    I dont think roids are that bad. I lift with a few people that take them. Theres a documentary called bigger, faster, stronger. You should check it out. Its well worth a watch even if only for the entertainment value.

    I saw that documentary on Youtube. It is very interesting I must admit. Have you seen the guy Greg Valentino? He's got the biggest arms in the world. He's some freak.

    I've recently disabled the auto-refresh tab add-on for Firefox - now I press F5 or click the mouse.

    I can feel the benefits already.

    You need to be careful. Ya don't want to over do it. You might pull a muscle you crazy fitness freak!

    Well my next goal is to disable the mouse wheel - although, it may be some time before I'm ready for that level of exercise.

    Keeping fit is easy. Getting fit is the problem.

    I find there is nothing quiet like a good long pedal.

    What do boardsies do to keep fit?
    I run, sometimes cycle, watch my diet and don't eat any sweets, soft drinks or take any sugar. Planing on doing some weights soon.

    Try to run 3 times a week for an hour. Did absolutely no training for 3 months during the winter, put on about half a stone and I can't believe how hard it is to get it back off. Thought that just getting back into the old routine would work but the body seems to have acclimatized to the new weight and I need to do much more to make in-roads.

    Planning to take up cycling soon too like the rest of the country. Just need to get the monies together to get a decent bike.

    I run and cycle mostly, though a back and hip injury at the moment is making running quite difficult. :(

    Should probably add some swimming and strength work there too...

    Cycling! Lots and lots of cycling. To and from work, to get groceries, and actual dedicated exercise cycling. Should probably to other stuff but at least I really enjoy the exercise I do. I feel free on a bike.

    I occasionally hike too.

    My job is fairly active too, which I'm thankful for.

    The idea of a gym horrifies me. Like an exercise factory. Shudder.

    Do a lot of cycling and I've some weights and pull-up bars at home. I seriously need to start stretching or I'll need help tying my shoelaces.

    Straight.

    Although, I am now sitting in my garden and I just thought "Feck it, lets kick off a BBQ and get a few cans of Dutch Gold".

    Yes. Sounds like a plan. I'll do the weights next time. Laters!

    Nothing.

    Bored enough with life as it is,can't see the point of sweating and being in physical pain to actually extend my time here.

    I walk a lot and play soccer. I must say though there is a bit of a gap between the media reports on obesity in Ireland and the actual reality. Now I only get into town 3 times a week but its at a very busy time so you get the full specturm of people and I have to see I see very few fat people, all the guys are slim, very fit and toned and the women are very glamorous. I dont know where all these fat people are hiding but I certainly dont see many of them!

    Maybe the OP is right and people are going to the other extreme and getting too fit.

    We are at home, eating inordinately large portions of food and staring out the window with our beady little eyes at all the slim people. :mad:

    I tie my shoe laces and then at lunch time I will open them and tie them again, while it looks like I might be over doing it somewhat and could burn out, I am trying to cut down on the lunch time session,

    what I am going to try is have a pair of slip ons and wear these at lunch time, this will force me to cut out the lunch time session.

    its not easy trying to look like big daddy.

    Train my guns down the pub

    Lift my pint with my left, lift and sip, lift and sip

    For my next pint I repeat with my right

    My squat routine is when I drop loose change on the floor

    Gives a good workout

    Right now, I've started to get a bit lazy and I've fallen out of my weight training and running. Have to start up again but fvck in hell, it's hard work to get back to where I was a year ago at the peak of my fitness!

    I don't usually go to the gym regularly as it's a pain in the ass to get there sometimes but I'm doing well in picking up my sprinting. Hopefully now I'll keep it up enough to break through that crap intensense period until it's doable and enjoyable. Once you've done that, you can't go without doing something active everyday.

    Have to get back to my sport again as well because it's a much more enjoyable way of exercising.

    Either you have an extremely unforgiving idea of what constitutes being fit, or you're doing it wrong.
