Newbie 0 #1 January 14, 2006 God i hate gym's, so damn boring. It's too cold to hit the bball court so i'm trying to get innovative and fun winter workout routines down while i wait for it warm up a bit. At the moment i'm just using free weights and skipping inside (without rope). What else doyou guys do (indoors or out i guess) to keep trim without going to the gym?

Amanda965 0 #9 January 14, 2006 The gym I go to has a relly great schedule of classes that are super challenging and they have a great mix of guys and girls. I went to a boxing class today. Had to bring our own gloves, paired off with a different person for each set, really hit and wore myself the f out! Look into some things like that. Other than that, weights are what will get your metabolism in gear and get you toned. I saw a trainer for 3 sessions and he STRESSED weights big time- working your whole body. Then do some cardio to burn off calories and fat- that is where the classes and ANYTHING BUT RUNNING ON A TREADMILL come into play Good luck- I just started up hardcore, changed my diet too, and I am feeling so much better!!Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GARYC24 3 #10 January 14, 2006 I stretch alot, even while doing little things, tieing shoes, etc. Also, sit up straight, improves posture. Basically alot of little loosening arms excercises, neck and breath (exale using stomach muscles, hard to explain) Not to mention just plain old work related stuff. Since getting back into a Combat TKD & Hapkido classes, I try to make lots of little things an excercise and/or a stretch.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #18 January 15, 2006 Yes, the runs are GREAT for my new doggie. Usually I run 2-4 miles and he loves it. He much prefers that, than a walk. I love climbing, but it can frustrate me. I MUCH prefer repelling A friend and avid base-jumper asked me why I was waiting to go someplace *special* to do a base-jump when there are tons of towers great around. I replied b/c then I could fly a helicopter to the top and jump off w/out having to climb. He thinks this is cheatingPaint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

NlghtJumper 0 #20 January 15, 2006 Mountain Climbers: 1. Hands on floor with shoulders over hands. 2. One leg tucked, one leg extended. 3. Weight should be placed on balls of feet. 4. As quickly as possible "climb" alternating legs back and forth. Rocky's Do a regular sit up, when you get to the up portion, cross your right elbow to your left knee, then cross over to your left elbow to your left knee, then go down. 6 Inches Lay flat on your back [hands under your butt is optional, but makes it a little easier for most] and bring your feet about 6 inches off the ground and hold for as long as you possibly can Flutter Kicks Start by lying flat on your back on a mat with your arms by your sides and your palms down. Extend your legs fully with a slight bend in your knees. Lift your heels about 6 inches off the floor. Make small, rapid up and down scissor-like motions with your legs. The key is to focus on having your midsection do the work and to keep your abs constantly contracted throughout the exercise.

KrisFlyZ 0 #22 January 15, 2006 I am walking 4.5 miles back from work each day. Carrying about 20 lbs of weight a stash bag. Try to do the walk in about 50 mins. I do stop at a grocery store that is about half way to buy stuff for dinner and that adds more weight for the second half of the journey. I wish the walk had more of a grade to it. Kris.

Lindsey 0 #24 January 15, 2006 I got to the gym whenever I can, but otherwise I BICYCLE! Gotta put in a plug for my little boy. My 8 y/o has been wanting to ride with me. The other day I took him on a 15 mile bike ride along some pretty stiff hills. He never complained once....except when we were just around the corner from the house he said (in jest of course...lol), "Mom. I'm tired. We're gonna have to turn around and go back." Now he wants a road bike. Trek, Orbea, and Felt have some nice junior sized road bikes. Bianchi has one too (equipped with Campy components), but the celeste won't do for him. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.
