Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted February 17, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2008 It is a clear day, with but a few, bulbous clouds floating in the sky; there is a very mild, albeit very comforting breeze. The sand is warm, and the heat of the sun strokes your skin. Up ahead, a fair maiden, with a chest that would make Xerxes himself bow down and call her master, approaches. Now, do you wish you had been hitting up the gym in the weeks, months, leading up to this moment? ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

We all need goals, and what better goal than ensnaring mystical, buxom babe in the not-so-distant future! ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

Senior Member Dewayne Posted February 18, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2008 A good motivational tool for me has been registering for an event. I'm talking about getting a buddy and you both signing up for a 10k race, or a Triathlon, whatever. 10k's are the cheapest, as all you need is a pair of shoes basically. Set your sites about 3 - 4 months out, because even though you might be able to gain the endurance quicker, you certainly don't want to stop afterwards. Plus, try getting up to 6+ miles too quickly and you'll injure yourself if you're >35. Stopping after that first race will be the tough part. So, immediately before the big race you should sign up and pay for another one. This time the goal is to do better than this run by say, 10% faster. At the point of the next race, move up to a 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles). Sign up, pay, etc. and train. Remember, all you want to do is finish it. It won't matter if you take a few walking breaks, just finish it. By then, you'll most likely be hooked and amazed at how easy it is to run 4 - 5 miles, 4x a week. Now, plan to crosstrain with weights 2 days a week and you'll be gold! 100?

Scheduling your gym time and doing whatever is possible to make yourself go is the best motivation. The rumor is that 19-21 times without skipping an "appointment" makes this a habit. I wouldnt recommend everyday, though, or you run the risk of another long layoff after burning out on going. So pace yourself, the trick is to make it regular, scheduled visits. Every other day works good. You can take your off day and do something different. (Riding your bike, running, whatever) I'm working on making it into 19-21 times every other day. I'll start today.

Regular Member Way2Go Posted March 16, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2008 Besides the fact that you'll be healthier and look good to the women, you also won't have worry about falling over when you're trying to put your shoes on, and you'll also be able to walk up the stairs without it seeming like you just went through a marathon. Seriously though, working out and staying in shape definitely makes you feel better about yourself. I always get a great sense of accomplishment after I finish my work out. You'll also have alot more energy for various activities, like ones that might involve you and a woman. Last but not least, you'll keep yourself looking younger.

Guest Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Dear usually, stress takes an impact on the way your body works.Take brisk 30 minute walks after work, and slowly work your way up to jogging, then when you're motivated enough, go to the gym. It's hard to get back to your original routine instantly, so start a foundation and improve from there. Good Luck!!!! ----------- Fitness Training, Muscle Training Directory, Fitness Directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhsmith Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 When I have had a long lay off this is what I do. ( Three times a week) I start by first going to gym and only doing a sauna and wirlpool bath for first week. This gets me in habit of going. Second week I exercise about 15 minutes then sauna and wirlpool bath. Each succeeding week, I increase exercise time by 15 minutes until my desire workout time is reached. Then, I continue as usual. Hopes this helps you. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
