Working on bike, beers, fitness

[soundbeltfarm]

Today out trail riding i thought to myself fuck i'm a fat prick now. sitting down like a po po because i'm puffed .
and i think the main culprit is the piss i drink while working on my bike and the kids bikes.
i have a sexy little beer fridge that looks so inviting when it has beers in it.
but you know what, i really do love havin a few while i work on the bikes.
are you guys or girls the same?
i'm always out in the shed doin something to the bikes and normally have a cold beer close by.
i got tits bigger than the whips ones , a guts that makes me look pregnant and the fitness of a wet fart.
so i decided this arvo that i'll cut back some on the beer and start a bit of fitness happening.
i gave up rugby last year so fitness went out the door.
do any of you lot have a fitness regime going for riding besides just riding?
and do you drink when you workin on the bikes?

[AllanB]

Yeah, I often pop one when cleaning the bike in the evening. :niceone:


You could maybe consider the low carb beers on the market - no doubt invented by some pole-smoking Aucklander but they have less carbs.

[98tls]

Ive found getting a new Mrs helps with the fitness thing,means you dont have to cut back on the intake either.

[soundbeltfarm]

i'm happy with the whip , maybe a couple of others on the go would help .

[FJRider]

NAH... might damage summit... I keep the drinkin' to important stuff... like kb ...

[FlangMasterJ]

I'm at the gym five days a week. Weights only so I'm just as unfit as you are.

How about substituting your high carb beers for some low ones. Same amount of alcohol but no calories? (put's on flame retardant suit)

Any MX tracks close by? Doing a good thirty laps will get the heart pumping.

I had to give up pretty much everything I liked to eat and drink back in June, wish I had simply cut back to a reasonable level earlier. I was too dumb to see the damage I was doing. For me it was too much icecream/cheese/red meat (never been a big drinker) and not enough exercise. Now I have to be a " nearly" vegan.. :(

There is a plus side tho, I was 87kg and am now 68, have much more energy and am slowly getting into a shape which less resembles a circle..... My advice, for what it's worth, is enjoy the good things until about 40, then start tapering off...... NEVER stop with the exercise..... Rant over......

[laserracer]

WOW:eek5:You have your own sexy beer fridge and tits...i think im in love:woohoo:....or not ..he says in a deep manly none gay voice...i think i hear the wife calling..who by the way has 1 out of 2 .. yep she has her own beer fridge:lol:.. ohh ok shes got tits too.. but not as big as mine:gob:,as for pregnant im having twins any day now
or so the wifee says, but she says it more like .. better go on a bloody diet and start working out fatty:eek5:

Another beer swilling motorbike fixing monkey here

My Mrs is a health nut so we eat like athletes im sure that helps
You considered just going for a little jog or even a bike ride everynow and then?
Was watching a show on sky not long ago about the fitness regiem of some pro riders one thing i did find funny was thew unicycle training apparently its good for fitness and balance etc perfect for mx they reckon

[barty5]

Yeh kinda in same boat JDs and coke though takin up MT biking (yeh i know cycle) but its still a bike. Started doing it to help with fitness while doin the GNCC and it dose help dont feel half as knackered after a ride now. Never use to be a prob 6-7 years back as i was working as a courier which kept me super fit.

[portokiwi]

:crazy: Yes in the same boat. couldnt loose the 5 kg gabby said I had to get rid off so she is cutting her hair:crybaby:
I have put on a bit more after eating to much christmas cake..... have some here for morning tea:pinch:. Now i have to get back in to shape.
I am starting to puff which is a bad sign. On to the old exercize machine again and cut back on the amount of food i am pigging out on.
Just cut back on the portions you eat..... That realy helps and go for brisk walks. That said WHY am I not doing it.........

[Quicker_with_age]

You just need to do more riding and less drinking, Maybe less tinkering in the shed fixing things that aint broke aye berkie?? haha. Man after that ride yesterday I cant wait for the next one that was awesome!!

yeah it was purangi.
best trail ride i've been on i reckon.
track was bulldozed not long ago by the looks of it and it had great grip even if those hills were papary you could find some loose stuff and find traction in it.
bit of a poor turnout i thought

[tnarg]

I gave up my beloved 8% woodstocks :bye: and lost 5 kgs in 3 weeks. I guess I was drinking to much of them, just gotta give up the ciggies now.

[SpikedPunch]

I got a (moto? :p) cross-trainer off trademe a little while ago. It's great cause I can do it in front of the tv in the evenings, no excuses like with my bicycle, too hot/cold/rainy/windy/dark (really I just don't want to be associated with those spandex weirdos :rolleyes:) try and do about 10k a night on it... Haven't seen much of it over the christmas break :o. Got back into it tonight, feels good! My fitness has def. improved since I've had it.
Not giving up the beers though, not over summer! :sunny:

[kezzafish]

Yeah another bourbon and coke boy here. I'm not getting fat but i don't think all the sugary-alcoholic-acid is doing my stomach lining any good cos it makes me feel a bit sick now. gonna change to tequila, that's the easy bit. ciggarettes are fukken hard to kick oooooh i love them so

I think that you will be putting on heaps of weight if you have a beer everytime you fix your bike. Especially if you own a Suzuki...... LOL You just wouldn't stop drinking!!!!!

got love the burns suzuki made in cheese's attitude

[courts]

Its all cardio my man you can pump weights if you wanna impress the ladies ; whatever you do don't cutdown your intake! find a sport that yo enjoy and is not perhaps so intense as just running,like tennis or something
you may even find as you drop kilos you become a cheaper date too....... to do with thinning the blood and increased circulation. drink water when not swilling lager! fucking heaps of it.

[FlangMasterJ]

Muscle mass plays a huge factor in the amount of calories you burn. So don't just focus on cardio.

[B0000M]

if anyones keen to lose weight quickly, what i did worked mint.

stop eating shit food, drink only water, go for a walk up a decent sized steep hill every day, running as far as your fitness will allow, then run back down. make your dinner smaller.

lost 19kg in 12 weeks doing that.

also won a bunch of money in the competition i was competing in

then stopped and put half of it back on....

back to it!

[kezzafish]

there's only one muscle that needs to be big for girls and i don't know how to make it bigger (not for extended periods of time anyway). Muscle mass is gay. run run run my pretties

yeah, and that - forgot that bit

should probably mention breakfast is a good idea, and if you dont have time in the morning / cant be be fucked getting up in time, have one of those up & go drinks

[Pedrostt500]

Yep I get the feeling every now and again that I should go do some exercise, so I just put an old areobics OZ style tape in the VCR, pop the top of a beer and lie back on the couch for an hour, excersize is good I can watch it for hours.

ha ha ha, all i did was stop drinking alltogether, drink 5 liters of water a day, and get out on the bike as much as i can (which is lots now that i dont have a missus.....yess!!). and try to have your meals at the same time every day.:apint:
