The Getting Back/In Shape Thread

that's one thing I hate doing, running. I love lifting weights and stuff but to just go out and jog is tough.

Yeah dude, the first step out the door is always the hardest, once you're out there, it's more like "fuck it" till you get a little stamina built up, then more normal, then you feel superhuman! I remember climbing a wall a little above my height, easiest shit ever, no problem at all, tried it again a few weeks ago....

lol yeah i know what you mean pad...

i know im in shape when i can see my 8 pack and i havent seen them in a while... lol

I have 0 motivation and stamina atm. I know I really need to change my life and get fit and bigger but it's tough, especially as its like a struggle to even wanna get outta bed these days. Well it's been like that for a while. I know lack of exercise contributes to depression and I'm not helping myself, just hard to know where to start. I think I'd rather find a gym then wander the streets though. Nowhere to really run here

Day 3 - May 19, 2012

Rested

Day 4 - May 20, 2012

Distance: 2.92 mi
Duration: 50:32
Calories burned: 213
Average speed: 3 mi/h
Pace: 17.14 min/mi (long uphill walk)

Notes: So after 3 days of consistent exercise I'm barely starting to notice the slight increases in stamina. Nothing substantial yet though. Been eating much better than usual, and have dramatically cut out soft drinks and have stuck to mainly water since the 16th. I tend to stay up pretty late which is sometimes an issue for late night snacking, but I've been countering that with fruit or water lately.

i wanted to try this fitness thing, but i was too shy with my other profile hehe. is it weird that i have an alternate account?

What are you shy about?

cool thread. i was a wrestler (no, not WWF) in high school and college. maintaining weight was never an issue. after college i went from 189lbs. to 248lbs. in about a year. i was such a lardass. soda and junk food was my downfall. took me about 2 years to get back into good shape.

some great info on here. running is not for everyone. the best exercise for me is swimming. even if it's just the breast stroke. like the OP said, you gotta let yourself have a little indulgence every once and a while too. just not everyday.

It's all good man, I got chubby too. No need to post with an alternate account, even if somebody made fun of you, fuck em, it's just the internet. But whatever, it's all good, do what you wanna do.

I'm taking some pictures soon too, fuck it
