I remember that natural high after a good workout. Yeah when it comes to exercise, the trick really is consistency. That's where the sometimes wall of a lack of any noticeable gain gets overcome by will.

Been a month without a beer. Was surprised to see on my bank statement was seven different occasions I purchased it last month, I thought it was about half that.

... still need to get the punchbag so I can punch the fuck out of it!

Ive got a heavy bag I haven't used in forever. It's set up in the basement though, hanging from the steel beam that is the main support for the house. I need to clear the junk out of the way. I've had it since about 1980 and it's still swinging.

yep.

this is what I've been doing until a few days ago, but an hour or so I ago I really pushed myself in the garden, I did over 5000 skips and 100 arm curls, feeling great that I pushed myself,

skipping or jumping rope is a great exercise and it really makes your heartbeat, burns loads of calories too get rid of the stomach fat haha !!

jumping rope is one the best cardio exercises, it's very low impact and it's hard to pull a muscle so its really safe to do, you just need high enough ceilings to do it indoors, just get a skipping rope with wooden handles and the leather whip so it's a bit heavy, they give you extra length so you can cut it to your size and you're ready to jump or you can do it in the garden on some concrete, or lay down a thin mat so the rope don't get scuffed on the concrete....

I’m 315 pounds……I haven’t smoked weed in 6 months to help stop the late night eating and it seems to have worked…I think the problem now is that all my kids have moved out and I still cook dinner proportions as if they all still lived here…I’ll be lucky to live to be 60 if I don’t get this under control.

cook those dinners!
but cut em up and divide them for a week.
freeze if more

then
enjoy the new time off not having to cook them everyday affords!!!

gotta be some disipline you got couldnt need a new force hard at work at...

takes a vision...

I'll share... that vaping all day, every day, is why I can run with my dog, and not breathe out of my mouth but through the nose. Mid fifties, and I feel every bit of it at times... especially in the morning arthritis in the hands...but other times I'm still a just slightly less "lean mean fighting machine!"

go on the OMAD diet ( one meal a day) and get a jump rope you will lose weight and get fit at the same time, give yourself 3 months and you will see results

just drink water or drink tea/ coffee without sugar during the day and have your ONE meal in the evenings after your skipping workout do it for 12 weeks and you will lose the weight,

drink plenty of water to flush out the toxins and stick to the OMAD diet.

do skipping for cardio and get a resistance band or just find a real heavy rock in the garden and start throwing the bastard around,pick up rock and repeat and mix it in with skipping,

basically50 or 100 skips, rest a little pick up the rock and carry it around or any weight you can find, then go back to skipping, back and forth for 20/30 mins every day...

Rebound exercise begins as soon as someone steps on a rebounder and begins to move their body. It can be highly aerobic — full-on sprints and interval training are ideal on a rebounder, because it does not jar the physical body anywhere near as much as does hard ground — or it can be very slow and gentle, with only a gentle rocking taking place.

Just as rebounders have evolved from poorly made spring-based units to modern spring-based units and high-end bungee-based units, the types of exercise and movement done on rebounders has evolved as well.

Al Carter initially introduced the distinction between the “health bounce”[8] (a gentle rocking motion that anyone in any state of health can do, which was said to stimulate the immune system), an “aerobic bounce” that involved elevating the heart rate (either running in place or dancing), and the “strength bounce,” which involved higher bouncing with both feet leaving the mat (leading to both abdominal and lower body strength directly as well as to the strengthening of all bodily cells through the accelerative force applied (see Claimed Benefits below)

wiki - small trampoline lead to rebound excercise and i found this picture there. havnt seen those boots before. can anyone make out the manufacturer???

what i did see almost 30 years ago was the same idea. but the blades or springs if you will were longer, extending front and back at least a foots out from under your footprint. i recall these blades being 'skinKneeEr'. they looked dangerous but awesome how high you could jump. how much faster you could run wearing them. out in the high desert lots of canyons you have to climb are steep and boulder strewn. rattlesnake canyon is one. always though i could get through faster if i could jump down from greater height in safety.

i had a really good workout today, smashed it for a whole hour put everything into it,

I have a 15-kilo slam ball which I pick up and slam against the wall I did that 100 times and in between I did 100 arm curls and 5000 skips.

gonna buy a 20-kilo slamball now, the 15-kilo is not heavy as it used to be, just goes to show I m getting stronger, also gonna get a sack and fill it with sand maybe so it weighs around 50 to 60 kgs and carry that up and down the garden also pick up the sack lift it to my left shoulder and put it down again and then the right shoulder ill do sets of that in between my skipping and slamball routine.

[dill786]

feeling a lot stronger recently, I have been lifting more heavy weights and consuming plenty of protein eating well, cutting out the chocolates, cakes, crisps or chips as you call them, these days I look forward to training I think I have reached a " state of flow" another thing which makes me enthusiastic to exercising is I am seeing physical changes to my body so that's encouraging me to to take it to the next level..
