Any of you fellas fitness freaks? Or even just enjoy the occasional run or gym session?

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.

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?

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.

Bloody machine G. I'm struggling to get motivated after tearing my hammy. Being winter hasn't helped.

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.

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.

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.

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

With two divisions you could have a fair home and away draw, too.

Relegation in Aussie Rules that's unreal.

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.

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.

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

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
