keeping Fit

[Spud]

what do you do to keep fit and how do you motivate yourself to keep to your routine?

 

[user123]

Don't do much now, but do walk brisk 20 minutes everyday and do my yoga type exercises in the morning. Motivation is feeling better - sitting in the studio and behind the pc all day long isn't good, should do more...

Open the gate.. DEEP! Breath.. ahh!!!.. Walk to Van and drive to work..:lol:

 

[user123]

Actually, I don't get the keeping fit thing for tilers, it's such an intensily physical job that other things for health seem more important - like good diet, not too much alcohol, not smoking, getting fresh air to balance out the cement dust, that sort of thing?

 

[DHTiling]

not too much alcohol

Shucks...

:8::8::8: this keeps my right arm in tip top shape.

Lots of running (down to around 70km a week for now) also do body pump and body combat. My motivation is to be fit and healthy enough to eat and drink what I want. Also to get my 10 and 5 km times down (44:22 for 10 and 18:43 for 5 at present) I'm lucky my wife likes to keep fit too. We're just back from gym and she's due to have our baby in 3 weeks.

hi Stewart, what exercises is the mrs doing at the moment?

I'm just doing a lot of walking. I can go on my mountain bike if I want, but I'd rather not run the risk of crashing it or falling off it. I want to start swimming but motivating Mr GRR is proving difficult.

I walk for 20 minutes 4 lunch times a week, and try to walk the dog 3 x 45 minutes a week.

I haven't gained any weight with baby yet, still the same as I was before I got pregnant, but I do feel out of shape, less toned and becoming flabby.

Thats what the alcohol is for :54:

Congrats on the pregnancy Liz :hurray::hurray:, I must have missed the post where you announced it

Hi Grr, Fiona swims, spins and does light free weights now as that's all she's really allowed to do. She was still doing 10k runs at four months, them gradually reduced the distance she ran. It all depends on what you did before you were preggers. If you were active before then it's fine to continue as long as you're comfortable with it, but best consult your midwife and gp for best advice. Best thing I could say is don't get caught up in all the hype and tripe the comes with being pregnant. Enjoy it to the max as everything else is out of your hands.

I've just come back from a couple of hours on the climbing wall, luckily i've always been quite fit, but since I started this climbing game I've discovered muscles that I didn't know I had getting an oh so healthy ache for a couple of days..good stuff

Must have been some walk!

 

[hillhead]

A spot of forest trails on my mountain bike does the trick, I love the night time cycles with lights on our helmets.
I haven't got out this year yet though, bad me.

In German that 's called a 'Muskelkater' = 'muscle hangover' and it's a good thing to be proud of in Germany, sign of having worked hard...

I go to the gym, 20mins running machine, 2 sets of 15 reps on various weights then finish with 15mins on the bike, but to be honest i've been by passing the gym part and heading straight to their swiming pool for a dip then spend the rest of it in the steam room:lol: (I will get motivated to head to the gym part first thou) before hitting the steam room!

 

[dilz000]

I go 4 times a week, throw around the biggest weights I can manage with good form then go home. I love doing weights but hate doing anything else lol. I used to do slot of boxing but i work a funny shift pattern so makes it hard goof to classes.

 

[Scott]

If im honest im not fit at all. Im not in bad sahpe dont get me wrong but i dont actively keep fit. I want too but just dont seem to get the time. Since i had my thyroid sorted i have lost a ton of weight (not literally of course) and i feel that i could do well with fitness just lack the time.
