Do you work out trying to tone your body up?

[Applefan1]

If so what do you do. Do you go to them gym or do you work out at home or go for runs?

Yes, I every single day. No matter what the weather is doing or if I feel like it or not.

Most days but sometimes I miss a day.

About 3 or 4 days a week I do.

I go though phases of exercising but always end up giving up.

I don't care what my body looks like. I can't be bothered exercising ever.

[Phoenix98]

I tone and build mass, shape and size through intense and heavy strength training, 3 sets, 6 reps, maximum weight light enough to reach 4 reps but heavy enough to never exceed 6 reps, perfect form at all times. 5 day's a week working one major body part a day no more then 3 exercises per part doing only exercises that yield the best results. Cardio twice a week 30 minutes max per session, no more then an hour to an hour and a half per week. Abs twice a week, super sets one weighted ab crunches to 12 reps, unweighted leg raises to failure, followed by air bicycle's to failure rest for 3 minutes repeat.

[Applefan1]

Wow thanks for all the detail. You answered everything I was going to ask. I am guessing all this working out you do pretty much will not work if your don't eat healthy right?

[Phoenix98]

Lol, yes that's correct, a proper training regime, requires adequate nutrition and supplements to get everything you need, I take 8 special multivitamins a day and 3 powdered supplements in addition to my 3 meals a day as I have a protein, carb, healthy fat to body weight ratio I have to meet.

[Applefan1]

So do you measure out your food so you are eating the correct portion sizes and not over eating?

[Applefan1]

Do you feel less tired being on this type of diet and find it easier to get up in the morning and that sort of stuff

[Phoenix98]

I don't worry about portions more so the amount of stuff that's in it, like protein and stuff, all my meals are decent size they fill me up but don't over stuff me.

If you are planning on working out or bodybuilding I would recommend checking out this site https://www.muscleforlife.com/about-me/ also check out his books as well Bigger, Leaner, Stronger, the advanced as well and the Shredded Chef those 3 books will give you all the information you need. You can also ask Michael anything personally if you wish, he'll respond, he's got a face book account as well, and a supplement company, which is were I get my stuff, I highly recommend Triumph multivitamins, one of the best I've ever seen.

And it's not a diet I find them to be healthy and constricting this is simply a healthy intake of food and ya less tired, easier to get up assuming I've gotten enough sleep.

My occupation has a very physical element to it. I also do some free weights at home to help make my job easier. I've been an avid walker since my teens. Most of my youth was spent in the water or in a bike I've been practicing yoga for 30 years (15-20 minutes every morning for flexibility). I have wanted to be fit since I was 10 years old. I must've been a quadriplegic in a different life because I do not like to sit still.
And I don't plan on slowing down.

[BellePepper]

I do yoga most days and it usually helps me feel less cruddy. If any toning is happening it's just an extra bonus XD

[kaylaS91]

Sure do! I do both. Full gym routine Monday through Thursday, then a 30-40km bike ride on the weekend.

[Climber]

@kaylaS91 Lovely program.

[Jim_F]

@kaylaS91 it's so encouraging to see the youth of today participating in physical activities. I've always found it makes me feel more alive when I can feel my heart pounding in my chest.

[Outofthegrey]

I don't go to the gym because then I'd have to deal with people who the only thing they have going for them in their life is their body, and they're super douchey about it. But I do archery, jogging, and boxing to stay in shape. Usually jog every day, and the archery/boxing is normally once or twice a week.

[Climber]

My main sport is climbing. I use the gym and running as an extra aid. And the toned body is an extra gift from it.

[Jim_F]

@Climber your attitude is Awesome

[Drooogie4]

I'm active,, my whole life is.
But I actually gym about 3x a week

[hypno-trip]

I'm a weakling. I'm trying to work out but I'm not like anyone impressive you'll see on this site.

[Izzex3]

I guess. I just walk.

[JulyAndrews]

[cl_517]

I voted A :)

[Applefan1]

What do you do go to the gym? or do you exercise at home?

[cl_517]

ahha I'm on vacation right now so no ahaha but I go to the gym when no one is there lol and I have to be fit because I'm a soccer player so It's like an obligation

[Applefan1]

Just because you are on holiday is no excuse haha lol :P :) Anyway I guess your diet also has to be healthy or exercising is pointless from what I understand.

[cl_517]

yeah I hate a diet but I don't care I still eat a lot, I eat a lot to be honest, I'm a food lover, but I also work out as much as I eat lol I have gained 4 pounds :(

[Applefan1]
