm getting a bit bored without it being goal specific. Think I need to do a mid life crisis half marathon or something.

[whitewidow]

I always found that my "I need a s***" time limit when running is about 63 minutes, if I planned on running for longer them I needed at least 1 Imodium 2 hours prior.

 

Any one else on or about the hour for defecation?

[Rodgers]

I'm good at the exercise stuff but it's just the food man, the beautiful food!

Aren't you in the seniors subbuteo league now?

 

Anny Road is the one you want to speak to Molby

[magic melia]

Running. Swimming and Cycling. I'm doing a half Iron man in Melbourne in January and you can't beat sibling rivalry to spur you on.

just to be clear, because he's a fattie that might decide to get in shape, or because he already has?

 

I guess he has hasn't he? that must be why he doesn't come on here anymore - thinks he's too good for us now

you've done it too haven't you?

[Mick_G]

I've spent dosh and bought a treadmill, can't get motivated to use it though and just ordered a pizza
