Which way do you think is the best way to do physical exercise?

Drunk.

Spaceship?

mentally

Guys, care to tell me what is wrong?

Anal sex

Whichever motivates you the most.

I train well at home but surrounded by others in a gym, waiting for machines/benches etc, wouldn't be good.

Also depends on goal, there is no set answer. If you want to get stronger then running outside won't do much, if you want to improve stamina or do HIIT then training in your house means you won't have many options other than a skipping rope.

I kinda meant this without a specific goal like weight loss or getting stronger. But thats a good point though. Pretty sure a lot of people have a goal when doing exercise. I'd add an option like "Depends if I have a specific goal" in the poll if I could. Janszoon, can you pliz add that for me matey?

Well for the average Joe who just wants to do a bit of exercise/improve fitness I would say running outside is the best. Go on a different route each day and see something different. Indoor cardio does my tits in.

Team sports are good too but you need other people for that.

You can have a good workout with all the poll options but I think it's important to enjoy your workouts, I cannot think of a more boring way to train than being sat indoors on an exercise bike staring at a wall.

Eating a whole Turkey. That sure breaks a sweat!

Yes I definitely agree with that, though the option is there just for those who doesnt find it boring. In my opinion the best way is outside just walking normally. I hate running, It makes me tired quickly.

Bellying up to the nearest bar and doing liquid curls...

Nothing is wrong, but I'm wondering what spaceships have to do with exercising.

playing drums.

The same reason why anal beads is always being added as an option to my polls. Eheheheheh.

When It comes to running, I'm like a dog. If I'm not chasing a ball I get bored quickly.

I don't like gyms really, I'm cheap, hate treadmills, not sure where to look, have to wait for machines, surrounded by fatty tryhards or vanitymirror ripcurls or dontogle fitties, probably not fit enough at the moment for a decent workout session anyway.

I excercise at home, shirtless, my own music blaring, air guitaring when neccessay, and taking frequent breaks.

I find that I have the most fun when I'm playing basketball, tennis, raquetball, or some such, but I really think any way is good. I also dig jogging with my iPod on, be it outdoors or at the gym.

I hate strength training and weights, but I kind of need to incorporate those because of my secondary occupation as an indie wrestler.

I abhor gym environments, and much prefer hiking. It's actually quite frustrating living in Knoxville, seeing that I'm 45 minutes away from dozens of parks and trails in the Smokeys, but no practical time to visit them.
By the way Whiskey, your Silver avatar makes me read everything you say in a snarky tone.

I hate the gym. I either walk a lot, or swim.

I run a little, but it has to be in the countryside, or parks etc not on the roads.

Do you workout to be entertained?

Please tell me you've tried this.

Yeah kinda.

Enjoying the journey, health benefits and progress you make > focusing on the end result and losing motivation after two weeks.

The best way to stick to it is to make it fun. If you don't enjoy it, what's the point?

:laughing:

I wish. It would be a physically impossible thing to do!

Any topic where Friends references are relevant is a good topic indeed.

Well, I mean I do it to look like a golden god. **** enjoying things. I'll be happy when I'm dead.

It is with that attitude.

Ya know what I mean man. I wanna feel good, I exercise cause some exercise feels good. I also wanna look good, I exercise cause some exercise makes you look good too. But CHECK dis! I look good when I feel good an' I feel good when I look good. Multilevel stuff man, it's like philosphy or sumtin deep like the ocean, the big blue ocean.

You can swim in the ocean, it's good exercise.

Look out for sharks.

Where did you think I got the idea?

Honey, my stomach isn't the size of a Turkey, therefore it wouldn't fit. ;)

That's the spirit mate :)

Yes, I do have a goal, but if I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't train. You don't enjoy the pump or lifting weights? The 'high' after you've finished?

Guys are you lonely and morbid like me that you only do exercise alone at home with exercise machine? Eheheheheheh.....

I like team sports, because I'm really competitive so don't realise the work I'm doing.

I also like running and generally 'playing' with my puppy, which includes a game of football and me sprinting away from her but she catches me quickly now. :(

I don't use the gym much because I play Volleyballwith college. Finished all my gym work :D plus the gym is generally boring and full of posers.

Honestly i've never felt pumped or high off lifting weights. I do enjoy the way my body feels and looks after. I think the desired effect is a reward itself. The act of working out does nothing for me however.

Well I normally don't enjoy myself when I need to breathe out my ass, so I'd go with afterwards.

Guys do you also get hit by obstacles and people when running outside? I do. Thats why I only do normal walking. That way nothing would hit me on the way. Though I guess since I said earlier that I only exercise alone at home....well, I do that usually, but I also go outside and take a walk too. Fresh air, meeting strangers, peeing in the bushes.....so many awesome adventures on the journey.

what does that entail?

Anyway which you enjoy is the best way lol

Im into road cycling for the last 5 years and i love it

i tried this last weekend. I got 10 minutes before my bike just suddenly broke down in a fit of rage.

^ Sounds like a job for....



In this thread, Man Like Monkey could be me talking. 100% agree about walking/cycling/running, also about the enjoying, the fresh air and the outside.

My health has actually improved substantially over the summer from 20,000 km on the bike, probably a quarter of that mileage being off-roading and trail riding. Wrestling 300 lb dirt bikes up and down mountains is actually a hell of a workout for your legs, core, and arms. I've lost about 15 or 20 pounds since I started riding without adjusting my diet at all (which includes a lot of pizza, pasta, and beer, though I still do pay attention to calorie intake most days).

You mean like -pushing away from the table?
