D.A._Sakuyamon Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 So YCM how do you all exercise? For me, I'm not a jogger nor do I care much for weights but I need to keep in shape a little bit at least so I turn my chores into an exercise. Like caring an absurd amount of groceries with one arm. Or spinning on a dime while moving dishes around. Now my real "I actually consider exercise" exercises focus on increasing my arms flexibility and striking force.

Legend Zero Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 50 push ups, sit ups, and squats every day. Then I run two blocks. Doesn't take long and I feel a lot better since I've started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've never voluntarily exercised in my life because of my godly metabolism making me lighter than air in proportion to my height. Despite this, I'm really, really out of shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eury Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm enlisted in the USMC (ship out later this year) and we have PT (physical training) Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We run at least like, idk, 3 miles every PT? Also do a ton of pull ups and a variety of other things. But we mainly run. I'm getting better and everything is getting easier the more I go. Used to run a mile and a half in like, 16 minutes, back in April. I can now run it in ~13 min. Still not where I need to be, but much better.

Thar Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 My only form of exercise is walking. I take every opportunity to walk when given the choice. If a floor I need to be on is less than 8 stories up, I take the stairs (it legitimately pisses me off when non-handicapped people take the elevator to go up one floor.) I also don't oversearch for the closest parking spot possible; when I see an open spot, I take it no matter how far away it is. The farther the better. I also have to mow three-fifths of an acre of lawn at least once a week, possibly more if I end up mowing other people's lawns. I also also have the entire P90X workout set that dad burned sitting on top of my PS3. Haven't touched it in a couple years, but it's there when I feel up for it.

Shradow Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I bus tables at work. 6-8 hours of nonstop walking and carrying heavy loads is good enough for me. Outside of that, though, I do literally nothing in terms of exercise and haven't done anything athletic in years (I'm still fast as s*** from years of soccer, though I'm a bit lacking in stamina). My metabolism keeps me nice and thin no matter what I eat, and I've never been one to gain much muscle mass. Currently 5'6" and 120 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I bus tables at work. 6-8 hours of nonstop walking and carrying heavy loads is good enough for me. Oh yeah, I totally forgot about my job... You get a lot of hours. I only get like 20 hours a week, for which I'm usually walking/running around doing random bagger duties while we're not busy, and when I having basically nothing else to do, I help stock and condition shelves. I also have to retrieve carts from the lot, usually 8 at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I get about 32 hours a week. Though now that we're getting to the end of July business has started to die down, I don't have as much to bus so I just get as much walking in as I can. (No more $9 an hour paychecks because less tips, though, which sucks.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same Height as you but 10 pounds lighter, get on my level . B) Super Metabolism. :P Anyways, I totally forgot about mowing. I mow both the front and backyard. When I'm done I wash the mower and literally pick it up and put it back into the shed. I'm mean whats the point in washing it if it's going to get dirty.

I heard that if you let debris build up on the mower, it could heat up while it's running and ignite, making for a very dangerous hazard. I also heard that, if dry enough, the sunlight alone (be it just a little ray) can ignite it while it's being stored, which isn't good at all when stored in a wooden shed.

Bull3tM0nk3y Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Running to the bathroom. That's it. The bathroom is outside. And taking out the trash, and occasional walk to am/pm to get ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve The Bug Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I swim competitively which entails 6 practices a week (7 starting September). It envolves dryland which is abs, running, weights, and of course a lot of swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah. Why are you trying to compete to see who is more underweight? In terms of my exercise, I do absolutely none in the summer, but I do quite a bit of walking during my semester at college. The building takes fifteen minutes to walk across, fifteen minutes to walk to the card store and twenty to get to my bus. Between classes (about two to four a day), I walk to the card store at least half the times and walk fifteen minutes just to get from one class to another, given I'm often cursed with distant classes. It ends up being at least an hour and a half to two hours of walking a day. It isn't much for me, but I'd rather be 5'4" and 125-130 lbs than 5'6 and underweight.

Well, I like being the weight I am, leaves alot of room before I would get to be over weight & hell my strength to weight ratio is pretty good.

It envolves dryland which is abs, running, weights, and of course a lot of swimming. Oh god I know your pain XD So for about three and half-ish months I've got 5 hours worth of competitive swimming. I ice skate during the winter, though not competitively, and to help my flexibility I do gymnastics. Right now I'm doing this Insanity work out program, which is as its name implies, insane.

Hunter. Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Currently 5"11 and 50lbs. Balancing on the edge of anorexic at this point but because of my metabolism I don't gian weight but I eat so much that I don't lose any either. Also maybe a mile a day walking if I feel like it.
