Do you workout?

[Circushowcowboy]

How often and what kinds of exercises do you do?

I could use some inspiration

[Levin]

All the inspiration you will need, homeboy.

I strength train hard twice per week. And medium intensity two days per week. Gives the best balance of joint recovery, and recovery in general. Which is like half of your work.

Outside of that, I do kung fu, and lighter exercises, yoga, stretching, taichi etc, to keep my body in good condition.

6 days a week, alternating between cardio and strength training.

On cardio days, it's usually hiking at a nearby forest or swimming.

On strength days, right now it's just body strength stuff like pushups, pullups, planks, lunges, etc. because I'm saving up for a weight set.

[Circushowcowboy]

Those are all great activities. You get a good balance

[talentedclock]

Thanks, it's a routine that I developed over time. Sometimes I get busy and fall out of the habit, but get back into it later.

I used to run, but it was pretty rough on my knees. Hiking and swimming have been more fun while still being a good workout.

[mandyfire98]

I dance for hours, 5 days a week. That's my cardio. I also teach a pole dancing class so that's a workout. I also hit the gym twice a week.

[Circushowcowboy]

That is a really active lifestyle. The dancing alone would wipe me out lol. Good for you

[mandyfire98]

It's definitely active. But it's a fun activity at least.

[Circushowcowboy]

Yea that’s a good point. It helps when it’s a fun activity and you aren’t thinking about the fact that you’re working out.

[mandyfire98]

Exactly

[LeatherDame]

Heavy barbell squats, kettlebell swings and bosu ball crunches are my bread and butter.

[Circushowcowboy]

I’ve never tried kettlebells. I know they were popular at least for a while a couple years ago

[LeatherDame]

Yeah I got into them around 2007 and never looked back

[Sonorous]

Yeah nothing fancy. Pullups, pushups, bicep curls, lateral raises, tricep extensions, etc. I workout for aesthetics mainly.

[Circushowcowboy]

Hey working out is working out. Still getting the body moving.

[Sonorous]

That is

[Xawyx-2]

Yes I do, every day, it kinda looks like this :P

[Xawyx-2]

Inspired enough? 😆

[Circushowcowboy]

Oh yes very motivating lols

[Abbycado]

Yeah. I train year round as a triathlete.

[Circushowcowboy]

Really? That seems intense.

[Abbycado]

You would think, but it is really just keeping in shape and improving on the what you can. In winter, I can swim at the athletic center and run. When the weather is nicer, I can cycle.

Best to worse: Swim, cycle, run.

[Circushowcowboy]

I see. It always looked crazy to me when I’d see videos. Im sure it’s great for you if you don’t push too hard.

[Abbycado]

If you just keep up with it, it isn’t a chore.

[Circushowcowboy]

Makes sense. Probably more routine at that point.

[Abbycado]

Wyf @xawyx-2? Always anon and no replies?

Pauly

[Xawyx-2]

Why are you spinning Pauly? 😆😂🤣

[Agape93]

Yeap kinda. Hauling around my ego is intense

[Circushowcowboy]

[Agape93]
