Went on a 24 mile ride today, burned about 1000 calories in a little less than 2 hours.

Tomorrow is a 5 mile run and a 15 mile ride to wind down.

Im 51 and in the best shape of my life, here is the trick, have a heart attack and get last rights in Intensive Care unit. After you kick the Priest out and tell him you dont want to die stick to your statement and get to the gym as soon as the doctor says it is ok. lol No shit it works. Oh, stay there for a few years and when you get naked you will be impressed. Cardiac Intesive Care Unit is a very quiet place, just saying.

lol how did I miss this post?!

Shit dude, how was a heart attack?! What was that like? What was your lifestyle like before that happened and how did it change after?

I have 0 motivation and stamina atm. I know I really need to change my life and get fit and bigger but it's tough, especially as its like a struggle to even wanna get outta bed these days. Well it's been like that for a while. I know lack of exercise contributes to depression and I'm not helping myself, just hard to know where to start. I think I'd rather find a gym then wander the streets though. Nowhere to really run here

Motivation comes from within', it's tough to swallow, but you have to want to change your situation or else it won't happen. I've reached the point where enough is enough, it's long past time to get and stay healthy.. When you start to get in shape, a lot of other things seem to fall into place, in regards to your level of happiness and well being. Start slow, don't overdo it, the main goal should be to stay focused. Don't concentrate so much on how much you do each day, instead concentrate on going every day. Consistency is key! I can't emphasize that enough! Go two days then rest a day, go two more, rest a day. Weekends are free day's, but keep your diet in mind.

I think if you follow these guidelines you'll become a better, happier person. That's the experiment I'm testing. Check back on this thread for results.

Subbed. I need to up the activity and metabolism in a major way, I could get away with the leisure life in my youth. Now I have to work for it, or pay the price. Not looking to wear a bikini  think I'll start with 3 state park nature walks/week from now thru june... from the comfort of my front door. talk about realistic attainable goals and progress from there.

the idea about green or peppermint tea in the am -Over- coffee is a damn good one!

ugh i gotta get in shape, i have no one to kick my ass for me.... ive been trying for solong but i seeno results so i just say fuck it...its so hard for women to loose weight i have no idea why i eat super fucking healthy i am at a job where i never sit down for 9 hours at the day i work out..idk wtf

You body needs to be in calorie buring mode for the day or at least become accustomed to burning a high rate of calories at a time. I eat a protein rich meal with a proportionately larger salad the night before -very important. Wake up really early, DON"T EAT ANYTHING, DON"T SMOKE BUD and drink a little water. I usually hit the treadmill first for 30-60min at highest incline, between 2.8-3.4 mph, yoga etc afterwards. AVOID WEIGHT LIFTING or muscle gaining activities until you can get comfortably locked into this routine. I did this for 4-5 day per week for the past 4 mos. I am 5'10" and had a 33-34" waist line before this and now ripped with a 30" waistline
Key is to get you body to burn calories before taking it in at the start of your day. It'll take some time for you body to get used to the routine. ANd the amount of sleep you get on your workout days is very importnt too.

For countering depression and lack of motivation, I suggest adopting yourself a Dog, good for what ails ya.

id be horrible sickly if i was to loose 40-50 lbs

 

[Logges]

i've never been fat but never really worked out and sucked at p.e. Now in my twenties i took up running, its really nice because there is lots of heavily wooded areas and two lakes so there is space and plus my dog loves running.
Last month though i started training in Aikido and its a lot of effort. Its nice though to get fit and learn a martial art at the same time.

Pace: 15:37 min/mi

30 push ups
25 sit ups

SERIOUS MOTHERFUCKING CHUB RUB!! So this has been happening lately... during the middle to end of the workout, usually jogging around trying to increase the stamina, since I sweat I get this epic burning rash because of the friction inside the inner thigh, it's fuckin' crazy! I don't know why but I decided to go commando today to see if that helped, actually made it a lot worse... So yeah, boxers from now on for sure!

I keep getting stoned and forgetting about it and getting up really fast! Dumbass!

Here's a pic from the top of this hill I've been jogging up that's 2 miles away from my house;

 

[Dr. Greenhorn]

so was it the peanut butter sandwich that increased your stamina, or should I say gave you an energy boost? or still undecided?

I tried that again this morning with the banana, ended up eating one piece and half of the banana, I was full as fuck and couldn't eat the other piece. Still undetermined, I'll have to collect more data with that one. I also drank a little bit again last night and felt a little off.

I also wanna try 2 hard boiled eggs, that seems like it would be perfect for some reason

yo patawan, bro to bro advise... (and this may not werk for ya) to minimize thigh rubbing/sweat burn try: Boxer-Briefs. then you have the thigh coverage to min chafing. under armour makes the stretchy athletic type. alright now forget I'm the one that brought that up! / BTW- epic run with the mountains and open hwy / damn anyone notice how cute Sunni's pic #3 is?

 

[Dislexicmidget2021]

A good natural muscle relaxer can be found in mustard,known as tumeric.It helps alot for the aching muscles.Before sleep or shortly after workout is the best time for it to work.

My routine in a week involves elliptical resistance training and Bowflex.I usualy do it for 5-6 days a week,just took a 4 day break(celebrated the birthday tuesday) going back to my regiment tommorrow.Cardio is an everyday must in my opinion.1hr cardio without weight training for cardio days,30 mins of cardio and 1hr of bowflex resistance training on my weight training days.6'2H 195W,The hardest part is diet ...dam those munchies sometimes.

I used to wear boxer briefs actually, though I experienced the same problem with those. Definitely better than nothing at all! At least it's confirmed now that it's the skin/skin contact that causes it! I wasn't sure if it was the wet cloth rubbing against my skin at first. Thanks for the tip

Yeah sunni's got a nice pair of legs and a pretty smile

I agree with the cardio, especially if you're trying to lose weight. I've known people who said they were trying to lose weight but only lifted weights... what? Made no sense..

I agree, the hardest part is usually the diet side of it, but you get stronger as you go along. I sort of try to force myself out the door and I don't think I'd have the energy if I ate junk the night before, sometimes that happens and you pay for it the next day.

One time though, idk what the fuck this was about, me and my friend went and got like 2 or 3 cheeseburgers from McDonalds and had energy to run 2 miles straight

 

[quik420]
