Do you exercise? If you don't, why not?

Turkey · April 05, 2015, 10:12:49 AM

Yeah. Weightlifting, calisthenics, and cardio.

I can't be bothered any more.
I haven't train my chest in like 2-3 weeks and all my clothes that used to be tight around the chest are all really loose.

It pisses me off, plus my job is very cardio intensive so I guess I get a good workout there.

lol small

yep, muscle wise I was really good like 6-7 months ago but that was because I was religious with my workout routine. 6 days a week, hitting all muscle groups twice a week but I hit the gym 2 days a week max. So yeah I''ve slimmed down quite a bit.

But hey at least I'm not fat

TB · April 05, 2015, 12:48:40 PM

Of course I exercise. Who in their right mind doesn't??

The Lord Ruler · April 05, 2015, 01:00:35 PM

Cardio every Tuesday and friday.

Mondays and Thursdays I do arms and chest.

Wednesdays and Saturdays I do back and legs.

Azumarill · April 05, 2015, 01:02:20 PM

nope, because im entirely apathetic about it. havent been to the gym in like 2 years. i try to eat a balanced diet to make up for it

Raw Sugar · April 05, 2015, 01:02:53 PM

I try but winter always screws me over and I'm on vacation. So that means laziness and fast food almost everyday. Lol

Usually I just go longboardingfor my cardio which is all I'm really interested in. That shit takes a lot out of you. Holy hell

Yes; I do football, GCSE PE and Core PE. Plus extra-curricular stuff. So I end up doing 1-2 hours every day bar Sundays.

Super Irish · April 05, 2015, 02:06:21 PM

I see no point in it. Whatever I do regularly enough will exercise the muscles and whatever else I need to do it better; there's no need to speed up the process in my view.

That said, I don't care much what someone else does to bulk up or whatever. It's their thing, and mine isn't exercising.

Sandtrap · April 05, 2015, 02:10:09 PM

The only exercises on a scheduled, daily basis I'm doing these days are cardio stuff. Walking. Running if I can.

Otherwise, no. But I make a point to keep in shape by working. It essentially takes the place of exercise. Little less refined obviously. But it gets the job done.

Epsira · April 05, 2015, 02:10:34 PM

The sun has resolved to assassinate me, so I can only exercise at night. The problem then becomes the tigers waiting outside.
I'm much safer enjoying the comfort of my darling Annie May.

Korra · April 05, 2015, 02:12:24 PM

Of course.

If two and a half years hasn't done anything for me, why should I continue?

You should continue. Just in a different manner. If you're throwing yourself at a wall, then stop. Find the crack in the wall and get through.

If there's no improvement, then you're missing something.

My health has been a roller coaster of decline this past year. And even I can see some improvement even after just a few weeks of walking every night, and working my various jobs.

Look at this in a very simplistic way.

When you do anything physical, it takes energy. You burn calories, your body needs more to heal what you've done to your muscles. You need to eat. But you need to eat real food. Healthy stuff. And you need to eat period.

In fact I'd take a guess that's what you're missing. You don't eat much. So your rate of gain is going to slowed.

Question.

How do I know if I'm getting muscle or if I'm just bloated?

How do the two correlate?
If you build muscle you will know because the results will be visual. Being bloated is just the swelling in your abdominal region and the general feeling of being full and uncomfortable.

Well if you get abs it means that you get muscle.

Well if you get abs it means that you get muscle.

and also, if you can flex your tummy, it means you have muscles. Hit against your stomach when you're flexing, and you get an estimate of how large muscles you have... also, depending on how much fat you have, some abs might become visible.
