The not too serious get fit thread

[Popeye the Sailor]

*Note, this is not a how to-let's not get into a debate over methods.

Are you out of shape?
Race leathers unusually tight?
Those stairs getting steeper?
Have random strangers stopped asking for sex?
Can't see your junk?

It's time to do something about it.

Post up here-set a goal, let us know how yer doing.


I'm tired of being sore and tired, so I've been running/weights for the last month or so. It's starting to pay off.

Ultimate goals are:

Drop weight from 210 to 190
Be able to run 5 miles in less than half an hour.
Pick up Paula's dirtbike with her on it (300 or so pounds).

So basically, get back to where I was 5 years ago.

Jeeze, her dirtbike weighs 225?

Yeah-I can pick that up, just not at the point where I could lift much more without hurting myself.

I was being sarcastic, insinuating Paula weighs no more than 75lbs...

Not far off-she weighs around 90 

[NAKID]

I was guessing maybe 100....

Unless you're a foot tall, at 18lbs you will be awfully skinny.

Good for you SomeG!  

I'm trying new cross-training routines while I have access to the school gym across the street.  A VERY nice one too!  I can't believe it's a high school gym!?!  28 benches, 28 squatracks, 12 clean & jerk platforms, free-weights, etc.  It seems like the place is about 5000 sq/ft?  There's also a football staduim outside (use the stairs), a field house..complete with a 45yd artificial turf field and a track.


Anyway, it's cool because I'm usually in there by myself so I can rotate between 3 benches at a time (flat, decline, incline) for chest workouts.  I use kettlebells (never used before but I LOVE THEM!!), verticle leap platforms and sleds.  The workouts have been tough and I'm noticing some positive changes.   Thinking about incorporating a snorkel to simulate the high altitude workouts I used to get in Flagstaff.

I'm hoping to gain strength and a about 10-15lbs.

I'll be happy if I start hitting the steel again. My weight is fine but I'd like to see more muscle tone.

[Buckethead]

Right now: 230 lbs, 50 push-ups (2 minutes max), 65 sit-ups (2 minutes max), and a 12-minute 1.5 mile run.

Goal: 210 lbs, 75 push-ups, 95 sit-ups, 10:00 1.5 mile run by 1 Feb 09.

Bonus goal: I'd like to be able to do 6 overhand pull-ups. Eventually. I'll let you all know when I make it to 1.
