Any Gym go'er's?

[Crow]

so i recently signed up to the gym at the top of the street with a guy from work, its good because he knows what he's doing, knows proper routines and such and isn't too different from the weights i use though he usually uses heavier. So anyone go?

[Ihsiin]

Goers is correct. You didn't need those apostrophes.
My friends are forever asking me to join a gym, making promises of strength and ‘tonkness’, but I'm far too lazy.
So, no.

Just recently joined a gym with a friend, its pretty good always wanted to join to get into shape for summer really but never got round to it, It's preety cheap aswell and real nice on the inside only thing missing is a swimming pool which kinda sucks but it has preety much everything else

Meh I work for a living by the end of the day I feel pretty much exhausted. An eight hour day is more than enough to keep me fit and toned.

[Raitei]

In truth.. i don't need to. i play at least an hour of football a day
and rollerblade 2 hours on a friday

[Ratu]

Yes because work pays for it, but I really only swim

I go to the gym at least 3 times a week, been lifting and such, do cardio 30 mins each time I'm there.

Need to lose my belly a bit, mainly because of the drinking, but I want to get stronger too.

[Milly]

I would If I had time, but I ride horses which usually keeps me fit, and constantly being on the go helps aswell

[koten]

No. I don't possibly have enough strength to do any more exercise than I already do (20 hours a week of Martial arts class is already bordering on too much)

[Dhulfiqar]

I run a bunch and do the occaisional pool workout with some friends. Once in a while I can be spotted at the gym in my dorm's basement.

I'm pretty satisfied with my fitness level right now, though I'd like to get into a gym schedule to strengthen my upper body.

i wish i could... i just dont have time to make it worth my money. I go to school, do my homework before work, and then head to work till about 10:45 on a typical day. I go bike riding when i can, although i havent for weeks now. I move a lot while at chick-fil-a, so that should be good enough... just gotta watch what i eat and drink there.

i wish i could bulk up some though.

Works all major muscle groups.

i go to a gym here on campus, and i strength train 3 times a week. Im currently bulking, and ive gained 15 pounds in less than a month.

[Gilly]

I've been going to the gym at least a few days a week.
I always go for about an hour before all my classes start.

I can't see how that'd work chest and triceps though

[Benson]

It probably doesn't.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

Just go swimming a lot... you won't bulk up, but it is teh best excercise one can get.

2nd would be gymnastics, which is the coolest kind of excercise because it looks cool.

[Mr. Witt]

Euhugheugheugh when I'm not feeling so lazy I'll make another big long workout post.

I'm not a huge guy myself but I have so many bodybuilder friends that like, I know the ropes about as well as one can know them, lol.

In the meantime you can maybe search for one of my older posts where I laid down a few paragraphs on the subject.

[Teh Roxor!]

I have never been in a gym, but I think I may start using the one on my campus. I'm tired of being a sack of shit.

[BigfootGus]

I play basketball almost every day for a couple hours
And sometimes football on the weekends

I dont really lift weights too much, so no point really going to a gym

You have to hold your chest sturdy while you push with your legs to transfer power from your feet to the handle, and then the next part of the motion is pulling back from the hips.

Indoor rowing is one of the most challenging forms of exercise as it works most major muscular areas of the body, as well as being an excellent cardiovascular exercise. Ergometer rowing entails both high levels of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, so the benefits can be great, but this comes with some risk of injury.

Unlike high impact exercises, which can damage knees and the connective tissues of the lower body, rowing's most common injury site is likely the lower back. Proper technique is a necessity for staying injury free, with a focus on both mechanics and breathing, as correct rhythm, exhaling on the drive and inhaling on the recovery, is a stabilizing force for the upper body. Non-rowers commonly overemphasize the muscles of the upper body, while correct technique uses the large muscle of the thighs to drive much of the stroke. Also, good technique requires that the angle of the upper body is never too far forward, nor too far back, both of which jeopardize the lower back.

In addition to the high levels of fitness attained, rowing is an intense calorie-burning exercise. Although rowers with less ability and training will burn fewer calories, the ergometer is an excellent tool for use in a weight-loss program.
