"i WALK a mile in 18 minutes"

unobjectively speaking that's terrible time i can walk a 10 minute mile pretty easily

dude i can walk a mile in <20 minutes too it's not exactly hard you just need to have speed and stamina

and even then you don't need a lot of speed or stamina

yeah an 18 minute mile is more of a casual saunter

superhuman breakfast: 2 or more fried eggs, buttered rye toast, 1 mug of instant coffee w/ whole milk and 1 cup of granola and optionally another large glass of whole

in my experience i can burn through an entire schoolday just off this, so i can easily skimp out on lunches, which means more money in my pocket that doesn't have to be fruitlessly drained into more food

walking generally doesnt take any speed or stamina

yeah you just need to be able to move your legs

for anyone on ottd who wants to get into lifting weights

its good for you and it won't stunt your height if you've heard that unless you literally grind your bones into dust; you'll get taller than you otherwise would because of the extra testosterone

always lift with a brotha so you don't kill yourself or have to crush your weiner

work out in clothes that don't limit your range of motion if you wear them

use proper form because bad form won't give you gainze and you risk fucking up yer body

walking a 10 minute mile definitely takes some leg strength

form's a bitch when you're on the floor. i've used a bench before and it feels a lot more natural

earlier i felt a bit of a popping noise while lifting and i was like thats all folks it was probably just my joints or something but im not taking too many risks

if biking wasn't easier to do than running it probably wouldn't have become an alternative to it

i could run forever if it wasnt for the stupid asthma or whatever the fuck it is that i get in my lungs really quickly that hurts like a motherfucker and makes every breath feel like im inhaling fire

im pretty sure that's called 'being tired' and its a symptom of being out of shape

for the millionth time, no, its a different thing

i could go on forever, like my legs feel fine after running a quarter mile and one of my lungs is also fine

but the other lung? screaming in horrible pain i can hardly breathe when it first happened i thought i had ruptured my spleen or something (i was a kid)
there is something wrong with my lungs and i want it to be fixed because if it were fixed id go running every day i love running i just cant do it without my lung bleeding internally

i had gym every day in middle school and every day we would run and stretch and work out and all kinds of stuff BUT every day when i ran for a long period of time around the gym i would eventually have to stop because one of my lungs was just on fire. just one, in one place

oh yeah and that was when i rode my bike back and forth every day and before that i walked home from school for like five years

If it really is a medical problem then talk with your doctor because Viagra might not be right for you

fagz gunna need more than viagra

YVA is fucking massive. I'm probably going to burn like a k of calories just traversing this place with all this luggage

You have no idea how quickly fitness can degrade.

broke my bike out and pedaled it down into town for something I got in the mail and holy heck when I got off to walk at an intersection I was kind of stumbling because I was pedaling so hard I numbed my legs it was a glorious feeling

definitely going to start using this baby more

its actually pretty rad to see a fitness thread on here

Kinda curious, do any of you have weekly/monthly schedules???? like with planned out meals and workouts and all or do you just kind of do whatever whenever

tuesday/wednesday/thursday is shoulders abs triceps thursday/friday/saturday is back biceps saturday sunday monday is chest triceps i pick one of those days to keep it mixed up every day or every other day is running

>>mfw no leg day

I don't follow any schedule because it's not a huge enough thing for me. I just make sure to eat like a monster and lift heavy things on a regular basis.

something i dont understand: if fat is just 'energy on reserve' how the fuck come fat people have no energy?

ive never been even over bmi 20 though so i wouldn't know from experience. but that's how it is apparently

fat is excess energy being stored

fat people have extra weight that restricts their movement and makes moving more difficult; they also usually live lethargic lives so they're not used to expending energy
