Any of you fellas fitness freaks? Or even just enjoy the occasional run or gym session?
-
Just had fish and chips.
-
Yep I run 5 days a week,and walk the other 2.
weather permitting I also bike ride(usually the warmer months for this activity)
I do 150 push ups a day Mon-fri,and increase it to 200 a day on the weekends
I also do so lightweight weights(if that makes sense).
Must admit though that despite doing this ,if I don't watch what I eat the weight just piles on.I guess as I age my metabolism is slowing down and thus I need to be ever vigilant
-
:lol dwaino
That's a fair effort Gigantor. Do you aim for x amount of distance in y amount of time or just go out and see what happens? Yeah for me the hardest is watching what I eat, I'm very lazy at that
-
Used to time myself and worry about distance covered.now just go out for 30 min and run at a leisurely pace.
-
cold winter evenings sitting in front of the box its easy to just grab a bag of crisps and munch on them.
-
Bloody machine G. I'm struggling to get motivated after tearing my hammy. Being winter hasn't helped.
-
Run a few k on the treadmill a few times a week to burn off the rubbish I eat. Gets harder when you get older but I'm still a gun IMHO
-
The part of the body I most struggle with is the stomach despite my efforts the results in the tummy area are moderate at best.
Dwaino how did you tear it?
-
I try to squeeze in 5 commonwealth banks a day plus runs and walks
-
If coach was coming after me with one of his special boy videos I reckon I would run faster than Lids
-
Dwaino how did you tear it?
New coach at footy and had a really tough pre-season, and I think I was over training with some in between stuff. One day woke up a bit sore and tight right up the top on the attachment and went to training that night thinking I would just run it out (worked through a small calf tweak only a few weeks before it). It was only about 15-20 mins into training doing some sprint work and noticed I was losing 'elasticity' in one leg (if that makes sense). Kept pushing through and had trouble taking off and pulling up in some ball drills. Went for 5 mins breather and sat down to stretch it out... Couldn't walk again for another 3 days. Small progressive tear right on the attachment. Crap blood flow there so took months to get to even 90%. Then due to a slight pelvic imbalance (fell 3 meters when I was a kid and broke one) all the physio treatment and focus on the one side gave me some hip issues. Nothing major but means this season is over for me. So I've just got my feet up and procrastinating :lol when it warms up a bit and gets a bit more sunlight I'll get back into it so I'm ready to go for preseason training in November.

Do it right. I did mine ~5 years ago and didn't take care of it and it hasn't been right ever since. I've gotten serious the past year to get it right because it was getting out of hand and have been progressively upping the weight I use when exercising it. Still about 1/3 the strength in it than my other one.

I hear ya bra. I'm pretty confident I'll be fine because to be honest it feels great, I'm just being lazy. Understandably there is going to be some scar tissue but my physio assures me that as long as I get into some serious core strengthening before I start full on pre-season training I should be right. If it happens again however I definitely won't be calling Grimes for any advice.

Jekyll and hide here, but at least I'm consistent or I'd be stuffed. At least 30 - 40 ks walk run a week, gym volleyball (don't really count this as exercise) unless it pairs sandball.
Been doing yoga last year or so and have just started and just finished a Sesh for that matter of hot yoga, laugh all you like try a 90 minute session of hot yoga I'm stuffed.
-
:thumbsup good to hear. Bet it sucks being on the sideline though haha

Not really sure what hot yoga is (feel free to elaborate ;D), but I've done my share of yoga and although it wasn't really my thing I do have a respect for its difficulty.

Nup. We haven't won a game this season and will get the drop from Div 1 to 2 :lol

Yep the Vic comp. Unless a miracle happens I can't see us winning a few games to get off the bottom :lol we lost nearly half our seniors and ressies this season and we've got a lot of guys that haven't long come from juniors. Everyone has just accepted we're into rebuild and it's going to be a bit tough.

