Just a little curious here, but what does everyone do to stay/get fit?
I do cheerleading and random long walks of about 24 miles.

Needless to say, my self confidence is through the roof at the moment!
Being over 6 foot does that to you
I'm not critisizing you at all so don't get me wrong , but it takes you an hour to do 80 push-ups , 60 pull ups and 100 crunches ? Don't you do 80 push-ups in a row or do you take breaks ? Now 60 pull ups is pretty good considering 10 is what a very fit person can do without stopping so I assume you don't do 60 in a row ? Just curious . I've worked my way up to 100 push-ups without stopping and about 15 pull ups . 100 crunches is good if you do it every day . My advice for whatever it's worth , is you need variety , the body adapts to specific movements so you need to ad variety to train all your muscles .
I know I need to start exercising soon.
lol, no not all at once, i do 2x10 pushups, 2x10 pullups, and 2x20 crunches, then i do that 3 times over, yeah it takes me an hour cos i do it slowly to make sure the form is good, with breaks etc, stretching in between, i used to just do pushups but like you say you need variety and i have definitely noticed the difference since i mixed it up a bit......
I used to swim three mornings a week, but that's since gone out of the window. Must try and start that up again.
I dance and walk mainly I have been thinking about kickboxing or even playing netball again which was my best sport at school.
I suppose when you read it like that i should be built like a bloody athlete but i'm not as it just makes up for the fact i drink too much to be healthy
It works for me
Occaisionally I feel motivated enough to go for a run around the moor but it usually rains. :yeees:
