Title: Fitness People, Whats Your Workout and Diet?
Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, March 9, 2005, 12:46:29
Been using my local gym for 5 years now and gone from 5ft 8in fat git who weighed 15 and a half stone to 5ft 8in chubby who weighes 11 and half stone.

I still go out now and again drinking but can't hold my beer so well anymore due to smaller belly and i get pissed quick!

I use the gym 3 or 4 times a week and run for 40 mins on treadmill at 12 KM/H which means i'm running 8 KM (5 miles).
I then do weights and 10 mins on bike.

Just wondered what everyone else does?

Zero at the moment just eat sensibly, walk everywhere rather than drive and switch to shots rather than guzzle beer all night on the pish.

Used to run a variation of 6-10 miles cross country 5 times a week, I even completed a marathon, well a half one but it was up-hill.

Can't really be bothered with the gym at the moment.   Rather gayly I usually just detox on a Sun/Mon, which keeps the old pounds from the weekend binge amassing.

Glad you are happy at the moment Ralphy not so long ago you were very anti-women, though you had turned gay for a minute

I play quite a bit of sport, but do eat a fair bit of shite. Thankfully I get some good dinner in the evenings to make up for the crap I usually eat at lunch.

I don't really have a regime and don't have a diet but I go to the gym every week or two.

I normally just row 500m four times with a break to recover in between where I'll use a cross trainer or something easy, I row two as fast as I can (1m40-1m45/ 500m)and two just cruising along around 1min 56/500m and sometimes a 2000m row. Anyone else do rowing? If you do how fast? Don't really do weights or anything but I run a bit as well.

I just do all mine at home.  Have lots of weights so do various lifts etc and loads and loads of sit-ups, press-ups etc etc.  I do that every evening and most mornings!  Also me and the Mrs have a practically wholly organic diet and tend to eat pretty healthily.

We were a member of the JJB gym but we were spending £70 a month between us and going about once every 6 months so we stopped that and just do it at home.

I do a 10 minute session on the rower, with difficulty on max.  Normally reach around 2100m or so.  Speedwise, I do about 500m in 2mins 20something.

I did start getting back into the gym, but sprained my wrist recently so have been restrained to just doing cycling for 40mins or so, but to be honest, for the effort I put in I don't really find there is a huge difference.  I prefer Decks method of getting fit - playing sport, enjoying yourself and getting fit - but at the moment I don't have much opportunity so gym it is.  In the summer I plan to go to the gym less and play more sport.

Average work-out for me is normally 40 minutes aerobic, followed by weights, followed by 100 sit-ups.

I heard that from loads of people, Bird... but when it comes to the crunch, i don't think it works out like that!!!

My problem is i enjoy what i do too much to ruin it with healthy living!

I play a bit of 6 a side on Sunday when work allows.We  never get enough players turn up though so we take on the young Chavs that hang around the Oasis.Im utter crap but love kicking people. 8) I normally go to the pub after though so that sort of takes away the exercise.
I also cycle to work and walk alot but im fat  and the only way I can stop that is to give up the beer and thats never going to happen.

In early May I'm going to do the Sarsen Trail, the 26 mile walk from Avebury to Stonehenge, you can do it as a marathon, but I prefer walking, it may take a bit longer but you see more.

 Shall need to do a couple of reasonable walks just before hand to ensure its not uncomfortable, and fuel it with a massive early start fry up, or a bacon sandwich in All Cannings if disorganised.  Post walk lager will then hit the brain like a runaway train.
