What do you do to keep fit?

[Carson]

I had been going to the gym about 5 days/week and also running a few days a week. I had gotten into competitive running. Unfortunately, I ran a race Halloween morning in some very cold rain and ended up sick because of it. Long story short: the first round of antibiotics didn't kick it and I ended up sick a 2nd time. After being on a 2nd antibiotic for 9 days I had a severe allergic reaction and broke out in hives over my entire body. I was then on steroids for 2 weeks for that reaction. I am off the steroids now, but am not completely over the reaction. I have not worked out or ran since Halloween... and I can really tell the difference in my body. grrrr!!! I am hoping to be healthy enough to start lifting again next week and maybe start running again after the 1st of the year.

Would you call learning to freerun working out? It works every part of your body. The only thing that keeps me in shape when football season is over.

Don't. You are not ready for it. You are probably ruining every joint of yours. Focus on squats, clean and jerk, deadlifts, pullups, and running (distance and sprint). Then come back in 2 years. I guess you can occasionally practice some of the basic vaults, but that's it.

Too late, I'm addicted. I'm not gonna stop til I've mastered it. Thanks for the advice though. I've already started back to my 50 pushups/situps/squats in the morning, 50 pushups/situps/squats at night. I've also been running too. Basic free running just adds to that when I slip on my schedule.

That's a terrible workout. Take it to http://www.americanparkour.com/smf/index.php

It works for me. Everyone is different. You should have your own style with everything, as long as it works like its supposed to. I've been doing it this way for years. My position in football demands it.

Oh but thanks dude. I know your just trying to help. I might join those forums after I master the basics.

The closest ski resort is 2 hours away, and we have family coming in this week...maybe in January.

Uhm...I go to the gym almost every day. And play basketball! Woot!

 

[MistArts]

I walk uphill both ways to school.

 

[miniGOINGS]

I am just wondering. When I started to use the computer a lot I started to stop staying in shape I notice I was getting fater. So know I am starting to work out more. I have been doing it for almost 1 month and I can already see progression.

You should see my arms...

What do I do to keep fit? 1000 calories a day maximum.
Or if I run a mile I get 1500 that day. And I'm losing weight fast =D

I once counted and averaged it out to about 6500 a day for me.

I cube with my abs.

Um... Good luck with that...

My metabolism simply DESTROYS everything I eat in a matter of hours. Even if I don't visit the toilet, I lose the weight of what I eat while I'm just sitting.

I can eat about 2 times more of each meal and have lost weight at the end of the day. I don't really know how.

 

[Zane_C]

I keep fit by just being active, I guess my diet is fairly healthy too.
Regularly I will go hunting or fishing, I have been called a monkey plenty of times because I do quite a bit of tree climbing and with my friend we climb up cliffs and other obstacles.
I've also taken quite an interest into parkour, it's actually really fun. Parkour has enabled me to vault over large obstacles such as picnic tables and I can jump and roll from a roof without any discomfort.
After about a year I reckon that's made me a bit fitter.

I don't eat much so I don't have to burn off anything. I don't wanna hear how it's unhealthy but I skip Breakfast (everyday) and Lunch (school day's and occasionally days off) and then eat a snack at 4 pm and dinner at around 6:30-7:30.

But I bike every saturday and a lot of sundays and late on school days. so i'm not totally lazy

6500 kilocalories a day? I think you mean 6500 kilojoules.

 

[Muesli]

I do 9001 chin ups, run 10 miles and eat 5 pigs a day. I can crack walnuts with my pecks.

 

[Innocence]

Just gymnastics, I guess. Oh, I also ride my bike to school most days. And when I'm not doing either of those I just work out at home and stuff. We have a trampoline! Ok, I think that's it.
