###GYM / Workouts Thread###
Hey guys,
I decided to go back to the gym again.
And I wanted to see if there are any other fellow s2k members who go to the gym or workout on a weekly basis.
I wanted to see if anyone would to share and hear tips from everyone.
Please no downgrading/flaming on workouts or methods. Thread's meant to help one another out on methods to proceed with personal goals.
On a side note.
I was studying and resuming to acquire my NASM certification for personal training.
And i am currently studying to acquire my BS in Nutrition to become a Registered Dietician.
I also was a APFT/Fitness trainer during my duties in the ARMY. If you'd like some info or just some past workouts or tips on individual improvement through workouts and other methods. Feel free to post or PM me.
Appreciate the view.
Hope this thread is helpful!

Here's my daily workout:
- Run 3 miles nonstop, then speed walk 1/4 mile at 45 degree incline(all on a treadmill)
- 30 minutes of lifting weights
- 30 minutes of cycling on a machine
- mountain biking, playing sports, etc. during weekends
- drink mostly water and trying to eat healthy....I'm a calories counting freak...haha
...lost about 20-25lbs since the beginning of the year.

Dang!! you're a stud. Cardio is great.
Awesome job with the daily run.
Nice decline. Decline is a must on tread mills. or I mean incline.
Calorie Counting? ugghhh.. I hate that... xD
But if you're serious about losing weight, thats the way to go.
Man props to you for your workout. I just lift 5 times a week for about 2hrs.
Or my last workout session was that.
Last workout session
-Weight Lifting 5 times a week
-Aimed for mass and strength
-Cardio:
-Basketball 4 times a week, for 1-2 hours
-Bike riding, fixed gear, 1 hour a week. haha xD
-Food
-SeeFood diet
-Eat everything in sight. I would never gain weight. Damn fast metabolism curse! -___-
-Water and Juice consumed. And occasional festivity drinks every once in a while
-Lost 15lbs in a month due to no workout and improper eating habits.
But just started again last week.
My workout regime... excited to see results
Dedication, Intensity, Determination, Tolerance = Results

The worst thing to think about. Definitely changing it up on what you do, as after a year or two I got extremely bored of the basic gym and gained it all back. If I were to do it again, I'd look for more interesting workouts that don't involve a gym so much.
I did start on a low sodium diet, and would recommend it to others. Salt just has to many negatives versus positives.

here's my workout.....
rolling off my bed, putting on my clothes and shoes, then walking about 25ft to my car. I also do some leg workouts, such as engaging the clutch pedal and stepping on the gas pedal

i was waiting for someone to put up that workout.
and Marco. You're the winner!!
In reference to workouts not involving the gym!
There are so many... It's very fun!!
Lots of body exercise, especially at jungle gyms! You can get very creative!
Just do the exercises in sets with reps. Basically just turn the action into a repeated move to make it an exercise!
I always try to do a different routine of workouts every 2 weeks. So I don't plateau.

i workout twice a week.
- 13-15 circuit workout (upper body and lower body circuits)
- 3 sets of 8 repetitions
that usually takes 1 hour 30-45 minutes followed by cardio
- 3.0MPH at 15% incline for 20 minutes
my circuits are on laminated flashcards on a ring that i take with me to the gym (they show the workout and talk about it). i made them from my Mens Health Workout Bible.
for diet, i mainly watch what i eat and how much. i try to stick with sandwiches most of the week, or 5 ounce Bumblebee tuna on ritz crackers. i also eat fruit with my lunch meals. i eat wholewheat cheerios with 2% milk for breakfast. what i eat for dinner varies. lots of water intake also.
