Working on bike, beers, fitness

**soundbeltfarm** · 28th December 2008, 20:56

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?

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

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

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

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

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......

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

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.

Yes in the same boat. couldnt loose the 5 kg gabby said I had to get rid off so she is cutting her hair

I have put on a bit more after eating to much christmas cake..... have some here for morning tea

. 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.........
