How fit or strong are you?

[HenryDorsetCase]

After the stupid earthquakes I realised that I was a fat little unhappy angry man, and that I should do something about that.

So I started going to the gym, and honestly, its been the best thing I could have done. My pants fit me better, my outlook on life is more positive, I drink a lot less (lot of empty calories in grog, yo!) and I tend to eat better too: less chocolate and cakes and stuff.

my drug of choice is a boxing gym. I mainly do fitness classes with a little very light sparring thrown in. I love it, plus the instructors and people that go there are great.

We were doing a class last night which included the "Bring Sally Up" pressup challenge. This is one of those "Seems easy/is easy...... until the last minute" drills.

You get the idea from the vid below. Note we were not doing handstand pressups.

:bleh:

none this week. clearly I am improving.

none last week but I was sick.

Its not hard, eh? keep your hands up and protect your face........ :)

[sil3nt]

Used to do Thai Boxing. Trained overseas for a month, 2-3 hour trainings twice a day which was awesome. But when I came back I got sick doing the same thing every night so gave it up and undid all that hard work pretty quick.

Now do Crossfit which has been awesome. I did sally up/down doing burpees the other week. And that was just the warmup before the actual workout. I seriously hate burpees :sleep:

fuck yes. and all the wee "tweaks" they think of. Oh yeah layflat burpees! pressup burpees! pressup burpees with tuck jump! clapping pressup burpees....

sadistic is what it is.

[Mike.Gayner]

I'm the fittest I've ever been, which isn't really saying much. I do a crossfit-style group workout 3x a week and try to chuck something else in other days, e.g. a run etc. I measure my fitness using the old army fitness test, particularly the 2.4km run. Currently running my best ever time of 9:46, and recently did a 5km in under 24mins. So yeah, not fit by superman standards but not too bad for me.

Still flabby though, because I have zero discipline with diet and drinking.

[jasonu]

Many years ago I signed up at Les Mills gym for a whole year and went every day for 3 days..

[Erelyes]

A couple years ago I used to go to the gym, just did strength stuff with barbells. Stronglifts 5x5 at first then later a 5/3/1 variation.

Quit for a variety of reasons; I had some De Quervain's that I thought was being exacerbated by it (turns out lifting neither really hurt or hindered it though). Plus my second-hand membership ran out and I was too tight to buy at full price...

TBH I really should get it going again though, fuck the excuses.

You're right, it is amazing how much of a difference to health and general wellbeing it is. It's also a great tool to combat depression if running/swimming aren't your thing.

Looked at buying a cage/bench and barbell to work out at home (why pay for the gym's 1001 machines when I use just a couple of things), but being 6ft3 I'd need to put holes in the ceiling if I wanted to press or do cleans :pinch:

[bluninja]

My fitness has dropped after a few months of illness. Due to head back to the gym in the next week, just been doing the gentle judo twice a week for 3 hours a time.

I'm still strong enough to do 100 practice throws (move into the throw, lift them off the floor, put them back down, move out) on someone 115kgs without breaking sweat or breaking down but I've a long way to go to even granddad (masters) level competition fitness.

[Gremlin]

I doubt I'll see my high school days again, when I was in the cycling team, weighed 68kg and 6'2. Eating just to put on some fat to then burn off.

Now I'm more like 6'3 and 100kg... ratio has skewed a tad :sweatdrop However, I decided last year that sitting at a desk in IT and being healthy wasn't probably going to work, so I bought a mountain bike (no desire to go back to road cycling), started getting out with mates, turned it social etc (only once or twice a month). It's an extension to motorbiking as the mountain bike is allowed in even less accessible places than the motor versions. We live in a great country. I'm no way near fit, but I'm better off for it. Earlier this year I ended up not getting out for a couple of months, the first run was a sharp shock, with the lack of rides so noticeable it was scary.

Now trying to commit to at least once a month (if not more), do around 15-20km of all terrain, be a little careful on what I eat and drop the weight to around 90kg. I still love food tho, but aware of the penalty (more mountain biking).

That said, when we're at Woodhill, there is a Jesters van in the middle of the day... I'm not sure that the delicious pie is the best choice afterwards, but god it tastes good :innocent:

[5ive]

How fit/strong? Over 9000!

