Keeping fit....well do ya?

12-03-2005, 10:24 AM

This 'Keeping Fit' culture's been around for a while now, and we're told to exercise more and keep in shape.

You see it all the time. Groups of Middle-aged Women doing there power walks with matching drink bottles, increasing numbers of lycra clad Women and Men on there pushy's, etc.

So after a day of swinging off a hammer, busting your back with a shovel, or sitting in an office frying your retinas in front of a Monitor all day, etc,... do any of you get out when you get home and go for a walk or go to the gym?

Or is it case of getting home, throwing the shoes off, and saying, "that's me done for the day".

So, with the above in mind. What's your Fitness/Exercise culture?

PS:Im new here so hello to everyone.Blood orange BAXR8,full leather,tint,premium sound.

well im in constant excersize. i keep my lungs active and working out by smoking, i eat fatty foods so my heart has to work harder which will therefore make it stronger and i also 'surf' a few hours a day which gives my fingers a work out.
yep im pretty fit!

Damo · 12-03-2005, 10:52 AM

The mind is willing but the Body is weak..

rodderz · 12-03-2005, 12:21 PM

When I was younger I used to run 5 or 6 times a week when I was running competetively, along with the odd triathlon and inbetween played basketball, footy and tennis

When i was 15 I won a national title, the coach gave me 6 weeks off and I discovered beer lol

I still regard myself as fit as I do landscaping, but the homebrew I'm getting into now will surely make a belly a tad rounder...lol

Sounds like a few of us are all on the same keep fit regime.

Although being a diabetic, I do have to stick to a sugar free diet.

MrFlibbles · 12-03-2005, 01:01 PM

well my fitness consits of opening house door walking to car going to work and the opposite when i get home! enuff to wear out anyone!

dansedgli · 12-03-2005, 01:17 PM

I used to be fit and healthy, then I graduated high school, enjoyed schoolies for 2 months never really got back into it.

Now that I work all the way in the city I have to either get up at 530 to get to the gym for an hour before I leave for work or I have to go at lunchtime or afterwork and its way too busy to even bother.

Ive been to take up jogging again but im too lazy.

Paris Hilton · 12-03-2005, 01:30 PM

CAMS290 · 12-03-2005, 02:29 PM

Just started doing a small weight routine again, and eating healthier.

I was starting to get a beer belly, and I don't drink beer.

Cheahman · 12-03-2005, 02:53 PM

I lift weights at home about 3 times a wk for about 1/2 hr. Plus Im quite active at work being a painter, having to roll walls and ceilings etc.

Psycho Chicken · 12-03-2005, 03:09 PM

I walk the dog and what not every now and again, do a bunch of push ups or sits ups if I can be bothered. Somehow I stay in shape.

Pik0 · 12-03-2005, 03:20 PM

Im at uni a fair bit, but i go 4 days a week to the gym and i train at footy 2 times a week and play on saturdays...

**russellw** · 12-03-2005, 03:32 PM

I've got lots of stairs in the house - does that count?
I thought about taking up the Rat Exercise Plan - but 20 yards of walking followed by 6 weeks on 'yer *** seemed a bit counterproductive.

big_pete · 12-03-2005, 03:32 PM

paul7v7 · 12-03-2005, 04:42 PM

I used to play baseball for 12 years (until 2000). I'd like to go back and start playing. I also used to swim competitively but became bored of it. Lately I haven't done much. I attend the gym every so often but yeah i am really disappointed with myself of late.

FRDGAL · 12-03-2005, 05:41 PM

I'm overweight but still do get plenty of exercise running a household with 3 kids ( no make that 4

: ) But up until about 2 weeks ago, I haven't done any exercise at all. Was doing Pilates and Tae-Bo but I've slacked off .... Looking down at my belly now - something tells me I needs to get back into it and quick!
