What is your fitness regime?

[Jane Honda]

I am curious as to what you all use for fitness, to make your riding better? What do you do for excersize and nutrition? I am curious for those that are crunched for time, as well as those that devote a huge amount of time to fitness.



Educate me. :ride:

[parallax]

hi jane!! i got a universal set in my garage for excercise,,yesterday i hiked up to the top of spencers butte,,usually like to walk at least every other day, and stretch out the back, knees etc. when i have a chance..also alot of pushups and sit ups when time allows...( if the lazyness does not get the best of me)...l.o.l.:squid::help2:

[Fade]

Hmm..well..I have a gym at the UO that is "free" and i like to use that...my fitness regime was supposed to start today, but might be postponed til tomrrow. I havent been able to regularly go for awhile, but I'm changing that now!

[AndrewR6]

I do 12 ounce curls quite often. makes your forearm stronger for those long rides through the mountains plus adds a little padding against the tank. You must never do this workout before you ride though as it takes alot out of you and is unsafe.....

:laughing:

Andrew, I have the same excersize equipment as you in my fridge..we must shop at the same place.

[Nicegy525]

I sit up and get out of bed. Then I go to work and proceed to walk alot. I also sometimes lift an 80 pound floor jack in and out of a van.

then again other people just do yoga...

[Fade]

Yoga stresses me out...

[lotsamtbottls]

for 'fitness' i do mostly free weights... try to hit the upper and lower, while completely ignoring my core (doctors orders!). if i'm feeling frisky, i'll do some sprints on the treadmill, unless the weather is good enough to do it outside. but usually i avoid the cardio stuff at all costs!!

for 'diet' i just try to do the low calorie/fat thing... just watch portions and make sure to avoid un-necessary junk at all costs. but i definitely dont follow a strict plan... i just wing it.

[MEP1000]

I play basketball a couple times a week. Try to lift free weights, but every time I get a good rythm going my court schedule screws it up

[Jane Honda]

I usually lift soft tacos from taco bell...from the table to the mouth, then to the table, then to the mouth...about 10 reps of that and theyre gone. :thumbup:

[Nicegy525]

I love to run cross country/trails, but I found it wasnt condusive to my trying to gain weight... so Ive taken to Beer, watching football and bacon double cheeseburgers!

Thats MY kind of ragime!! :bow: :rad:

[Jane Honda]

:pityfool-MrT: Yeah, you are going to think thats your kind of regime when you get passed by a girl next summer!!!!




I am trying to be SERIOUS for once.

[Jane Honda]

Ive already been passed by a girl....but it was in the past... :laughing:

[Nicegy525]

Girls make passes at me all the time so I must be doing pretty good! :yes:

[v8zman]

that was a dude wearing a wig

[FJMam]

Like Andrew, I sit up in bed. Then proceed to the coffee. Work my glutes in the Recliner and my lifting with a muffin or bowl of ice cream...........................gad that's pitiful. :( :( :(

I have a nice bicycle and live on the bike paths here in Eugene. Iexpect to be riding a lot more this year then before.
Let's see, along the path is Euphoria Chocolate, The Keg..........sorry, I forget myself.

:impaired: :eek2: :shhh:

I do walk about 7 miles a night at work. At least my legs are solid under that oh so feminine extra layer of fat............:haha: :blah-blah: :blah-blah:

[AndrewR6]

people just don't realize how much of a workout night shift is huh FJ??? why just last night I had a good 20 minute cardio/snowball fight. and we can do this cuz VERY FEW PEOPLE WORK NIGHTS I love it

[Nicegy525]

snowball fights are an awesome way to work out! I was on the roof once and I lobbed a huge slush ball right onto this guys face!!!

[lotsamtbottls]

NIGHT SHIFT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! :rad:

[TOM-CAT]

I have never been able to set up a good routine for myself in the past. So this Christmas I got myself a bicycle trainer. My plan is to condition myself enough to be able to ride to and from work when the weather gets better. Also I try to hit the free weights.

If we can get some ppl on here interested in some group bicycle rides once the weather is decent, that would be awesome! Doing some group rides could be a great way to learn the ins and outs of some of our favorite back roads. I know that we all get mad when we pass bikes on the back roads, but that is usually only when they are like “3 wide in a blind turn”(quote Ron). Or if more people would like to do in town rides, that is tight too. No point letting all of these good bicycle paths go to waste. Just some thoughts. Not trying to thread jack, I promises.:haha:

As for diet, the hardest part to my diet is convincing myself to eat. I am trying to get more fruits and vegetables into my diet. I would be willing to bet that those are two food groups that most people are skimping on.

