The not too serious get fit thread

[Scooter Montgomery]

I'll help threadjack since you asked - You might see if there is a rock gym in your area.  I don't like the typical weights deal either but climbing will whip your butt.  You can always take it outside if you decide you like it and get some gear.

I'm out of shape, unless you count round. 5'8" and 197 as of last Thursday (damn work shipping scale). I went to the gym and was dying after a 4 mile walk/ 60 minutes. 4 years ago I was doing 7 miles/ hour with ease. 30 lbs extra really sucks.

I was just thinking this same thing, rock gym. There is one in the town I live in Woburn, MA. All summer it had a Monster parked out front most days, anyone on here?

I am! 

D*mn B!  What year was that taken?  1978?!  Look at those porkchops!!

well in that case...as I sit here drinking a orange soda...I am well on my way to not succeeding 



but truthfully, isn't that what goals are for....falling short of?

In that case I need to stop eating so much pizza & slow down on the vino too.

Oh god, pizza is going to be the death of me.  Especially now that we have a Little Ceasars in town.....

I'm at 6"4' and 225 but I'm proud to say that most people guess 20-30 lbs under that.  I carry it well 

I'd ride more but the single speed geared as is doesn't do too well with the hills around here.

work 10 hours a day, 4 hours working out and running 10 miles a day? When did you sleep?

The running was part of the workouts-I could do ten miles in < one hour so it wasn't so bad. Basically two hour workout in the morning, and one in the afternoon-five mile warmup for each.

You must have been in pretty good shape to run 10 mph for 5 miles or more. That's pretty hardcore!

[Threadjack]   Little Ceasars ain't pizza.

I can do 10mph for one mile and then I fall over half dead and can do nothing but lounge and drink for the rest of the day.


and my little 29 inch inseam legs have to move soooooooo fast to do that.

I was on a crew team for ten seasons.



It's not an easy sport.

Don't forget..he has a runner's body too.  Longer legs..easier running than us hobbits!

Cool sport!     You do that in college too?

Rowing was easy compared to some of the land workouts we did back when I was on the college crew team.  Nothing like  over the side of an 8 after a race!

What seat were you Dave?  I was a 7 and then an 8, a once in a while 1 or 2.

Rowing

Ugh..one more thing I never did do when I was up in Seattle.  I always got distracted by them when I was crossing the 520.