But really I'm just doing a balancing act at the moment, with little (intentional) exercise, sensible drinking, and a healthy diet.

I used to be exceptionally fit when I was younger from sports and being in the Army, and also from a little farming, but I moved to the big smoke to study and subsequently sit on my arse all day behind computer screens making money.

Needless to say I got fat.

Not land-whale fat, but just fat enough for myself and others to notice when wearing tight clothing and reaching for the beers on the top shelf at the supermarket. I was also in a long term relationship with a good country girl who also likes to eat, drink, travel and do everything in excess (now my wife, who somehow has hollow legs that keep her slim), so didn't care about looking tip-top for the ladies. Just lifted some free-weights at home to maintain some muscle, and walked to work everday.

Fast forward a little, general lifestyle changes and preparing for the future (kids) finally kicked me into gear so I picked up an exercycle and a mountain bike and I started to gradually increase my efforts to a daily routine of about 80km per day. Commuting to/from work including hill climbs, and an hour of riding the exercycle before and after the commute. Threw in some free weights for fun occasionally.

After almost a year I had lost almost 20kg :yes:

So my wife was getting fat due to pregnancy, and I gotten slim (so says she) - and there was no way I could celebrate that fact at the time ;)

So our son was born and my free time somehow dissapeared somewhere, so I simply dropped the exercycle and maintained the commute and diet. And now a further year and a half later I have swapped the mountain bike for a motorcycle, and taken up infrequent runs in the morning.

3 months in, no real noticeable change in health, my son is like a free-weight that increases each time I pick him up, and the running is doing it's job.

I reckon the basic framework for being healthy is just to eat a decent breakfast, keep your body active during the week, don't eat late at night, only have junk food as an occasional treat, and take it easy on the alcohol.

From there, anything else is a lot easier to acheive, but takes a lot more discipline and upkeep for the results - I just wish I had the time...

[R650R]

Well for my age group (old enough to enter Masters category now at next MTB events) not too bad. It's kinda hard to quantify as there are varying degrees of fitness depending on activity.
But for me a 20km mountain bike ride with several significant climbs is no worries and fun, although with flu and injury haven't ridden in several weeks but normally 2-3 rides a week.
Survived Karapoti 50km MTB race twice in recent years in weekend warrior class.
Spent a year doing Jiu Jitsu before I realised I was a bigger danger to myself than anyone on the street despite the awesome quality of the instructors. The wrestling and grappling aspect of it really built my core strength up good and instilled good instincts in using your muscles only in the proper way where they have strength. The sparring aspect was great cardio workout, recommend any of the boxing style workouts, fitness wise.
Hand loading a full b-train worth of freight forwarders consignments was always a good workout but counteracted by all the pies and ice creams on the road (non smoker so I snack instead).
Was probably fittest when I used to hand unload about 300+ cartons (12 chep plt) of alcohol across and south and west Auckland bottlestores. And that was only part of the working day.
Hover around 90kg at moment...

[PrincessBandit]

I'm neither. (Fit or strong, that is). At 5'2" I weighed 64kg until I hit the big "M" word (that word, for ladies - no, not Marriage :laugh: ) and then my weight blew out of proportion to a peak of 78kg. That's a lot for a short arse!!!

Through sensible portion sizes and drinking heaps of green tea (I'm sure there is something in that) I am close to my goal of getting rid of the first number being a 7 in my weight. The other incentive is my son's gf being able to wear my leathers which I no longer fit, and they practically fall off her :weep:

Alas, I have no particular desire to be fit. The only way I could be convinced to regain the fitness of my youth would be to do the things I used to love doing then - dancing and gymnastics. The former I might be able to get back into; the latter - yeah nah.:eek:

[MisterD]

Playing Over-35's football is it for me. 90 minutes of training on a Wednesday, somewhere a little bit less than that of a match on a Saturday (rolling subs) with the occasional run, swim or wind-trainer session fitted in elsewhere in the week.

It's enough to earn the post-match beers.

[Stirts]

my weight blew out of proportion to a peak of 78kg. That's a lot for a short arse!!!

I hear ya...I am just too short for my weight :p

I go to the gym 4x a week at 4:30am (I hate talking to people at the gym). I lift heavy two days and lighter with higher reps the other two, on an upper/lower split. I get grumpera and tiredera if I don't go now. :crazy: I have even discovered my body aches more if I don't go.

