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.
