Suggested fitness routines.

Here's an aerobics routine that I read aobut recently. How can this be improved? What music would be good with this? Stretch No movement physically. Constant or increasing pressure Meditation music prefered. 10 minutes typical Warmup Nonstructured exercise which must be completed within 4-6 minutes. Something to inspire...beat not required. Could even be a speech. Regular Set 10-20 repetitions in 2 count, 4 count or 8 count Power Set 40-60 repetitions SuperSet Regular and/or Power sets with less than 20 seconds rest between sets. Preferably nonstop. Walking Jogging Running Each of these is speed dependant. Stride music. Jazz, rock, band or dance. Cooldown Nonstructured exercises 3 minutes Final Stretch Up to 20 minutes.

If I were more industrious, I would start a cycling ocnference. I went looking for a road bike on Sat. biggest problem is my size. Very few bikes with a low enough stand over and short enough top tube. I think I'll end up with a freak show bike : 24 in front wheel!

I'm lookin' for a dirt bike too!

Yeah I hear dirtbiking will keep you in shape, IF you're in shape! Never done it. Anyone a practicing martial artist? I spent high school & 3 years of college developing my skills, a discipline that has stayed with me as a fitness enhncer to this day. Believe me I could always work-out more, but I much prefer it to aerobics.

~stacey Mon, Dec 15, 1997 (20:20) #5

I taught aerobics for too long... it has ceased to amuse me.

The aerobics classes at the Q are always packed with women.

and....? (o:}

~stacey Wed, Dec 17, 1997 (20:19) #8

THAT's why he goes. Or why he stands at the water fountain for extended periods of time!

LOL. We've all been there I bet. I won a membership to a club somehow 2 years ago, I think I filled out a slip in a pizzeria. When I went in to East coast Fitness (6', 155lbs, reasonable definition), I find that it's a haven for *serious* bodybuilders! I mean guys who are bouncers, competitors, hardbodies to the max. Intimidating as entering a strange bar where all the bikers stop talking. BUT it turned out to be a great place to work out with Nautilus and free weights and the guys and few women were grea ; no time spent on BS'ing just exercise. I'll miss it.

~stacey Thu, Dec 18, 1997 (11:17) #10

Memberships too outrageously expensive to sponsor yourself?

~Cafe Thu, Dec 18, 1997 (14:37) #11

No, I moved 40 miles and 30 minutes away. Membership was $230 a year, a bargain. The way a club ought to be, now that I've seen the Ballys' garbage on one hand and the near by pool with tennis club and weight room on the other. So it's wieghts in the basement and out by the shed, with a little basketball and woodchopping when I can!

Gotta try woodchopping. Sounds like it would indeed work up a sweat.

~terry Fri, Dec 19, 1997 (01:41) #14

I'm with ya on the basketball, I can play for hours.

~Cafe Fri, Dec 19, 1997 (10:52) #15

Yeah chopping wood's pretty good. Unfortunately basketball is a near-dead game around here. I'm determined to find time to work at oganizing a loose bunch at some point; most of the "dads" around here are health club & NordicTrac fans. And the younger kids around have no interest or just flat can't play ball. One of the shocks of moving away from the city? I'will probably put a 1/2 court pad in my backyard this summer, I gotta shoot!

~stacey Fri, Dec 19, 1997 (11:03) #16

I play 21 with my kids every now and again... helps with the height advantage (no matter how slight!)

~terry Fri, Dec 19, 1997 (22:14) #17

Great I'll play ya 21 when you get to town!

~stacey Mon, May 18, 1998 (19:00) #18

no routine... routines get old I hate exercise for the sake of exercise I prefer it to be a result of my going out and having a good time!

~KitchenManager Wed, May 20, 1998 (02:14) #19

if that could always be case, I might actually exercise...

~stacey Wed, May 20, 1998 (16:43) #20

how do you like to have a good time? what activity do you wish burned more calories or produced more lean muscle mass?

~KitchenManager Wed, May 20, 1998 (19:27) #21

hard to tell anymore... not sure, I'll have to think on it awhile... (gotta feeling it'll be something like daydreaming or fantasizing, though!)

~stacey Wed, May 20, 1998 (19:30) #22

well, perhaps we could harness the pleasure of that activity and combine it with something truly physical... (got any magazines?) *giggle*

~KitchenManager Wed, May 20, 1998 (20:25) #23

lotsa National Geographics, why?

~stacey Thu, May 21, 1998 (10:00) #24

perhaps if you were to fantasize about climbing, let's say Denali, we could work out some sort of physical movements to actually work the body!

~KitchenManager Thu, May 21, 1998 (11:15) #25

virtual exercise...think I'm gonna like this (or would that be fantasy exercise...hmmmm)
