I thought his speech on ending terror via having Muslim nations driving extremists OUT, was very good.

Really?  You don't care about symmetry and conditioning?

I tend to get fat easily if i dont watch myself.   So for me main focus is avoiding that as being fat and slow and getting winded by even basic physical activity is not fun.

Unless you have some kind of hormone problem, getting fat is primarily about nutrition.  If you take a training break you have to adjust your food intake too, especially as we get older.  Gone are the days when I could eat enough for about four people, lift, go to football practice, and play full court basketball all in the same day.  Even though I still train hard, I'm sitting on my butt for hours at a time.  Now I have to control my diet like a friggin female.

I have the same issue.

Minus the training hard part. I have given that up for a bit now. Although, I do sometimes get the itch again.

Same - for me all about portion control and avoiding sugar and high calorie meals like the plague

Yeah.  Getting old sucks.  I take periodic training brakes to let my body rest, but I'll be lifting till the day I die.

I had a rough winter for working out but definitely get the whole getting old sucks mentality. I`m starting to get back in shape now though, and as lame as it sounds softball season started and it gives me lots of motivation.

Softball is a dangerous sport.  More injuries playing that game than everything else in my life.  But it was fun.

I can see why people get injured w softball.  A lot of jerky motions a lot of dudes are not conditioned for

I've had a few injuries but only minor.
Finding time for me to work out can be tough as well. I have a 5 year old son so I have to wait until he's in bed to hit the weights. Working out at 8 or 9 when I have to be up the next day sucks.

Exactly. Sometimes I wake up early and hit the gym before he wakes up. He is the only reason I invested in a home gym.

I do 1 hour a day - thats it.  I try to stick w HIIT mainly lately - that works best for me.   Avoids need to do seperate cardio.

I didnt do much cardio over the winter. 
Fair weather cardio for me. 
I have an exercise bike, but I barely use it.

Grape knows my workouts - they work pretty damn fast and intense.  Sheds the fat off quickly - while maintaining muscle size

I only get 1 hour to work out lately and i hate cardio and running. 

So its like this

10    6 min sets.   Each is all out and I switch upper body  and lower body 

Lower Body looks like this

1 minute Jump Rope
1 Minute Squats w 135 lbs (20-25 reps)
1 Minute Lunges  or Reverse Lunges   (Or Stiff leg dead lift w a calf raise)
1 Minute  - 15 Leg Curls  / 15 Leg Extensions
1 Minute - Core / Abs   - Sit Ups / Leg Raises / plank / etc
1 Minute rest 

x 10 

Upper Body Day

1 minute Jump Rope
1 Minute bench w 135lb (20-25 reps)
1 Minute Lat pull downs switching grips at 30 sec in  or 1 arm Row w 60lbs
1 minute Military press (Can switch at 30 sec to DB shrugs or other alternative shoulder exercise)
1 Minute Core/Abs - (Hanging leg raises, low plank w reverse crunches, Abs rope crunch, etc.
1 minute Rest. 

x 10 


Again - key is intensity and handling as much weight possible to where at 1 minute or so you are failing and so pumped you have to move to next exercise.  Maybe this is called volume training or whatever - but it works for me. 

Been keeping the core exercises in there to keep lower back healthy.  The 3 minutes of straight weight exercises plenty to get pumped and blood into the area.

The 1 minute of Jump Rope gets your shoulders pumped as well as the calves.
