I was working out at a gym for a while but once I got my body where I wanted it I quit. It just sort of stays in shape now on its own as long as I eat lots of sh*t.
A 1 two hour Street Jazz dance class per week
This workout beats every single other workout routine I have ever tried
The best workout is being compiting on something:
-Dance
-Weight lifting
-Sports
-Whatever
Compete gives motivation to stay in good shape, because you have to keep it.
For example:
I'm a swimmer, I don't workout to be good looking physically, I just want to win, and that makes me workout hard everyday.
My workouts involve martial arts, reading, developing myself as a person, and having the integrity to not feel the need to brag on a forum about all the heavy things I lift. Seriously, does anyone actually care about anyone else's workout routine?
Oh I don't know, maybe the guy who made the thread "Post your workout routine"?Quote:

And I'm glad you have the integrity to not feel the need to brag on a forum about all the heavy things you lift, but I just wish you'd have the integrity not to brag about having the integrity to not feel the need to brag on a forum about all the heavy things you lift.
Work on that for me, champ.
I wasn't bragging. I don't think I'm anything special just because I don't make stupid threads. I just thought it was a little weird to have a discussion about how many situps you do, or how many reps on a dumbell. I might as well make a thread about the order in which I wash myself in the shower.
And don't call me champ, chief.
I enjoyed reading Tones routine. I learned there is something called a 'reverse pushup'. I get bored trying to do weight on my own, so I tend to do classes where someone else can boss me around for an hour.Quote:

Would a reverse pushup be a benchpress? Lol, just a thought.
I don't know... but it would make sense. The movement & direction of resistance is the same, isn't it?Quote:

This is why I do classes. They yell, I move. Simple.
I would think you'd have to flip to a bench press once pushing your own body weight became too easy? Unless someone sat on you?
Not exactly. Pushups work your entire core. Benchpress wouldn't do much for your abs.
