Trying something intersting, when ever a commercial come on, I draw from a deck of cards and do either pushups or sit-ups to what number I draw...amazing how much it adds up......plus if the old lady gets confused and thinks we're playing strip poker, so much the better :lol:

I had a football coach in Jr. High who recommended this. You'll be surprised at how quickly you start seeing results.

Fit enough? I can go 3 rounds with a welterweight. (them boys are fast :shock: )
I'm 5'11" and weigh 288 lbs. I do 40-90 minutes of cardio a day and then workout. Anyone who would like to shed some fat, I recommend boxing. If you can find a Mexican coach, even better. (them boys don't play :shock: )

I enjoy cross training, MMA, boxing and kick boxing. I love feeling the burn of heavy sets, but for the past month I've been going light. I need to cut weight so I can train for distance running. I want to participate in the Tough Mudder event in Dallas this march.

I was once completely unfit. That time was during my marriage. She was a good cook and stubbornly jealous, therefore, no gym for me. I got lazy and fat. 330 lbs.
Since the split, I slowly began to eat right, but then I got a kick in the ass by an MMA coach and a kick in the balls by a boxing coach. They made me realize that as a Firefighter, I'm expected to be stronger and faster than the average citizen. I agreed and began intense training. I'm in the best shape of my life. The new me can outdo the old me (early 20's 210 lbs) all day.

I still don't think I'm fit enough though. There's always room for improvement. And as far as getting laid, being fit does help.

I used to be a beast. Im working on it.When you see things like this,

and know you could put a stop to it. Thats what motivates me. The guy is just holding the knife behind him, and no one helps. If Im lifting, I feel a lot more froggy.

i don't have enough cardio. but i sure can run faster than them and long enough to be out of their sight.

i'm strong enough to carry all my gear and i can use melee weapon strong enough to smash a couple of them.

i have probably too much fat for my own good but in a survival situation it could be a good thing. (more fat to burn as emergency energy)

Sure I'm fit, but I want to be even more fit. I refer to it as "gym greed" in the gym and "athletic greed" outside the gym. The actual desire to be better than you are, to be able to perform better athletically.

I think it's good motivation, whether you're performing against yourself or someone else.

No giggity intended,

i'm like 400 lbs and once i was out hunting and shot at this huge buck.

anyway i got the buck but the bullet hit some kid that was trying to pet it or sometihng.

Me and this cop went to get a respirator from the fema camp. He couldn't keep up with my fat ass so i helped him but then he shot me in the leg like a pussy.

But dont worry I'll be back as a 400 lbs zombie soon

They buried otis,

As far as fighting zombies goes, Im never going to run. If i can hide under a car without them seeing me, Im golden. Other wise, I swing hard and fast at necks with a machete. Know I would have those muscles.

Same here - I'm fatter now than I have ever been. My only saving grace is that I have incredible endurance. It might take me twenty stops to get to the top of a 200 ft rise, but I'll get there eventually. Add zeds to that mix and well... your mileage may vary.

Because I was not 200 pounds even when I came out of Boot Camp... had to take the body fat test, which I passed with flying colors BTW....I was quite happy with how I looked at 250, and thats kinda my goal...I weighed about 240-250 when I smoked about 4 years ago, but when I quit, I gained about 100 lbs to start with....like I said, I have dropped about 40 of those currently, and am working on more



****EDIT, for anyone out there thinking about quitting, I wish I had not.....but I been quit so long it's kinda stupid to start back...just know if you quit, plan on a more extensive excersice program if you want to stay the same weight

I weighed 240 at 44 and weigh 180 at age 48. It is more difficult when you get older, to be sure.
