20kg in under 3 monts is an awesome effort Rushy! Keep it up
It is going to cost me a fortune in new clothes soon. Unless of course I go retro and start wearing all my old shit. I think my Missus would ream me a new arsehole though if I started wearing flared trousers and lace up shirts so probably best to abandon that thought.
I have never been good at training, for rowing I'd go out and row a couple of hours before and after school every day. Other than that I'd find some work that would get the fitness levels up so someone would effectively pay me to train. Things like courier, shelter belt planting, farm fencing, .... Never seen the point in forking out good money when not necessary.
I still go hard out like an 18 year old but usually recover in a couple of hours.
Yeah I might have to start going to my mates boot camp and flip some tyres.
Those that live around each other could start up a few social games of touch or what have you between forum members, I know I find it much easier chasing a ball, problem would be the amount of beer consumed afterwards.
I'm sure you could rock your old gear and bring it back into fashion Rushy. Bet you have a few leather cowboy jackets with the tassles hiding in the closet...
Does the roar make most of you get off your ass and get fit?
Top effort there Rushy. I must admit that I've been doing a bit since Christmas too and have managed to put on 1-2kg. One thing with my condition (the boss stumbled onto something about it a couple of weeks back, seemed to make her eyes a bit wet translating my kiwi understatement to the article) is I cannot sit around long, I have to get up and move frequently or I seize up pretty bad.
It has taken me some time to find this but persevered and found it way down the back reaches
Enjoy

Hell Rushy that's an awesome effort!
I lost 12 kg a year ago and managed to keep it off. Put a bit back on but hopefully not fat.
20kg is another story.
You'll fit into your old service dress and can have Rushy parades at home.

The thing I like about getting fit is that you only get out what you put in, there is no pussy footing around, excuses or easy way.
To get fit you just need to get your heart rate up as high as you can for as long as you can, that simple. A 10km walk up and down hills does nothing for your fitness unless you are just dordleing and don't push yourself. Most people would be surprised at how quick you can pick your fitness up by running 3 times a week for 15min if you make sure you push yourself to collapse. Only need to run 1-2 times a week to maintain.
You would be surprised at how big of a difference it makes to speed walking around hills with a pack on. Having an active job doesn't make you fit, most farmers etc don't realise how unfit they are until they run 5km with a person who does a small amount of cardio.
Well it works for me, I'm far from an expert though.
Far from an expert aye fatty ;)
haha na you had a bit of pace the other day
Every two days without fail, well that's a lie actually, sometimes I slip. I load the young wirehaired pointer in the truck , take him out to a back road and let him out, I then make him sit while I get back in the truck and he runs 3.6ks to the end of the road, whence I put him back in the truck.
On weekends I sometimes take him to the river and throw a stick for him untill I'm tired.
Works for me.
6 baltika's (500ml Russian lager) followed by a 5km run. Beats the 20yr olds and their pre mixed RTDs any day!!! All that sugar is bad-makes them spew.
Cross fit, running, gym, and an energetic girlfriend (ok ex) make for all the fitness I care for!:thumbsup:
I do dumb shit like this which keeps me pretty fit

Bet you would win by TKO or no contest though, other men would be too scared to get in the ring with ya, something unholy might happen (and it rhymes with grape)
Didn't that Hopoate fulla get into boxing after being banned from league... I figured he was happy to find a sport where you were supposed to get into the ring.
Ba boom tish! I thought he moved to football to play for Arsenal?
I don't. I work on a computer for 40 hours a week (and hate it), and don't do enough exercise as a result. Hence why I'm unfit and overweight :thumbsup:
gimp tries to kill/motivate me with boxing sessions whenever he's back in town, but that's about it.
Every second night I do a 6km run when home. At work I try do 4-5km most days but it depends how hot it is. I also use a jump rope at times.
I try to hunt as much as I can, when i do go I will spend fair bit of time in the bush. Thats helps a wee bit.
And try to avoid Maccas and KFC.
KFC was required the other morning due to a 30th :thumbsup:
I used to work in more physical jobs and didnt have to worry about fitness. Now im.in the office all day or at board tables and watch my fitness fade with each morning tea.... i did a phase of heavy training in the gym for a while. Was a bit of fun but got bigger than i wanted to be and felt heavy. Have been doing a bit of crossfit stuff lately and heaps of chin ups, body weight work etc (look up hannibals training on you tube) can train anywhere with this type training which is handy as i prefer tk be outside. Have been doing a few boxing trainings of late too. Used to do tkd which was good. Was in the bboy scene a few years back and that kept you fit and strong
5.30am I box twice a week about 1.5hrs each session a mix of strength, cardio and bag work then sparring. Gym two of the other days cardio & strength. Then at least twice a week mostly at night ill walk around our local hilli streets with my pack on weighted with water bottles to about 15kg. ..... have also been known to mow the lawns with my pack on......
Food is important, I maintain a basic diet plenty a veg, nuts fruit, eggs tuna etc etc, I struggle not having a beer or few , I gotta work hard on that ...... booze is a fitness killer.....
I train in Muay Thai 3 times a week for 1.5 hrs a time, plus farm work keeps me trim and fit .
I train 3 times a week doing Kyokushin Karate... is great for mind and body (without sounding to Zen)
...Also helps when it comes to work with some of the retards I have to deal with .. they tend have more :beer: than brains