Oh and every meal ends with...:vomit:






Just kidding!:smilewink:

[Jane Honda]

I think bicycling is a great idea!!!! I have a fantastic mountain bike that I used to ride, now its so neglected I need to redo the tires, and chain, and lube everything up, or I wouldn't even be able to sneak up on a glass of water.

[Jane Honda]

I dont get it....why would you want to ride a bicycle when you have that perfectly good motorcycle to ride? :thinking:

[TOM-CAT]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Mike :yes:

[Jane Honda]

I thought you were trying to GAIN weight Tom!? :thinking: :laughing:

[MEP1000]

NIGHT SHIFT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! :rad:


I so wish they would take me back???? One more month :rad: :rad:

[FJMam]

:eek: they let you out for a whole month!!

I'll bet you miss your nice padded room and the 3 square meals, eh? Or was it the sponge bathes? :haha:

[lotsamtbottls]

I so wish they would take me back???? One more month :rad: :rad:
you are going back to nights? good boy... thats where all the cool people work. :naughty:

[FJMam]

It's so true.

[TOM-CAT]

I must have heard somewhere that muscle weighs more than fat. :haha:

[Jane Honda]

I must have heard somewhere that muscle weighs more than fat. :haha:
Well that IS true, but you also have to look at it from this perspective...what if you were one of those unlucky people on the Titanic when it sank...you wouldnt live long in that cold water, and you sure wouldnt float very well...Or what if you were stuck in a cabin under an avalanch. Your body doesnt have any reserves to live off of for very long. I suspect that if you missed even ONE meal, youd probably starve to death. you poor poor boy! :( I am going to suggest that you do the "SuperSize Me" Diet at McDonnalds for the next month. You may loose some horse power due to unsprung weight on the bike, but you'll thank me one day when all of Eugene is swallowed up by an avalanch and thousands of thin hippies parish in cabins!

(I know...I know...:crazy: )

[lotsamtbottls]

I must have heard somewhere that muscle weighs more than fat. :haha:
not so true... its just more dense. a pound of muscle still weighs the same as a pound of fat.... its just a smaller chunk. :blah-blah:

[Nicegy525]

(I know...I know...:crazy: )

Actually I think your body will use the muscle before it uses the fat...

[FJMam]

SuperSize Me die...t! GAWD! :vomit:

That movie was a wake up call!!! The guy almost killed himself! His liver was shutting down! Plus 30# in less then a month!? :eek: :impaired: :(

[AndrewR6]

It's so true.

We should start a club

[FJMam]

What would we call ourselves? The night crawlers, Dark Time Riders,The Light Depraved, Manic Motorhead Marauders, I know! Pale Riders!!
Clint is soooo BAD! :yes:

[TOM-CAT]

not so true... its just more dense. a pound of muscle still weighs the same as a pound of fat.... its just a smaller chunk. :blah-blah:
Correctumundo! Thank you for the semantic correction.:bow:
So then, Tess, which weighs more a pound of gold or a pound of lead?:haha:

Under starvation circumstances you are correct. :thumbup:

[TAT2D]

Is this club just for people who actually work at night? Or can anyone with a f'd up sleep schedule join:sleep:
If it helps, finding something decent to watch on tv at 2 am is work!:lol:

[Jane Honda]

Im with ya on the messed up sleep schedule Bobby. I think Infomercials should be banned! Im not paying this damn cable bill every month to watch that kind of crap, and I dont care WHAT time of day or night it is! Im going to write a letter.

[TAT2D]

LMAO, Mike.
I did see a show a couple of nights ago on the science channel at 2 am called speed on two wheels. COOL SHOW!!!!! All about superbikes and how they have evolved, footage of the Hayden boys, Mat Mladin, and what they do to be at the top of their game, bike prep, etc. Very informative.:thumbup:

[lotsamtbottls]

sorry mike... we already gave the name to andrew. he called dibs, what else can i say? :idunno:

and about you guys joining our little club... well... i dont have the authority to make that sort of decision. :unsure:

Sorry Kris:unsure: Bad Bobby!!!!!:eek: :whip:

I will post something about fitness.
Eat a lot and lie around all winter. Then when summer comes, I'm so busy I forget to eat, and the extra lbs go away on their own:yes: When I can afford it I do a liquid diet that consists of Hennessy and Coca-Cola. Gotta be less calories in that than a steak.:thumbup:

Andrew, your starting to sound like a girl. :unsure:

[Need-4-Speed]

Heres my fitness regime left click, left click, scroll, scroll, left click, left click.
Do 10 reps. repeat as needed.

[Vindizzle]

Lots of masterbation really works the wrists so you have built forearms. 10X a day should make for a good racer, 5X for a normal street rider.

Also doing it doggy style for hours makes sure you do not suffer back fatigue.

And of course, getting blown and holding it for a while will simulate holding your piss in for those nasty long road trips.

Any more questions?
