I concur, Parkour is great, I love it! so much fun, still not great at it yet, but it is hella fun. |
Muckraker Posts: 256 Joined: 7 Sep 2008 | I barely do much exercise but that don't stop me playing badminton. I work out at home with what I have and run. PE helps too. |
Muckraker Posts: 229 Joined: 18 Aug 2008 | Pedro - I concur with those who've mentioned DDR. I used to play a lot back in university, enough to even play competitively, and it's fantastic exercise. One of the best things about it is that like all other music games, it gets harder as you go along, but to have a chance at passing the really hard stuff, you have to be in somewhat decent shape. So getting addicted to it and trying to pass harder and harder songs will improve your fitness even more! |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3629 Joined: 4 May 2008 | Another vote for DDR over here. It's good fun (when you go on the higher levels) and gives you a good bit of exercise - even if it does eat up your coins. Even though I hardly eat healthily and don't exercise more than the average, I'm actually underweight. |

But the best way to get exercise is doing something really fun. I'm sure paintballing would be great exercise, but that's hardly something you could do regularly. |

Paperboy Posts: 42 Joined: 16 Nov 2008 | I walk about a mile a day, trip to work and I always go out when I have a day off, even if it's just to wander round town listening to music. I try and eat healthily, but fail miserably...having said that, I'm 74kg at 6'2. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2591 Joined: 8 Jul 2008 | When it's not freezing cold or wet I walk one of my dogs around the field, my fat-arse dog and me need more excercise. :P I hate push-ups, damn my flabby belly... Oh yeah and I don't eat crap. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2559 Joined: 28 Jun 2008 | Record how many key presses you make in one lot of up-time, and do half a press-up for each. Or run half a meter for each. That'll get you fit in no time. Seriously though, I do a martial art. Keeps me fit, although the only competition is myself, and loads of other people go |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1808 Joined: 12 Jul 2008 | I rock-climb. It's a great way to work up a sweat since you use a lot of the muscles in your body. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1673 Joined: 4 May 2008 | I like to walk around town listening to music, especially at night in the summer. Not sure on this (I'm definitely not a health expert), but does keeping cold for long periods of time help at all with losing weight? I mean, the body must have some way of keeping itself warm; maybe burning fat for heat. I've noticed that, no matter how much food I eat (and I eat a HELL of a lot), I never get grossly overweight. In fact, many people think I'm underweight. I've got an obvious layer of fat on my belly, but I don't ever feel cold unless it's under 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius). |

I'm 6feet 4, with long arms. Anywhere I try to do pull ups I head but the ceiling. That's not a joke either. |

That sums me up. |

weeeell in that case... I might suggest pushups for upper body work, doesn't help biceps but it is good for your chest and back. |

Oh Bravo, I run about 5 miles week and then there's wrestling practice. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 70 Joined: 12 Aug 2008 | I stopped eating so damn much. No joke. Aside from that, weights, running, calisthenics, physical employment, and good ol' pugilism. Don't forget the DDR! Gyms are bunk. You can usually buy equipment you need for less than X months membership at some Gym. |

Beat Writer Posts: 166 Joined: 20 Oct 2007 | Woah! Your kinda getting me down man, blast some music and spazz out for an hour or so. If you want to start an exercise regime then I would suggest take it easy, do whatever is comfortable and don't push yourself too hard to begin with eventually your fitness level will rise and before you know it you'll be a new man. The other alternative is to go and get yourself some of that new 'fitness in a bag stuff'! Personally I ride my bicycle everywhere I go or even walk where many people would take a car or a bus but then again other people call me crazy or mad or loony or something along those lines. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1479 Joined: 20 Jul 2008 | I've tried some of that stuff out myself but it pretty much does nothing for me or I find it so boring I'd rather slice off my pinky than do them. Pretty much hate all sports since I lacked any interest with any sort of competition. Tried the whole martial arts when I was younger and pretty much sucked at it even with my best efforts. And lastly I will never ever play that damn DDR game, sorry but I just can't stand that game. So far the only thing I actually like is walking but it doesn't seem to do me any good. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 392 Joined: 9 Nov 2008 | I do very little exercise apart from some tennis every week and eat fairly badly. I *look* like I'm in pretty good shape at about 82kg and 6'1. However, in reality I am very unfit and severly lacking in any kind of muscular definition. This leads me to conclude that at any moment my waistline is going to explode. /self-esteem body image rant |

Yeah, Ramen and DDR works. When you eat a lot of the same, your body starts rejecting some of the calories get. I started again recently but I'm taking multivitamins and drinking a glass of grapefruit juice in the morning. Already started losing some weight. |
