It's safe to say every person in this forum is in some way a sports fan if not even an addict. Do you do sports and if so, what type of sports?

As a thread starter ill tell a bit about my past and present routines.. I consider myself a physically active person and from a young age have been taking part of different activities. I really enjoy team orientated sports bc they are so much more rewarding. When i was young i used to sky a lot, but after a while i realised it's great leisure time activity but something not for me. So soon my workouts became more strength orientated and it all began with simple ''100 push-up series''. It gave me strength and stamina to move on to P90X, which ive done through once in succession plus a year now ive been selecting different exercises and workouts from there to bring in to weekly routine. As the goal is to gain mass not lose it, the plan divides between 3 strength and 2 cardio days. Weekend is for rest and football. Usual bench weights vary from 50kgs to 70kgs, all depends on the day and work out intensity. (8-10 reps mass, 12-15 definition). On jogging days, the usual goal is to cover a distance between 6-7 kms, which i spice up with a 100m dash in the end to get the 'best' out of myself.

Any other sports fanatics on this board? Please share your habits and stories, much appreciated

Kind regards,

I was doing bodybuilding for two years and was pretty in shape if i may say. This year i was about to do a contest in March. My weight was that moment 81kg 178lbs (in shape), my length is 180cm. Unfortunately i got affected with leukaemia in January, many chemotherapies, radiotherapies and a bone marrow transplantation got me 'fixed' i'm still recovering. I lost all my muscle tissue and my weight is now 65kg, 143lbs (off shape). Whenever i'm fully recovered i'll go train hard again and chase my dreams!

Woah, 81kgs is great for your height, well done mate. It's so hard to put on muscle unless youre on a very strict routine or have just freak genetics. Goodluck Vincent and hopefully bodybuilding has given you a positive outlook on life and its tricky paths, bcs ive always thought that it builds character At the end of the day, it's just sport.. main thing is to keep fighting and keep the faith mate..

I don't play sports seriously. just for a bitta fun! When I was younger I used to be so fat but then I was quite sick for about 4 years and lost a lot of weight and that kinda spurred me on to get fit! I joined gyms, went to motivation clinics etc and now I exercise nearly everyday without fail. I have my own treadmill and I either go on that for 30 mins including 25 mins of the gym plate and then crunches and all or I go out to ardgillan and run the hill of death! I literally can't go a day without exercising or I feel so guilty! I have done bootcamps and signed myself up for another dance one and a zumba dance class also. I really enjoy exercising and the odd time if I feel I'm slacking a bit i'll sign myself up for a marathon so that I have something to aim for or I bye clothes that are a dress size smaller than me so my target would be to fit into it I'd say I spend over an hour a day exercising, its not that much but I don't have time.

Really mate 74? I mean no disrespect but i thought you were like 30 max.

[BluesChick 1,260]

pilates!! I haven't been able to do pilates because of the move but i will get back to it soon!!

[gary gordon 1,777]

I played football from when I was 5 till i was 15. I started getting pretty tall so I began playing basketball, i started getting pretty heavy so I began playing Rugby League. Within 2 years of starting league i was selected for a representative side and played for them for two seasons until i gave up to focus on my school work. I now keep fit by running 4kms 2 times a week.. Other then that ive kept fit by doing Athletics, Tae Kwon Do, Indoor Soccer, Cricket and Rugby Union over the years..

I done Muay Thai for about a year, got my arse kicked by a guy named Kin who came over from Thailand, ever trained with a Thailand fighter?, they don't even tell you that ''right i'm going to knee you randomly, you have to dodge'', they just knee you straight away, but i'm having a rest now, in a few weeks time i'm going back to boxing.

Unfortunately I've never trained with a Thai, someday though I wanna try make it over and do a bit of training over there. Yeah there's a few polish lads that i've trained with that just throw unexpected knees in sparring and a couple of mma lads that treat a spar like a fight and try to bury you at full power. It's a great sport though, makes you solid

I did enjoy it there to be honest, but some of the injuries you can get there by just training and sparring, it does make you solid that's the good outcome of it. There was a guy at our gym who had a fight and told us the bloke could kick like a horse, his full legs were damaged and bruise and he had to stand up to take a shit lol!. But just to warn you Thai's are really strict, well mine was, at first he used to call my kicks shit, and he would let me know i was shit, but i just kept on practicing and soon when he praised me i knew i done good because he's a person who is hard to please. Though anyway good luck in your thai boxing, i will probably get back into it.

I've actually just done the first month of P90X. It's pretty hard going. Usually play football 3 times a week for a couple of hours too.

[EskWeston 696]

Go running everyday pretty much. Not majorly seriously though, do about 30 minutes a day. Would never find the time to train any harder to do a marathon or anything like that though....
