Fitness thread

Since there isn’t a topic about fitness I’ll be starting it.

After the lockdown bullshit I didn’t get to train for 3 months and put on 6-7 kg of fat just by doing nothing and eating.

Now my goals are to shred down to 12% body fat hopefully , I’m about 20_22% now so glad gyms are open and ready to hit the weights and cardio.

I've nailed the fine art of a childless dad bod these days.

Have an exercise bike and a "gym" area in our house but it really doesn't get used enough.

I love going to the gym but the 3 months off killed me

I used to go to a PT studio twice a week, and that wasn't too bad, but given my back and shoulders are dodgy, I had to be careful in what I could do.

Got a TRX floating around somewhere too. Maybe I should attach that to our balcony LOL.

You should why not.

You should why not.

I don't exactly trust our rentals build quality LOL... knowing my luck I'd rip the support straight off the balcony LOL.

Is it an old place?

 

[spiritofaslan]

Nah ... brand spanking new. Well actually 3 years new.

Oh and it's a RawsonHomes build. You know a place is truly special, when they install a door on the completely wrong way, and let it get past handover.

All 55kgs of me would probably tear the entire balcony off with a low squat on the TRX .. our landlords lovely but I know where I'd even begin to explain that one LOL.

I need to get motivated to get back in shape. The man who used to inspire me Jim "Warrior" Hellwig died.

I used to watch his youtube uploads and draw inspiration from his videos.

Since moving to the Bankstown region I've become lazy and drive everywhere.

Maybe I'm brst buying a good bike and time trialling how long it takes me to ride from Bankstown to Bondi?

I used to ride from Colyton to Penrith on a regulat basis. Took me half an hour to ride a bit over 10km.

That’s impressive bro you should start riding again.

I've got long legs. Lol once I improved my cardio I could at times keep up with the flow of traffic.

A friend of mine thought i was off my head when I told him I'd make it to Colyton from Cranebrook roughly the same time as him after stopping at the servo to fill up.

I remember rolling onto my street the same time he was pulling over to wait.

He was saying no fucking way impossible while my other friend was having a good laugh saying see I told you so.

Exercise is great for mental health too.. Probably why I love getting out and bashing it through the bush on foot.

I need to get back into the routine.
All my muscle and definition is turning into loose soft fat.

Thankfully I still have stron arms for a guy who doesn't really work out.

I attribute a lot of my strength to having a brother 7 years older, always overpowering and ullying me at a young age. By the time I was 14 and he was 21 I was able to throw him around and defend myself.

Being a teenager and knowing I could man handle developing or fully developed adults gave me a lot of confidence.

Then on new years day in a footrace for a vortex ball with my uncle.

I decided to push him as we were about to contest for the ball and I made him catapult into my dad!

I thought I was so dead for that but they just laughed n amazement by my strength.

Mind you when my uncle collided with my dad I made him draw blood from his shin!

That was from colliding with my dad.

Well I made the mistake of telling my girlfriend I'm sick of being out of shape from sitting on my ass most of the time.
She has been putting on a bit of weight since this lockdown nonsense and used my bitching as an excuse to set up a relationship goal making us do some exercise regime.

The good thing is she says we have stop drinking alcohol for 3 weeks, which I can do.
Its her who loves drinking vodka like its going out of fashion.

Sometimes I think theres some truth in the bible about women working for the deceptive serpent.

It’s always a good thing to exercise, especially after that lock down.

Sex is an exercise