I struggle with food though. ..I love it!

But I no longer go to get the "perfect bod", I go because it makes me feel strong and healthy.

[unstuck]

Fit enough and strong enough to embarrass dudes half my age, which I love doing. And I smoke 30 a day and the only real exercise I get nowadays is walking and dirtbiking and sex. Always been a bit of a scrapper and love a challenge, and pain can be strangely motivating. A mate of mine was a NZ rep for kickboxing and I used to spar with him until he went to ozzy a couple of years ago, mental strenght is where it is at for me these days, loving that shit.:niceone:

[Edbear]

Me? Fit and strong? :laugh:

That was a long time ago. :(

[Drew]

Not fit at all. Wasn't gonna reply, but then I read the bit about handstand pressups. Those I can do.

[tigertim20]

I started getting fit again about 2 years ago. got fat and outta shape. Found something to do that meant I could learn AND get fit. I cant fucking stand sitting there, pushing a bar up and down, fuck that shit, I need something to hold my attention.
Lost 26kg in 8 months, got into the best shape Ive physically been in in my entire life, and by a long shot, the fittest Ive ever been.

Happier at home, happier at work, which has been noticed with several promotions, healthier food tastes better, and a lot of doors have opened for me as a result that has massively improved the quality of my life.

Should have done it sooner,

I know exactly what you mean about pointlessly lifting weights. What I do involves quite a bit of thinking (in terms of technique and strategy). Although to quote Mike Tyson, everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face.

Lifting heavy weights involves a fair bit of thinking also...the heavier you lift the more you need to concentrate on your form/technique to engage the right muscle group and ensure premium gains. You don't do that, then yes, utterly pointless.

[Hoon]

Always had to stay in shape and always struggled until I started Crossfit at the beginning of the year. Now I'm the fittest and strongest I've ever been, can eat whatever I want (cept I don't do sugar or wheat/flour) and smash any physical task that comes my way.

Funny too I used to hate on Crossfit pretty bad and only did it to keep the wife company. Now we both go 4-6 times a week and loving it (well me not at the mo, broke my leg doing Army stuff).

Expensive though but if you can spare the $200 a month, give it a crack for 3 months and see what you think.

Yep before Crossfit I used to jog and do 3x5 starting strength in my garage but just could never get the cardio/strength balance right. Proud of my cage and Olympic bumper plate setup though (about $2k worth) and still training upper body/core while my leg heals. My OH presses are just short of the ceiling and I'm only 5'11.

I started going to the gym 2 years ago. Chubby 1.73m 66kg. I'm now 82kg and less chubby. I'm fit enough to do most physical tasks with ease. I'll start my diet again soon to lose the excess weight and hopefully get down to 8% body fat at about 75kg in 2-3 months. I can lose 2kg in a good week, 1kg in a slow week if I stick to my training. #shredforsummer #firsthashtagonkiwibiker.

[Akzle]

paintball, sport climbing, building, digging, paving, rape, all good fitness.
Low gluten diet.
Used to show the old boys how it was done.... Now i am the old boys and still showing them how its done...
Did a 'fitness test' 'so long a go, 5km wearing 20kg in 40 odd minutes. just not worth it when it aint hindquarters...

[avgas]

I moved to America and got fatter. I now have 2 extra inches on the waist (34") So really need to get back to it.

I love big bags. Bashing the shit out of those is where I get my giggles. They have a 20kg next door - which is a bit light for me, but will be good for me to get back to it.

Food in US is way more fattening than NZ. NZ fast food isn't actually too bad - it got better about 8+ years ago.

I'm 65, soon to be 66.

I have had a lifetime of various sports - from rugby to football, table tennis, squash, cricket, basketball, netball, volleyball - the list goes on.

These days it is ballroom dancing. My partner and I dance competitively at A grade level. This involves dancing 4 and 5 dance events - usually several in a night. We have danced 60 routines in one night but more usually we will dance half that number. Research out of Germany reckons that dancing a 5 dance event is equivalent to running 1500 metres, in terms of energy expended anyway.

Obviously, physical fitness is essential to do this stuff. It also requires mental fitness - we have to evade loonies on the floor who don't take notice of other competitors in their way and generally lack floorcraft, we have to be prepared to vary a routine at a second's notice without looking like we have totally fucked up. We have to move our arses without looking like we are trying.

