Nickona Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Well during the basketball season I was playing nine hours a week plus two cycle rides. Now I do athletics and some basketball and rock climbing. In the winter I play rugby aswell as basketball and in the summer, well, kayaking and swimming in the river aswell as more basketball If i were you just find an activity you like and do it a lot! Warming up is only really necessary for short sprints, I wouldn't agree, last athletic season I barely stretched and pulled five muscles and sprained my hip if you don't stretch you might not feel it right away but you will the next day!
Supporters M_P Posted June 27, 2011 Supporters Posted June 27, 2011 I just walked up my stairs to go to bed, that's enough excercise for one day!
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted June 28, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Posted June 28, 2011 I didn't run the past few days because I've done my foot in. Still isn't great now, but was much cooler today, almost glad it happened in a way to avoid that weather I'm doing a mile in 5 minutes 40 secs over 2.6 miles at the moment. Still pretty sluggish I think so got to keep going!
Airsofter123 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Yeah the weather isn't great for running atm - I tried going for a run last night, and had to stop after 10km... just absolutely wipes you out. 5 40 per mile is actually pretty good over that sort of distance. Trick is being able to maintain it when you're carrying a rifle and gear .
Supporters M_P Posted June 28, 2011 Supporters Posted June 28, 2011 Well, i just walked to the fridge and back! god that was tiring!
Airsofter123 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I hear that... just out of interest, does being constantly hot make you lose weight? Just thinking as I was in Germany a while back, and from what people ate the whole country deserves to be obese...
Supporters M_P Posted June 28, 2011 Supporters Posted June 28, 2011 hehe, I know what you mean, I lived in Germany for 7 years lol. Weisswurst anyone As for being hot and loosing weight- maybe, not sure but sounds right lol
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted June 28, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Posted June 28, 2011 A lot of the US is generally a lot warmer than here half the year.. makes no difference.
Supporters M_P Posted June 28, 2011 Supporters Posted June 28, 2011 true... but im damm hot and im skinny
G-Force Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I fo running lift weight play rugby and fencing. I have woods neaby so running is great.
Supporters M_P Posted June 28, 2011 Supporters Posted June 28, 2011 I just got the washing off the line, im feeling faint
Nickona Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 damn washing line, marksman you should put your feet up!
Supporters M_P Posted June 28, 2011 Supporters Posted June 28, 2011 na they arent a problem, my super hench lesbian finger can open them with ease
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted July 7, 2011 Supporters Posted July 7, 2011 I have a hour workout using various weights which includes all the usual upper body muscle building stuffs and I've also downloaded an app for my iPhone called 'Couch to 10k' and do both of those around 3 times a week. The app's really great. My only barrier is not always having time and sometimes I haven't eaten enough throughout the day to actually fuel myself to do everything. But once it's all done in one day, apart from being knackered, it feels good. Like I've really achieved something. Obviously I also go airsofting, and with my 5kg M16 and equally heavy set of magazines, gas, ammo and pistol, I probably get a lot more excersise than most other people there, because it feels like I'm giving a child a piggy back all day lol.
Nickona Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 TBH i've never been a fan of weight lifting, i find it looks good but not a effective. Lots of my friends have more destinguished bi-ceps but i am a lot stronger!
Supporters Finius Posted July 7, 2011 Author Supporters Posted July 7, 2011 So guys, Been a wee while since I actually contributed here. I've been following a course of running first thing in a morning, followed by now cycling to and from work (1 mile run, 18 miles cycling overall), as my daily cardio. I'm about to start making proper use of the RMR get-fit-apply guide and the suggested circuit in there. (For anyone who's read the angry thread, this guide is what made me hulk out at my printer).
Supporters M_P Posted July 7, 2011 Supporters Posted July 7, 2011 I had to go to the garage freezer to get a pizza today, god that took some effort
Nickona Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 oh marksman you and your exercise. i was filming presentations today, i had to occationally move a tripod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted July 15, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Posted July 15, 2011 How's the running going Finius? I've been improving slowly and got some proper running shoes today, much more bounce so hope to cut the time down a bit
Supporters M_P Posted July 15, 2011 Supporters Posted July 15, 2011 Well I just got up to turn the tv off-line I doubt finius could beat that
Cameron364 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I absolutely hate the idea of going to the gym or going for a run, I would much rather play a tonne of sports than just going through the monotonous routine of weight lifting
