Workout Thread 5?

So what happened, people? A year or two back we used to have a whole bunch of C0R denizens enthusiastically posting about their workouts, and arguing about the nutritional benefits of eggs. Nowadays, nobody mentions lifting a dumbell or going for a jog even in passing. Did everyone just stop giving a shit about their health all at once? Or did you all just get bored of talking about it?

For me, it all fell apart last summer when I moved house. There was no room in the new place to set up my weights so I had to give them up, and I moved from an area full of gorgeous parkland to a dull and aimless scrawl of streets and shops, which (along with starting a new job) killed off my running. I started eating like shit and drinking more heavily, and most of my prized strength, fitness and definition wasted away.

Anyway, I finally got sick of that cloying feeling of unfitness and decided to get back on the wagon. I've just started running again, and I'm pleasantly surprised to discover I'm not a completely unfit slob despite many months of inactivity. My cardio fitness is okay, but what needs improving is leg strength, so I've started off with some short (20-30 minute) hill running sessions to get me past that horrible rubber-leg sensation. I can't wait to get back to the point where I can head out for an hour-long run with some pumping music on.

The weights and shit can come later (I'm doing press-up and pull-up sets as token upper-body routines for now). What's important to me is getting back to that feeling that a day without physical activity is somehow incomplete.

I did my lift routine tonight, been raining too much to go running (thats a pussy excuse though).

I've lost 20lbs since the start of last month, and thats with out really changing my diet at all. If I seriously reformed my diet I'd be shedding pounds like a mofo... But I love bread.

I'm somewhat ambivalent about losing weight. On the one hand, I miss being shredded, but if I get my body fat down to around 10% I start to look extremely gaunt in my face: hollow cheeks and sunken eyes. I also cannot be bothered with the whole bulking/cutting routine of gaining muscle, because I'm never going to be strict enough with my lifestyle to do it properly, and I'm too naturally slender to easily gain muscle.

My motivation for getting fit this time round is less to do with how I look and more to do with how I feel.

Hey cool, this thread is back. Let's hope it will give me some motivation.

I quit beer, and drink wine now. I've lost 8kg over the winter, but I fear my weight loss will plateau in the next 4 months, because it will be too stupidly hot/humid for me to want to go outside unless I'm being paid to do so.

I'd really like to buy a home weights machine setup in the next couple of months though. I have no idea what to get, or even what's reasonably priced :/

Haha, believe it or not I would have to lose about 10lbs of body fat to bring out my abs. I'm deceptive because I have a naturally slender build and a very lean face, so I can look like a rake without actually having the lithe muscle definition you might expect.

I do wonder if I was just genetically predetermined to be so lean, or if my build partially stems from not eating enough and not doing enough physical activity as a kid.

I have a full free weight set that my brother got in high school when he was losing weight and trying to bulk up (he cant gain or retain muscle mass at all though, compared to me who can go from flabby legs to ripped in like 4 weeks of running/lifting).

It's really nice, though I only use the bar for dead lifts since I don't have a spotter. I do dumbbell flys and presses instead, which I guess you don't really need a bench for.

check the link in my post above yours. you can do pretty much all of your body on that one, as long as you've got the right clip-ons. only paid about 670 AUD's for it too. 100kgs of weights came with it..

stu you can't go wrong with just plain ol' free weights too. (dumbbells).

the older i get the shittier i feel when working out. i hate running, and i feel like i just can't lift as much anymore. not that i could lift much to begin with, but it just makes me feel like ass.

i'm usually run 1.5 miles 2-3x a week and do random pushups and situps. i'm not in horrible shape, but not in primo shape either. blah

The pictures should be in imagespeak, though :P

It's a wall-mounted pulling apparatus? Haha..
Basically you can set the height of where the wire(s) go out, and you can hook up basically anything with a carabiner hook to it, ie belts, rods etc. and there are two wires going out (that can be set to 1-wire mode), so you can do like those exercises that cross country skiers do during the off-season and when it's too rainy to safely roller ski along the road, and about a million other exercises.

Edit: Imagese?
