Thread: General Fitness Upkeep

I find the best thing to get the lungs working is yell out to TimeRider to bring me the remote. Other than that I don't really do any exercise as such. Dougie will verify that this keeps me slow and out of shape.

Other than that Dougie, when I was your age (long, long ago) I used to bike everywhere. I had a motorbike and a van, but I used to bike everywhere; normally about 40km a day. As GravelBen said you have to push down on those peddles to make it work. A good indication is that if you can walk when you get there then you were not pushing hard enough. In those days I was great on the hills and could easily carry two 20kg packs, (happened way too often). Swimming is also good for building stamina and breath control.

As shown by different people on here there are lots of things you can do. The big thing is find out which one that hits the right areas for you you enjoy. If it is a task to do it you probably wont stick at it, if you enjoy it you'll be more likely to continue. Be inventive. Personally I wouldn't have spent 20 minutes of my life in a gymn (other than with a physio standing over me), too many posers on a fashion parade.

Yep this is the main reason I gave crossfit a go. Tried the gym at uni, hated it. with crossfit its small groups of everyday people with similar goals, and in its own way it makes everyone equal....you're all f&*ked at the end of a session

As long as you don't have to cross dress for crossfit!

Yeah but when some of those posers (female!!) bend over only one muscle seems to be getting a workout
