Any other gym queens?

Anyone else a bit of a gym freak like myself?

unfortunately my mates lack motivation and knowledge, and despite my attempts to encourage them, they still believe that the way to get a beach body is to just posess a gym membership!

im also training as a Personal trainer so if anyone wants some advice on exercise and nutrition i will happily bore people to their back teeth

cheer guys

I used to up until about 5-6 months ago. Did a fair bit of exercise, nothing too extreme though. But with work etc I've struggled to find time sadly.

My brother still goes everyday without fail.

I hate the gym or any kind of organised exercise . I prefer to go for a jog or a long walk with my music on.

My oh much prefers going to the gym or boxing and is much fitter than me

cheers for the replies guys! im seriously struggling for motivation at the moment, i think its the weather lol!

My oh always says...the first day you don't go is the beginning of the end....to that I say '' oh be quiet and have some chocolate''

haha sounds a bit like my relationship tbh lol

I was a group and personal trainer for nearly 10 years

I'm not a gym freak myself but I am married to one. Not so much these days but he has trained as a Fitness instructor and dietician in the past. Can be somewhat annoying at times.

my mrs will most definately agree, particurlarly when i turn my nose up at her skipping breakfast!

I used to go gym religiously.
Whole life revolved around it. I'll be back soon when I've sorted my shift patterns out

^^^^^ as above, it was my life for a few years ... my mate owned the gym i used, and he was a semi pro bodybuilder so used to go watch him compete a fair bit

I train a bit at home still, but mainly just to keep strength in the muscle groups I need for climbing ... but yeah, I was proper into it beofre moving to where I am now .. and I do miss it

Used to hate exercise, went to the gym a few years back and loved it. At the moment walking Loki I can just about manage, so no chance of getting to the gym and giving him adequate exercise, but I'm hoping when I can do more exercise, I can go back and take it more seriously because I want to get fitter and lose some weight.

I'm a huge gym rat

why diet and excercise? we're all gonna go the same way anyway

Not really. Exercise makes you feel better and you are less tired during the day since you will have more energy. If you eat right and exercise you also put off alot of health problems and will live a longer life

Not good, your dogs are trying to tell you something. If a tired dog is a good dog the same holds true for people.

I was into it a while ago but stopped, just starting up again now!

Brought quite alot of stuff from MyProtein (total protein shake, creatine monohydrate, multivitamins, fish oil tablets, etc).

And brought a sh*t load of chicken/salmon to freeze which is what I'm going to base my diet on.

Training isn't a problem for me, I can get into it pretty well but I always have a problem with diet, either not being able to eat enough calories or just falling for too many carbs (i'm a sucker for desserts!)

Never even been to a gym! But I am active at work and in shape and get enough exersize with Moo, although I would love the attitude to want to go Xx

I used to go the gym allot but like allot on here work starts to take up so much time that spare time is normally spent with the family rather than down the gym. Would love to get back into it as like jstaff says it does make you feel better and more energetic

im quite lucky and have a gym at work, so it keeps the motivation up walking past it every day 10 ten times.

Quite into it at the moment, been going for about 9 months but before then it was about 4 years since id done anything resembling excersize....apart from walking the mush of course.

For those without the time, when talking your hound out, get heavy ankle and wrist weights...makes your walk more of a workout...

or..

tabata

tabata is a instense circuit training. They last 4 minutes but best to do 1-4 every couple of days.

12 mins every two days?

give it a google/youtube search I love these circuits.
