Today not only did i work out for 30 minutes and i was dead tired from lifting weights, I walked home from my community college in the summer heat for 3 miles because my mom or sister could not pick me up.

I was walking up hills, beside busy roads with no sidewalks and it was harder because i was already tired from my normal workout.

But i also walked for 10 miles along time ago when i was in boy scouts. But i dont remember that quite as well.

Climbed Ben Lomand while very ill.

Only realised how bad I was when I was half way up.

 

[CruddyLeper]

Mixed yoghurt in half ton containers and custard in 3/4 ton containers.

By hand. Boy that job was tough.

Noisy as well - metal vats, metal mixers. Sounded like the bells of hell with a couple of dozen blokes at work.

me, just saturday when i went i had to go to this one place in the morning..

except i dint know exactly where it was...taht night i did not go to sleep and played basketball alot so i was tired...

anyway i get on the bus, which i walked a mile around 6 something in the morning to get there, and it made an unexpected turn, i didnt know route, so i got off at the nearest stop..

then i take train to a stop near the location i was going...

except with the train i was even farther away so i walked 2 miles to get there from the trains stop...

afterwards i was ready to head home...i realized i was on the right bus earlier...i decide to take it again on the way home... since i am not familiar with this part of the city i didnt want to fall asleep or miss my stop... i didnt have change to pay for another ride..just like $20 bill

so i thought i recoginized my stop so i got off...except this was nearl 3 miles away from my house and so i just walked in instead of paying another $2

a bus one way or train one way costs $2 thats expensive

I usually run 6 miles about 5 days a week. The more exercise you do, the easier it becomes. It's a great feeling, too. A good way to unwind.

In the army I did a 15-mile trek, carrying a light machine-gun (no, it wasn't very light - about 10 kg's) and a landmine (it was actually just a "placeholder", weighing about 8 kg's).

Well im only used to lifting weights and even then the most i can do is about 45 minutes before i feel absolutely exhuasted.

 

[Spartan117]

yea but these neighborhoods arent exactly comforting neighborhoods.. i would perfer not to walk around in

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Probably an uphill walk I did a few years ago.

 

[Tycoon101]

0:30 minutes of wrestling.

1:30 hours of drills

0:30 minutes of wall sits

40 sprints

0:10 minutes of necks bridges.

Yep, that was an amazingly hard workout. The neck bridges nearly broke our spines, and then we had to get up and run. The resulting rush was NOT pretty.

A 2 hour sex episode. My bodie hurt for days after. My stomach hurt for even longer. Thats a work out I could do everday.

Oh sure, lifting is entirely different. Eventually you will just work your muscles to the breaking point in one workout. As you probably know the results are slowly gradual. Cardiovascular always struck me as easier. Also, you don't need to work to that point of collapse/exhaustion in order to get benefits from cardio work. With weights, if you can do a bicep curl with a 30 pound weight with relative ease, then doing ten reps of curls isn't going to get you the gains that straining to do it with a 45 pound weight.

I don't lift as much as I used to, but when I did, like you, I rarely went for more than 30-40 minutes (depending on how fast I went between exercises/chatting with the people I workout with).

I actually do use 30 pound weights for bicep curls. But i doubt i could even lift the 45 weight up to my chest when doing curls.

I actually got to a point where its hard to do what im on, but i cant go past it.

Walking holiday in the Lake district. Walked up Scaffel pike a sort of mound masquerading as a mountain, that was fairly easy, although it was pretty steep. It was the walking from 8AM to 10PM that did it, over hill and tumbling at some points down dale. My friends went ahead after Skaffel as I had blisters on my feet and wanted to rest them, in fact, if I can digress, I had blisters for a week and lots of them, and it was agony but I managed to stay with the group by sheer persistence, and by walking down hill, vey painfull, agony in fact and sometimes running up hill, not painfull, god know's why, probably the extra impact of the gravity of downhill travel. (blisters caused by crappy army boots that were practically like walking on stone, army replaced them because of there tendancy to promote blisters apparently(tip: surgical spirit on the feet toughens them up, helps the blisters harden, hurts a bit on open blisters though))

Anyway that last day was somewhat irritating as I was supposed to meet them at a rendezvous point but they got lost and I ended up ahead of them(bad map reading on their part) I walked till ten and got a lift for a few miles from someone who recognised me from the days camp site, then stumbled the remaining mile into town where we were meant to meet.

They had the tent I had the tent pegs, so I had to sleep rough in a farmers field overnight, good sleeping bag though kept me warm, my sheer exhaustion meant I slept like a babe. Woke up the next morning and waited all day in town for them; they turned up at about 2pm looking shocked I'd made it ahead, they'd contacted the police believing I was missing, but I figured as we were going home the next day I could just wait at our village rendez-vous point. Anyway the whole week was a gruelling experience, taught me alot about how to deal with pain and exhaustion. in the end the trip was a sort of satisfying end to 11 days of fun, in fact I've missed out some great anecdotes, but it would be OT.

EDIT: Oh I recommend the Lake district for walking, that and the scottish hills, great scenery although Scotland takes it for scenery.

I remember one day of cross country we did our normal warm up (800 meters jog, stretching, sit ups, pushups, form drills), and then took a 20 minutes run through the woods at a pretty brisk pace. This run came to the sand hills behind the school. So we ran up and down these hills of sand(probably on average 20-25 feet high and very steep) for 20 minutes. Then we went to the far back of the sand pits and there were the horseshoes. Basically, a long, steep, uphill loop and back down. We did 4 sets of 3 (and believe me, this is incredibly hard. I'm talking maybe 70-90 feet up, steep and slippery sand) with 2 minute breaks in between. Then we went back to the track and did 3 800's at a quick pace.

The only thing I can think of that could compare were the XC days of something like Mile-Mile-800-800-800-400-400. With only like a lap of walking rest. Or from Winter track, in the freezing cold, doing the 14 200's at something like 34 seconds. Distance had it worse though. One day they did 10 400's. At times that went as low as 64 seconds. And this is probably at 15 degrees.

Lifting weights does not really tire me. Maybe I don't do enough.

I played roller hockey for 7 hours straight coming off of a 4 hour morning work shift.

I failed to move around much the following day.

 

[Spartan117]

[Red Door]

Doing a 10k, 5k, 2k, and 1k on an ergometer (rowing machine) in that order. 15 minute breaks between each one. I couldn't move my body after that.

And which TV show is this?
