Does anyone on gag work out at the gym?

[Rissyanne]

I workout on the elliptical and free weights. I just got back from the gym from a great workout... and feel great. Does anyone else get this feeling after working out? What do you like to do at the gym and when do you go? I am a morning person.

[Aqualung]

Yes, absolutely. It’s a big part of the experience, and a good motivator.:

When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain.
Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine. For example, the feeling that follows a run or workout is often described as "euphoric." That feeling, known as a "runner's high," can be accompanied by a positive and energizing outlook on life.
Endorphins act as analgesics, which means they diminish the perception of pain. They also act as sedatives. . .

There's a ton of content on the web. I like old fashioned free weights (Olympic bar), use some machine for specific part (back/tris) and some cardio. A good free weight regimen is a decent cardio workout as well.

Just me, or is this site freaking slow?

[cavmanier]

Yeah I feel better when I consistently workout. I pretty much workout my whole body with weights, and do the elliptical too mostly. I will go pretty much at any time, but usually in the evening mostly.

I have the Convenience of a Gym 24/7, in my own Place of Residence, @Rissyanne. I even have my own "Card Key."
I love the Treadmill and even the Bike. And I always "Feel Great" after my 'Great Workout" And... Two long hours of Talking on my celly as I work out the Belly.

[Paris13]

Thanks for the "Lickety Split" Like. lolxx

[jenny33]

Having a gym in ur residence is the best! I also do.. u don't have to get in ur car to go, makes it much easier! And you can go 24/7

[Paris13]

@jenny33 lol!! I love it!! I was just down there today, yacking to my mom as I did the tread and rode the bike, and then "Locked up" and went walking all over the grounds.. Very nice day out. xxoo

[jenny33]

I do the exact same thing lol I love the bike! I usually go alone, I like to be left alone w my music:) it's so convenient, I have no excuse to not go, it's included in my rent lol

[Paris13]

@jenny33 lol!! me too, and close th door. Guys who do not have Their Own "Private Key," should Not be able to Come in and.. See me.
I work out Alone at Home. xxoo

[jenny33]

Absolutely! I'm a runner and the feeling you get when ur running is incredible.. so good for mind, body and spirit!

[lightbulb27]

Good for you, I'm glad to hear that, I am the same and it makes a big difference in how good I feel. Any good intense workout or work makes me feel that way so I keep very active. I'm much better in the morning, although I usually take time to workout end of day.

Not a fan of eliptical, but a lot of women seem to like it. Just don't like the motion, I prefer the stair climber and weights and other exercises.

One other thing, look into Isometrics... really increases strength quickly. Basically pushing against an immovable force as hard as you can. Lookup Alexander Zaas as example. Maybe that isn't great for women, not sure.

[MrAssHat]

I did for years but quit do to some medical stuff but now i just run a lot and yes it feels amazing after a good workout

[Rissyanne]

If it is a really good workout... it is almost as good as sex... lol

[MrAssHat]

haha dont know bout that i love the runners high i get feels like there is nothing else in the world

[Rissyanne]

I used to run 2 miles a day... but that was when I was in my 20s. The elliptical is perfect for me... it is better on my joints. But I do get a great high from it.

[archiz]

Hey yea I do but usually at night due ti my schedule.
I actually prefer dueing the morning cs it just boosts my whole day and I have more energy.
I usually do a lot of cardio and a bit of weights

[Kaazsz]

Yes, I prefer to go at night when there's barely anyone there. It feels great! I lift weights, currently doing Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 "boring but big" program. Its the best one I've tried so far. I also walk on the treadmill. I'm trying to lose weight.

[Levin]

Yeah, it's really good for me to get moving in the morning, because I hate mornings :) But I work out at home. I did 3 sets of 30 leg raises, a bunch of squats including one legged work, and some bridging :)

[Wonderer89]

I do and always feel better. I do cardio and weights on Mon, wed & thurs and then aerial yoga on Tue and Fri and floor yoga on fri afternoons
I just go in my lunch hour of work, gym is right across the road 👌🏼

[Decentguy]

i workout 7 days a week. i love working out in the gym, and i feel very great, calm and stress fee after my workout. i only do weight lifting. i go to gym sometimes at evening or sometimes at night

[Xfitchick]

No, but I do. I do crossfit, running and gym and yes I like it. It relieves stress from work, gives a good feeling afterwards and the nice body is good present.

[Senzu_Makadoria]

How much are you lifting in that pic? o_O"

[meatballs21]

I go in the evening after work... elliptical or crossramp to warm up and then machines or free weights afterwards.

Yes, the actual exercise can be hard as hell but you feel freaking awesome afterwards.

[truthbeknown]

I do a routine of upper body weight lifting, then about 20 cardio on the treadmill. I eat like shit, so I try to keep my health up this way, LOL! I usually go later at night, 9-10 pm.

[AthleticMom]

Used to do that and still sometimes long for this & the programs offered
but ballroom/C&W dancing took over which becomes a fuller calendar constantly.

[Phoenix98]

Yeah I work out at a gym and worked at a gym and am a personal trainer lol.

And well yeah of course you feel good it's the power of health and fitness and you know other long scientific words.

[AdamThomas]

I just got back from the gym. It feels good to be doing it again, haven't had the free time to go for a while, but I feel like shit at the moment tbh.

[Anpu23]

I built a gym in my garage, I run, spend time on the heavy bag and swing a sword as my primary workouts.

[Izumiblu]

I do a few times a week, but only cardio. I also do hot yoga.

[babeeeone]

I have exercise machines at my house so I don't really have to go to a gym

[Rissyanne]

I used to have exercise machines... at my house. But I never used them. I enjoy going to the gym... that is my time just for me.

[AlwaysBelieving]

Anywhere from 4 to 6 days a week. It helps me relieve stress. I also get the feelings you described. I do spin and Bodypump class.

[ClassyMe]

I do! I haven't gone in a little but I'm going to start going back.

[Wingedz]

No. I do calisthenics all the time so mostly streets workout. And is FREE!
