Training is the greatest high

[Impulse87]

I train two times a week by doing the forms of my kung-fu style and running, I used to lift weights two times a week in addition to the kung-fu but i don't live as close to the gym as i used to

man bolt is hardcore I admire that type of dedication :thumbs:

I'm really glad that i got off my ass and started working out since I was such a lazy punk in high school :laugh:

I only do stretching and yoga to keep limber and in shape.

I use to do some weights at the gym but frankly paying $100 a month was not worth it despite the fact they had a swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, rock climbing wall. The thing was you had to make appointments to use practically everything in that gym but the actual weight room.

I take yoga at the local college since it's only $125 a semester. Way cheaper the in a gym or other local yoga studio.

During my senior year of high school our teacher let me and friend use one of the 2 basketball courts for sword/kendo/duelling/combat practice. we did 40 minutes a day 5 days a week, full contact using plastic baseball bats, staffs and whiffle sticks. some days we did unarmed combat but mostly we did armed.
Ever since last March or April, my mom and I have been going to a gym. She does treadmill and weights. I do weights for strength on 5 or 6 machines 120 reps on each, going from sixty, to forty, to 20. for the first set I do a rep of 20 at 10lbs, 20 at 20lbs, 20 at 30lbs on 1 machine then go to another machine, do the same thing. Then I do 1 rep of 20 at 10 lbs, and 1 rep of 20 at 20 lbs, go to another. Finally I do one rep of 20 at 30lbs on all machines.

After that I do cardio, which is either 20-30 minutes of racquetball or 30 minutes on the heavy bag [punches only], plus 15 minutes of punching drills.
I usually go at least 3 to 5 times a week.

Running is the best cardio.

WRONG. Running is extremely overrated (really, cardio in general is). Any extended low-output exercise is mostly just a waste of time unless your goal in life is to be able to beat Forest Gump in a distance run or something. It compromises strength and explosive-power gains, converts your "fast-twitch" speed muscle fibers to "slow-twitch" in order to sustain movement for longer periods of time, is bad for your joints, and it makes you all sweaty and it sucks and is lame. Even if your goal is to burn fat, short bursts of high intensity exercises jack your metabolism like crazy and also switch the energy stores from muscle glycogen to fat stores (following a high-intensity weight training workout with a jog is a great idea, for instance, because the lifting has expended most of your muscle glycogen energy, and the body gets confused and switches to fat stores for burning purposes); sprints, punch-out drills, circuit training, anything high output for no longer than a few minutes at a time. Diet is important too... 70% of the "six pack" is getting lean enough in the midsection that the abdomen is visible.

Hey thanks! Anybody could do what I do though... I'm really a very lazy person. It just takes time and drive to make yourself give 100 even when you're tired, sore, sick, on your period, missing a vital organ or cursed by black magic. This is my not-in-school-schedule though, I'll probably cut about a fourth of that when my semester starts.

I'm a wrestler. I lift and then I go live with a friend of mine.

Actually, for females, exercising while on your period is a good way to speed up the process. A woman can have shorter periods if she does light exercises while on her period

I ride my bike for miles every night when the weather and temperature is on my side.
