The Exercise Thread

Hey MOBsters,

Man. I miss the time I was in college and literally lived four flights directly over the gym. So simple!

Do you also have trouble staying motivated to keep exercising regularly? Do you feel like your lack of regular exercise may impede your reflexes in clan matches? Are you a human being?

If you answered "YES" to any of the above (see what I did there?) then this is the thread for you.

I'm not overweight or anything, but I do have trouble exercising regularly. It's on and off for me, even though I don't have any good excuse. Starting tomorrow, I will post what exercising I did that day (treadmill, generic cardio, tae bo, weights, etc). I'm trying to use psychology to my advantage - by committing to this thread and making it public, I realize everyone will know if I don't exercise by my lack of posting.

So here goes, my exercising revolution! Please feel free to join me and together we'll keep each other in check. XD

Good for u vin!!! Im no expert but I love this sort of thing. What is ur diet like, what are ur goals? I have a ton of links on diet and exercise and I'm sure some will tickle ur fancy! Lol. I tell everyone this, take a good multi vitamin!!! So worth it, less than 50 cents a day to get ur vitamins and minerals. Go for it Vin, I'll be right there with you!!!

omg Vin im with you!! Tomorrow I start a carb diet and its going to be so hard!! but ive been going to the gym so that will keep me going! I love going to the gym. I go with my sister in law and we have a blast

I try to go running or bike riding everyday. and swimming is the best!

I cant stick to diets hahahaaaa, so I just try to exercise to balance this out.
Exercising is so much easier with a friend! It's funner too! So you could also try that.
Andd yess support is good. If you cant eat something, make your significant other or friends suffer too!

If you don't exercise I am totally gonna kick your ass. Motivation, right?

But yay, exercise! Good luck Vin, we'll keep on your case x]

A carb diet sunny? You mean no/low carbs?

Alright Vin, I'll do it with you haha. I'll see if I can't get back to lifting weights often again lol.... :'(

yes Cutey haha sorry I was tired last night hahaha but im not going by it 100% im just staying away from bread =/, pasta =[ and pizza =C hahaha those smiley faces are scientifically proven on how sad I am that I cant eat those foods (I wore glasses so its right)

Haha bunny, love the progression of the frownys. It can be very difficult! Stick withit, it works really well though. I try to eat like that too and I have such a sweet tooth t suck!!!! No cookies for me either :0

WHAAAAA No cookies? How can you be in this clan and not eat cookies??? lol. So....I'm gunna lift weights later, someone remind me >=3. I think we should all kudo posts when people work out to make them feel good lol.

I WORKED OUT AT 6 AM YO! and then went to the store. START GIVING ME KUDOS POSTS hahaha just kindding =] but a foot massage would be awesome

Lol if you fly to missouri, you will receive one free foot massage lol.

lmao hmmm hahaha plus my feet are so tickleish i dont think i could possibly ever sit through a foot massage bahaha

Haha first knees, now feet Italian? And bah, who needs to be fit. Curvy ftw yo


Totally justifying my own borderline-overweight status haha --> win
I used to exercise a lot, but then I stopped playing Final Fantasy style RPGs and no longer got excited when I got fitness+1 after exercising

Aww curvey is awesome bb >=3 only in women though lol. For us guys, we have to be skinny, because we don't need cushion for the pushin >=3 lol.

I did 50 curls with both arms today, only 5lbs though. I'll work my way back up to 25 :'( lol. Maybe tomorrow we'll try some sit ups >=3

Hey guys! Thanks for all the responses, I think this is a great way to keep everyone motivated and healthy. It's well-known that people who have friends who engage in healthy habits are more likely to have healthy habits themselves!

It's 1:47pm where I am and I just finished a 30-min Tae Bo workout with Billy Blanks. Soon I'll be "celebrity fit" just like the title promises Granted, it's a 45-min workout but I got super tired. I was especially enthusiastic with the exercises today, though, so I think the 30 minutes I put into it were well worth it!

I'm exhausted but at the same time feel an energy rush already. Hurray, exercise! I may do some more stuff later today, or I may continue tomorrow. In either case, BB's threats to fly across the Atlantic and kick my butt if I didn't exercise totally worked!!

Thanks all! Keep it up!

Yay Vin! You rock lmao Go have a cookie haha.

Although why are you working out anyway? You look healthy enough

YAY!! hehe omg im not in to totally skinny guys. bleehhh they have to match my chunkiness hahaha

Lol you're curvy which is amazing >=3

I need to work out tooooooo lol fp has ruined my bball time XD

I was supposed to go running everyother day but i forgot today cuz of PS3 failures.....XD I'm gonna make sure I don't miss it again.

lmao

I like this health craze we are all on lol. I got mine in, chest and back. Plyometrics tomorrow :o

Plyometrics???

I just did some bicep curls! I think I'll do chest tomorrow. If anyone has any good exercises, send me your suggestions.

A really good workout that's just simple to do is to do 3 sets of jumping jacks, ab crunches, and squats. Do 30 of each and than stop. Then every 30 min or hour do some more. And just raise the amount you want to do everyday.