I don't think I have had to train as hard for any other sport I have participated in. The combination of physical and mental effort, the fact that there are two of you working together (well...trying to anyway), the combination of movement and balance all go to make up a very demanding discipline.

Oh, and yes - you get to dance with lots of hot chicks as well...hurhurhur:devil2:

[MisterD]

Fuck.

We've been drawn against a Division 1, Over 30's side in the cup on Saturday. I think the answer to HDC's question is likely to be "Not fit or strong enough".

[Berg]

I was reasonably fit until I had my crash which caused me to get a little tubby.
In the past 12 months I have worked my ass off (literally according to my wife) to get myself back in shape. Gym most days, running our river track (7km) other days, eating properly (gone from 3 sugars in coffee to none) and cut back on the portions. I have lost 14kg in the past 9 months, feel fantastic and am even doing the 5 bridges run in the Hutt this Sunday.
It has taken bloody hard work and determination but the effect has been worth every drop of sweat.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Here's a good tip for reducing sugar in coffee.

Take a sip of it first without sugar, then add sugar. the bitterness you taste will mean that a lot less sugar is required for it to taste "sweet". try it: you will at least halve the amount you put in.

[Woodman]

Not very fit as I found out today.

Hanging on the end of a chainsaw and dragging trees out from the back of the section, cutting them into firewood and then walking up to the house to stack said firewood, I now realise that my physical condition is crap. Worringly so if I am to be honest.

I'm reasonably happy with my current level of strength & fitness. Not how I used to be 24 months ago (Superfit - sprints, long run, weight session/free weight session 6 days a week, total about 3 hrs per day). Currently I go to the gym 4-5 days a week where I do mostly exercises like chin ups/pull ups, kettle bell training, push ups, core work and some weight work, I also try and do some sprints every now and again for that anaerobic type training. I also train in CQC/ Military hand to hand combat twice a week which often can be quite intense and exhausting.

Currently 6ft 3 (not that that will change) and 101kg, approximately 14% body fat...I eat whatever I like :innocent:

Some of my goals to achieve by the end of this year:
1) to be able to run 2400m sub 8 mins 45 seconds, currently just on 10 mins.
2) chin ups neutral grip - 40 in first set followed by 5 sets of 10 reps. Currently can do 25 per set with 8 sets of 6/4 to follow.
3) 100x push ups in one set - currently can do about 60 in a set.

Biggest challenge is finding the time to train now with a young family, 2 businesses to run and completing some further tertiary studies. But...if it were easy....

What did you do?????

I picked MMA since it seemed like fun. learn heaps every night, boxing, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, wrestling etc etc, very dynamic. have fun, meet new folks, and you get some awesome opportunities. Good stress relief wen you train for a fight too.

ha yes, Tyson was right, getting punched / kicked / elbowed in the face makes you re-think your plan pretty fast. always have a plan B, C, D etc.

Yep when dropping sugar breakfast is the hardest. Eggs on toast alone won't get you very far. I have porridge and substitute the sugar with mashed banana - a 1/4 banana is about the equivalent of 1 tsp sugar, the browner the better. Then I have a plate of bacon, eggs, kumara and veges!

Nothing better to get the heart pumping then to climb across someones back while whipping into it. Hold on bronco!! :Punk:

The great thing about swinging is you get to have different partners if you're so inclined :blip: That really gives your muscles a stretching.
Sometimes I've swung with 2 strangers in the one session. Earn your sweat there:apumpin:

[Shaun Harris]

weak as piss and could not run a mile. I just rely on the power of being a red head. Seriously though I have done more exersise in the last few months that I have since 1990-91 when I trained hard for one year in Japan, that was the only year I ever trained for racing bikes and never had any fitness issues whilst on the bike, be it closed track or the TT and was always a smoker also. Probally could have been even faster if I was fitter.

Anyone else here use creatine? I've been taking it daily for about 3 months and it really makes a difference to muscle strength.

Always been fit and strong....army,fighting sports ( beats me why some c*nts call it "arts" )fishing
1.87 m and 87 kgs back then, and still now as an old c*nt..
Still do heavy physical work, and started going to gym semi regularly before I would have needed it.
Put plenty of guys half my age to shame....
will just have to work harder to keep it that way..