I think this is beyond us OERites. Maybe you can try bomberblitz I think they might have a few ideas

-
I'm pro squat

Went for a run along the yarra trail today.Now if anyone is bored or too lazy to do any exercise,go for a run or walk along this route on a nice sunny sunday arvo such as today.it not only blows out those laziness cobwebs but replenishes the soul.
The almost perfect way to begin the new week.
I almost forgot another important factor....some nice eye candy to be seen,although this route pales into insignificance to the eye candy to behold along the tan most weeknights

:thumbsup Probably beats my run along Frankston beach :lol
-
Nah I reckon that would have been just as good...nothing like a sea breeze to make you feel 21 again
-
Did you run today?
-
one trip to Melbourne i will around to running the tan..
-
Al let me tell you..i am fairly fit and the bodies I see running the tan whenever I go there makes me wanna put a potato sack over me..
-
Yeah I went for a quick one just before the clouds were coming over, well I ran towards them until I was under them and ran back ;D. Was feeling a bit crook (hungover) so the beach was a good choice.
-
Just had fish and chips.
:lol Dwaino, that comment reminded me of a WWOS feature on Thorpie around the 2000 olympics where the interviewer (A chubby Pommy guy who's name escapes me) challenged Thorpie to a race. During his narration he said "Here we stand on the blocks. Ian Thorpe, half man, half fish, and Me, Half Man, Half Chips. :lol

Footy season over with a 1 point loss :-[
-
If you play for Skye next year then I'll catch you next season since we got relegated to div 2 :cheers
-
Yep well that's the plan :thumbsup. Will probably only play 3rd's due to work (and being a spud). Unlucky about getting relegated
-
Relegation in Aussie Rules that's unreal.

Way it should be
-
I don't mind it. Would destroy some clubs though.
-
Nae, its better to try come 1st in 2nd league
Than try come 11th or tank
With two divisions you could have a fair home and away draw, too.
-
Depends how many divisions in the comp. Would be sad to see a successful div 1 club end up playing in div 3 or lower.
-
Let's blame Dwaino's hammy
-

SFL has 3 divs because of the amount of teams. It's fair IMO. Last years relegated team from div 1 to 2 finished mid table this year after not winning a game last year. We didn't get a single win this year and got belted in our last game by nearly 200. It's fair and even I reckon :cheers. We've turned over a lot of players recently and have a lot of young guys fresh out of juniors. No way we can compete with the cashed up clubs in div 1
-

I've always been in favour of promotion and relegation since the comp became unfair regarding the draw and while I agree with you Coach that it would be sad to see the demise of some clubs I'll bet Fitzroy would have preferred that over the forced amalgamation and move interstate.
-
Went for a run down the beach earlier. Probably put on 5 kgs in the last couple of months. Legs were certainly heavy by the end of it.
-
Coach ,did you run on the sand ? Sand running can really tax endurance,if you aint used to it
-
:banghead :banghead :banghead
My gyms becoming more and more packed with the seasonal gym goers trying to get their "summer bodies". Luckily I've just changed routines and don't need to go to gym as often
-

What do you mean brother? I didn't run on water ;D I was running closer to the water where the sand is harder rather than running on the thicker sand if that's what you mean. That poo is impossible to run in.

Why
Richmond win d3 flag then get promoted
Sounds better than 9th

Shut up

Four years ago I was a "pack a day" smoker who was probably the biggest couch potato going around.
The day I quit ( and that took around 20 attempts ) I decided to take up running.
At first it was a massive shock to the system....could barely run 1 km and experienced aches all over my body.
Fast forward to 2013 and I am proud of my running achievements this year. I have competed in
(1) 2 x 10km fun runs
(2) 2 x 12 km fun runs
(3) first ever half marathon (2hr 4min)
Next year my goals include doing another couple of half marathon ( hopefully going under 2hrs)
However next year I have set the goal of competing in a full marathon.
I just love running.
-
Shut up
Compelling argument
If two newly promoted teams were fixtured against , say, Chelsea one once and twice
It would be laughed at
In the AFL a similar situation happens all the time and no one blinks an eye
Its both unfair and silly. AFL should have promotion/ relegation. Or change the fixture so everyone plays opposition and equal amount of time
-
Shut up.

Good stuff man, always wanted to try a half marathon but long running just doesn't work well for me. More of a repeat short burst kind of runner
