Thread: General Fitness Upkeep

Lots of hunting is the best way to keep hill fit. I try to get out for a good walk in the hills 2-3 times a week. Work keeps me pretty hill fit too, walking about in the trees, clambering over slash and thinnings etc. I've started doing crossfit too which is awesome....and highly recommend it for people who don't like running, or boring routine workouts.

As for food 7 weetbix and a banana every morning washed down with a coffee. Lunch is usually left overs from dinner or a big chicken and salad bun from the local bakery. Evenings, heaps of veges and good quality meat. For snacks usually srcoggin or nuts, or a piece of fruit. And very little junk food. I might have a pie once a month, never have take-out if at all possible, don't drink coke etc unless its with rum, limit myself to a beer a night or none all week and a blow out in the weekend. Cakes, chips and biscuits on rare ocassions.

I think its very important to eat healthily, and eat as much unprocessed food as possible. It's not that hard. Im lucky, I'm one of those people who can eat whatever I want and I used to, but now I eat decent food and feel a sh*t load better and have a heap more energy.

whats your Fran time? Started crossfit too - killing me but great fitness for limited time frame

As for my routine (if you can call it that!) I am running every second day. I take the dog for a walk/muck around up to three times every day but I don't think that counts. The 'favorite' run at the moment is just under 3km. Yes, you say this is short, but for me this is good work. I didn't use to be able to even walk up the first hilly bit without wheezing to near death!

I love my baking and deserts. I usually bake low sugar and low butter stuff (oat cookies, banana muffins etc). I do however make up cupcakes occationally and also my version of the Cookietime buscuits. I have plenty of yogurt though (high sugar). I also drink coffee and tea. I am sure there are a lot more things I could be doing to loose the chubbs but I do also enjoy how I have been living, so I'm not changing too much from that!
