I miss the fitness threads and the fitness Doms!

I probably weigh more right now than I have at any other time in my life except perhaps when I was pregnant. I've been too easy on myself and comforting myself too damn much.

It's almost a new year. I'm stuck halfway between saying, I just don't give a fuck anymore and wanting to get in fucking shape. How about you?

 

[intothewoods]

There are fitness Doms? I think Homburg has weighed in on fitness issues, but that's about it. Bring it!

I've been on a diet for about a week now.

 

[CutieMouse]

Ohhhhhh no, not me... I remember AA's punishments for slackers from RJ's thread ages ago.

 

[Windflower]

I can say the same, yeah. Right on!

Except that I look better than I ever have.
So yeah, FUCK getting in shape. I like these curves, and they like me, dam it!

Oh, gawd/ess, I remember that. I was really, really happy I hadn't made the mistake of joining in that little get-fit group...

LOL I remember those. That was so funny.

 

[YourCaptor]

Ahem, fitness dom right here.

Working mainly on shoulders at the moment.

Just to throw it out in case someone knows. Is it true that leg workouts increase testosterone levels, which in tern result in more upper body bulk?

Always trying to gain a few pounds.

Yep. There used to be. I need someone to report to, who cares. I need a partner.

I need someone who won't tell me, (like all my family and friends do), that I look great and don't need to work out. Particularly when my weight is up and making me hate myself.

Good for you? As long as you are happy with you, that's great!

Yep, I miss those days and those guys!

Sorry, I have no idea.

I'm a bit far removed from fitness right now. Shoulder injury happened, then sort of fell out of the habit while recovering. I'm in the process of regaining my motivation.

Sort of. Lift HEAVY across the most muscles possible in a short time and you will have a positive hormonal response.

To be more detailed, lift for less than (usually) 45 minutes a session, as most men have a fall-off in T-levels after that point. And lift HEAVY for low reps with large compound movements (squats, deadlift, bench press, etc). Why you correctly associate leg workouts with this is because classic leg movements (squats usually) work loads of muscles across multiple joints. Deadlifts are even better (more muscles involved), but some people class them as a back exercise. Whatever. Just load the bar frikken heavy and move it.

Going heavy is the big thing though. The body responds to heavy, structural loading with T-level increases.

I'm not a fan of the fitness concept, as in: repetitive exercises or workouts you don't really enjoy but perform in order to obtain a specific weight or conditioning goal.

Instead, I'm a fan of: finding something you love to do that involves movin' around, and then giving yourself permission to do it on a regular basis.

FF, I can tell just from the way that your lazy letters are arranged in your posts here that it's time to get your fat ass off the couch or bed or wherever it's spending its lazy time these days, and haul it to the gym.

I can see the beginnings of love handles in your adverbial phrases, and I can tell you that, on you especially, they look like crap.

That parenthetical expression, the lazy little fucker, gave me a glimpse of that broadening stretch of real estate that you call your ass. Who said they're not making any more real estate? FFS, we have living proof right here, boys and girls!

Now hie thee to a gymmery, wench, and don't return until your workout clothes look like you've just finished three consecutive wet tee-shirt contests.

And do the same tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow yet again.

Neither a sitter nor a napper be,
To thine own bod be true.

It's been a struggle just walking the past few days after doing squats on Saturday. Actually made it to the gym Monday so maybe I can start getting full weeks in. A nice long walk of three miles or so would be perfect today. Mid 60s but turning colder again. I know how to get in shape, I've just been lazy about it. Tis the season to get off our butts!

Oh sweet Jesus.

I think I'mma keep my ultra inflam x and running up and down my basement steps to myself.

I am too, but sadly said thing is x country or ice skating and that's a bit more involved than the average weeknight can accomodate. I do have the horrid nordic track thing, it was a free sidewalk score. Similar and yet so not.

Satan invented the Nordic Track. They will get you in shape. I'm not ready to face mine again. And I'm paid up at the gym until 7/31/10. Elliptical machines are so much easier and do pretty much the same thing.

 

[CutieMouse]

Yep, I miss those days and those guys!

I miss RJ.

AA's around, but doesn't post much anymore...

Actually there's lots of people I miss who don't post much anymore.

 

[CutieMouse]

Exactly.

The gym I go to has this very cool thingie that isn't a Nordic track, but it is a cross country ski machine thing. OMG I love it. 30 minutes on it kicks my ass, but it's like a perfect short whole body workout [for me]. It's all computerized, so I can set it for flat skiing, or hills, or varying intensity - and it tracks my heart rate/miles/calories burned as I work.

Unfortunately, that doesn't always cut it. My son is ADHD, and I've never lost weight chasing him. Which is the most UNFAIR thing in the world. What do you mean chasing a hyperactive toddler isn't aerobic exercise?

I miss RJ.

Yeah, me too. AA, and snowy, and luna, and seri, and and and

I agree with you. However given my current schedule I can't do what I love or even find out what it is right now.

What I can do is walking and spot exercises that I don't enjoy but don't hate. Along with drinking more water and eating more water rich foods, I could drop the weight and firm up quickly if I just had a minder and/or a partner.

It's lovely the people around me think that I look great now. I just don't like the way I look when I look in the mirror or put on a swim suit.

 

[FurryFury]

LMAO!



Thanks for the laugh!

Laugh? Why the hell aren't you at the gym already, lady? And I expect photographic proof - the wet tee-shirt look photo is always acceptable proof.

Haven't they proven that squats are bad on your knees and of not much benefit?

I hate squats.

Interesting personal note (or not), my knees crack every time I do such a thing. LOL.
It tends to alarm some but this has been the case my whole life.
