Why does "training for basic fitness" suck ?

[Ken Fresno]

Yes, I should have specified so he didn't go sprint up a mountain right after he read it.

Perhaps you should give him an alternative plan, as nobody else answered.

If i was going to give him a plan I'd probably recommend cycling and swimming for basic fitness. Also throw in a couple sessions of pull ups/press ups/squats.

I wasn't getting at you, Ive stole a couple of your workouts from your thread on the Y board. I just don't think moving with weight is particularly good for the body, esp when youre getting on a bit.

Navy Mike tattoo worthy response.

Did he really call him the "ice nine" of suckiness?  Wow, a Kurt Vonnegut reference.  I suspect this was cut and pasted from some where's else.

Why don't you take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.

Good point on the cycling....that's probably the least stressful on the joints more than anything.  For some reason I didn't even think about it, and it's probably a better suggestion.

But the real intent was to gain howard's trust and eventually send him off somewhere where a bear would eat him.

It doesn't necessarily suck.  Depends who is doing it and why.  In your case, yes, it would suck.  But not because it sucks for your situation.  It's because you suck, and you suck so bad that things which were perfectly fine prior to your arrival become sucky as a consequence of your involvement.  Anything you touch will suck.  All of the downside of the Midas Touch and none of the gold.  You are the ice nine of suckiness.  I put on a full hazmat suit before opening this thread and still got a charlie horse.  I hope you appreciate the risk we're taking here.

That was hilarious

This
Howard could be cruising beautiful coastline in a lambo getting blown by the finest whore on earth and even that would suck because it's howard doing it

LOL !!!

Bodybuilding has gradually increased it's level of sucking for the past 20 yrs, thus, I may have a shot.
Think about it like this :
If anything I do sucks by default, then entering something that already sucks should be a perfect fit.

No, you.

LOL nice edit

Rucking is easy on the joints, low impact and torches calories.  You can do it on a treadmill, but that eliminates the outdoors and also can be tough on the joints.   Throw on headphones, a podcast or music and it's enjoyable.  My favorite ones are when the sky is clear, night time, and cold......good way to decompress.

I appreciate the solid suggestion , thanks !

I was tired last night and feel the need to clarify my goals/needs.
Doing ANY fitness program without a competition goal is my real problem.

It's always better ( for me) to be in the arena , then watching from the sidelines.
Doing my best and losing is 100x better then watching ( for me).

Thanks again.

Walking fast is too easy for you so you need a 40% incline? Sounds awful hard on your aging Achilles tendon.

Try this walking routine and tell me how easy it is. Most treadmills in the US show an electronic track showing 440 yards or a quarter mile. Some US treadmills instead of a track will show .25 as being a quarter mile. Start walking at zero grade or level ground at 3.8 MPH.  This is a brisk walk. After completing one lap. Raise the incline 1%. Complete that second lap and then raise it to 2%. Keep that sequence up with each lap increasing 1%. If you go from level to 14% grade one lap at a time with 1% increase you will be in good cardio shape. Good enough to start a  running program. 

One of the reason steroid users hate fitness is because without the drug assist they are stuck with real reality of their limitations. It's easy to syringe and make drastic gains in 6 weeks. What's hard is doing an athletic work routine.

Great suggestion and thanks for the input.
BUT, your cardio routine is very similar to what I'm currently doing now.
I NEED some form of competitive end game to feel motivated.

I  need to bite the bullet, diet hard and for better or worse, do the masters nationals this July.
I've always wanted to do that BUT ended up talking myself out of it for many  years .
It may not be sensible, but it's where my real passion lies.

Yup, you got me. I'm like the town slut that makes the rounds at the various bars and clubs.

The hope is, if I'm cycling some 16 wheeler might run me over.
I don't swim  well, so this might cause me to drown. win/win

Hmmm, I'm not going to follow your advice on what to post Wes.

Hope this helps the thread.

I suspect training for fitness is the way to good health. Problem is that this is not progressive weight training. Most of us try to make improvements as we go along....either buy upping the resistance or the number of reps.

Fitness training calls for progression in stamina, strength, endurance, etc.

Soo-prise, suprise, suprise!  So you study up, practice, and improve.  Swimming is where it's at.

Just don't think about the urine.
