This was a great thread a few years ago and has since disappeared, so I'm rebooting it.
What do you all do for exercise?
What do you all do for exercise?
I'm reporting in, this is my world.
I just got back to running a lot after winter/exams.
Still need to get my gym membership, though.
I have a soccer game pretty much every Sunday in the summer and even for a part of the winter. As long as there isn't any snow outside, I try to go 2 more times a week to the soccer field, most of the times with friends, to practice technical aspects of my game (and mostly because it's fun, especially when it's hot). Combining that with some tennis is often an option
Last semester, I began going to the gym about 3 times a week. I'm still not ripped or anything since I started from pretty much nothing but I've made progress. I won't pay 200-300$ to go to a real gym this summer but my friend has pretty much everything you need in his basement so that should do it. I'll try to go at least 2 times a week but I've never tried to do both that and a lot of soccer at the same time so we'll see how it goes I guess. Soccer > gym for me but maybe I'll be able to do both.
Occasionally, I play some hockey cosom with friends and a few times a year some golf too. I would probably play a lot more if it was cheaper since right now I'm a not very rich college student. Basketball isn't out of question either but I kinda suck at everything but passing the ball so it's not my favourite sport
All in all, I really like doing various sports although I'm not a superstar in any of them.
In before this becomes a Therrien bashing thread like all the others...
I'm just starting crossfit and trying to get my diet under control. Used to play ball hockey, but stopped because it was too far and because I couldn't keep up.
Used to be pretty fit, had a semi-strict diet and worked out regularly, but then I met my wife-to-be, included some of the scrap she ate in my diet, slowly worked out less and less for various reasons... and gained weight. Then we had children (1 and 3), and time completely slipped away from me, found no time to do anything physically, no time to eat properly + my kids are picky eaters.... ended up ganing A LOT of weight.
So yeah, I'm starting from a pretty ****** place, but the crossfit place I joined looks like it's a great place to be and it's ran by great people. My wife also knows about my goals so hopefully I can reach them within a year.
Exercising is important but nutrition is the key. 90% of physical fitness starts at the dinner table! That is the lesson I have learned in 50+ years
