the jeagler's been maintaining his 4 or 5 day a week gym schedule but the workout thread has almost completely died on gtp. how come you never post there anymore dude?

DonJon · August 2009

GDay big J hope you are well....Im plugging away.

As you can see the Ziggmeister has decided to get fit for the upcoming tour. :shock:

Mate I was just spending way too much time at work posting and something had to give...it was an ethical work call

. So I had to limit where I posted.

Be back in an hour after I smash this workout...gonna have to check the board at gym...cant remember time I last did this...about 25-30mins from memory

And why is that so shocking? Hmmmm....? Just you wait until you meet me on tour -- you'll see me walking towards you and think "gee she looks good in pants"...and then you'll realise it's me, your young trainee.

Fuck I hope I stick with it now after making that comment

Exactly.......DonJon may have ethical issues teaching someone who is doing it for the wrong reasons :?

Feeling good, sharp and healthy is the reason for doing such things....if you happen to look good then that is a bonus.

Half the males that go to gyms are only there to bulk up - put on muscle mass....its such a bad attitude. Gimme 10mins with any of those steroid freaks and they wouldnt know what hit them.

Look punk....just teach me okay.... :x

How can looking good be for the wrong reason? Looking good = feeling good. Look like crap = feel like crap. Okay....I want to feel good, sharp and healthy....and comfortable in pants on tour with no chubby thighs....happy? And improve my posture.

We all have different motivators. And once I starting feeling awesome I won't want to stop.

just wondering as I know of people who have bought things like that got them and never really used them!

ZiggyStar · August 2009

:oops: I've used it about 30 times or so.....it's just so boring exercising on the one spot like that. :roll:

DonJon · August 2009

I cant comment on those things coz Ive never used them one.....and never will. Those machines make me cringe

Just do own body weight stuff mate.

There is no way your can just rely on lunges. Walk FAST for say 500m then do 5 lunges eac leg. Walk another 500 then do say 10 body squats etc etc. Try to go for about 15-20 mins to start you off. You wont like it but thats all part of it. It took me 3-4 days a week for 3-4 months before I got the bug....so dont give up.

After you have done the first week try to incorporate a slow jog (coz walking aint exercise

) instead of the run...or alternate...walk one then run one.

Set your self some form of goal each workout but try to do the same 'sort' of workout each time so you can monitor your improvement.

If you are serious then email me workouts (# on reps, time run etc) an Ill keep adding stuff on for you.

This is a BIG call mate. Its a discipline that sucks when you first start but the rewards are incredible. On an equal par to giving up smoking....there is no short term result...it takes a while

zenith · August 2009

ive got a cross trainer ... a bit more heavy duty looking than that thing. - its a cardio workout on those. gets you sweating heaps - put your mp3 on and youll zone out in no time

hhmmm - ok - today

(my sets are 12)

3 sets lunges
3 sets squats,(with a set of standstill squats at the end of the 3rd rep - standstill, is stay in the lower squat position and only half rise ... with a bar over your shoulders, its kind of torture .... )
3 sets arm lifts
3 sets biceps curls
3 sets - im not sure what you call them - they work the shoulders in a pump class ... stand upright, and bend forward at a right angle and keep your back straight, lower the bar to the floor and then back up to your chest, keeping your core tight. works your tummy and your shoulders

so all those are done with 8kg bar

then 3 sets each of crunches, and then obliques ...
all that above takes about 20 minutes

then walk to work (2kms) then back home tonight (2kms)

and zig .... thats usual for me - and i think im so unfit its not funny. i think my arse is huge, i have a fat tummy, my thighs are like tree trunks. but my friends tell me im mental and i look fine .... i think most girls have a ridiculous self perception problem. we see tiny little stick insects, and think we should look like that.

i really think i need to tone up my midsection and my butt ... but *shrug* i drink and eat shit too ... so unless i stop drinking and eat like im on jenny craig, it's not going to happen.

DonJon · August 2009

They are called bent over rows my dear. Very good for your upper back.

Good work Zenith...tho I didnt read it all. Gotta run for bus.

Speak tomorrow

ZiggyStar · August 2009

Okay, well I got home late from work and Leigh had to go out and he doesn't want me walking around the neighbourhood by myself at night time......so I did two youtube workouts instead.....

Today I did:

10 lunges (note: each leg)

10 squats
15 mins very fast walking on the spot with other shit thrown in like kicks, moving arms up and down, some star jumps etc
8-10 mins jogging on the spot (I slowed to a fast march to have a rest every few minutes)

The videos said raise my legs up as far as they will go and move my arms as much as I can when walking/jogging....gee you can feel the difference!

.......and after that piddley amount of exercise I'm stuffed!

I'm so sad.
