The odds are heavily agaisnt you. Just go ahead, scratch that idea, and come up with a new one. You'll end up giving up in a few weeks, anyway. Only, this way, you don't get in my fucking way.


If by some off chance you stick with it, good for you.

NEW YEAR"S

[Edited on December 31, 2007 at 3:07 AM. Reason : wouldn't fit, and I figured most would put the time of year and this together....]

WHAT A LUNK

12/31/2007 4:29:57 AM

my new years resolution is always a fitness goal.

12/31/2007 9:33:33 AM

man

could you imagine working out in a place called New York Fitness

12/31/2007 9:35:51 AM

I've never thought New York was really into fitness. She seemed to have some lbs. on her.

The problem is that people set goals that are result oriented.

The trick to setting goals and achieving them is to make goals that are step by step and behavior oriented.

12/31/2007 9:38:04 AM

i aim low

12/31/2007 9:38:46 AM

goals need to be SMART

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely

short term goals are usually best for this sort of thing...ex: I want to lose 5 lbs this month

start small and once you develop the habit (usually after 2-3 consistent weeks of doing something) you should be good

glad I don't work out at NCSU anymore...the New Year's rush always sucks

12/31/2007 10:18:01 AM

I love NY fitness

12/31/2007 10:19:13 AM

btt

i don't know how someone could bring themself to sign up for a gym membership in january. you know everyone there is laughing at you.

1/2/2008 10:00:06 AM

haha

mine is NOT to go as often

1/2/2008 10:03:55 AM

simonn nyr- 1) stop living in fear of what people think

1/2/2008 10:05:51 AM

I'm dreading today's work-out. I go to the YMCA on hillsborough, so I already know that it's going to be packed with stepford wives standing around the machines talking and getting in my way. Hopefully it will only be bad for a couple weeks.

1/2/2008 10:06:56 AM

machines are for pussies, anyway

1/2/2008 10:08:28 AM

you don't use the lat pulldown? or any cable rows? get your head out of your ass

I don't use machines either, but I wouldn't mind doing some cable crossovers without having to wait for six women standing around doing tri's for 45 minutes

i'm sure it only will be

1/2/2008 10:10:42 AM

weighted pullups, corner rows, bent over rows, cleans, snatches .......whaawwt?

1/2/2008 10:11:42 AM

lat pulldowns...how about ring pullups/chins, regular pullups/chins, weighted pullups/chins, FUCK even negative pullups or assisted are better than that garbage


and cable rows??

how about T-Bar rows, BO Rows, Deadlifts, etc.


freeweights FTW, EVERYTIME

1/2/2008 10:13:06 AM

you didn't answer my question. you never use the lat pulldown? never do cable crossovers? never do the low rows with cables? I mean, it's fine if you don't, but I don't see how those could be considered "pussy" exercises

BTW, I use 80% free weights, but the cables are a great way to switch things up.

No, I don't.

1/2/2008 10:13:42 AM

who said they were "pussy" exercises


they just aren't as effective as their free weight and/or compound counterparts



[Edited on January 2, 2008 at 10:16 AM. Reason : oh ok arcgreek said machines were for pussies]

1/2/2008 10:14:43 AM

It is my resolution to lose 60 pounds this year. I shan't give up

1/2/2008 10:16:05 AM

Free weights are for wusses.

I train by doing an obstacle course: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VG5_diRx4U

1/2/2008 10:17:24 AM

that obstacle course actually looked pretty easy

the first one at least

[Edited on January 2, 2008 at 10:20 AM. Reason : ]

1/2/2008 10:19:40 AM

it looked like fun, too

1/2/2008 10:20:24 AM

Yeah, the first one looks easy, but I've seen tons of people mess up on it.

The third stage looks impossible

1/2/2008 10:26:36 AM

i spent $300 on a gym membership last year and didn't go once

i win

1/2/2008 10:45:00 AM

i always want to use the freeweights but i dont know what the hell im doing or what exercises to use with them, so i just stay away

1/2/2008 12:34:43 PM

sure the odds are against them continuing . . . but any exercise they get in the short term is better than no exercise at all

1/2/2008 1:07:54 PM

1/6/2008 5:27:37 PM

please get off my treadmills, ellipticals, and weights so that I can get my fucking routine done.

1/6/2008 5:30:16 PM

I wasted a whole NO2 buzz waiting for equipment 2 nights ago !!!

1/6/2008 7:29:58 PM

i hate when that happens!

1/6/2008 7:31:04 PM

hahahah too bad no2 does jack shit for you. It's nothing but caffeine and sugar.Do a quick google search. BSN is up against a hell of a lawsuit, right now.
