Does the congress work out?

[Ellendesu]

Well,

Do you guys hit the gym? Work out at home? How often? What are you workouts like?

Me? I work out 6 days a week now, 45 minutes at a time, alternating exercise types each day, but I try to work my abs every day if possible.

If anyone else does it, I'll gladly share my workout with you guys, but I gotta go take a shower now, peace.

No, unless Wii Sports counts. And I'm not fat, I'm quite athletic actually. The only reason I would have to workout is to be stronger, but I'm too busy playing games and lurking 4chan. =P

You'd be surprised how many channers are actually really fit attractive people, I head over to the /ana/ or /fit/ boards on 420 or 7 once in awhile and I'm like "Well shit!"

Chansluts is good too, of course. Just not as popular for reasons I have yet to understand.

I work out when I get the time (which is once in never). I'm buried in schoolwork, a job, and stuff at home.

[EnsignRyusei]

I'v done it a few times now, but I'v ben quite bussy lately and i have pretty late times for school and work, so i'd probably only be able to regularly go each Saturday

Let's see I run 2 miles on TTh, and on MWF I do weights plus run 1 mile.

[Cashino]

Rarely willingly, although I walk extremely fast when I do (which is mostly when I go out to buy a game...usually once every month or so, depending on what's interesting). My standard walk speed is about 5 miles per hour.

I have to admit,I'm a lazy guy.I'm trying to change.Cuz yeah,I got a bit fat and I feel weak.I need to get a better shape and in better health.

[tsar]

With the exception of ~50-60 push-ups a day, no. I don't care enough to do it. I'm fine with how I am and maintaining works for me.

If I notice myself being seriously hindered by increased weight, then I'll consider stepping it up. I've been trying to eat better, however. I think that's a bit more important as far as people troubled with weight issues.

[tetsaru arigashi]

I admit, I don't work out (and I DO have a bit of a gut); however, I tend to walk a lot since I don't have a vehicle (yet).  I really hate the fact that some meds I took for depression increased my appetite and made me gain about 20 pounds that I haven't gotten off yet...  >_<

Also, I can't help the fact that I've been a picky eater all my life.  I hardly ever eat veggies or fruits... I'm more of a meat-and-potatoes guy.  That, and I snack a lot...

College marching band practice with a bass drum strapped to your chest in 100-degree weather makes a pretty good workout though.  :3

Food is'nt helping yeah...With all the fast-food restaurant all around,supermarket selling junk food...and not everyone like to cook.I suppose even if you eat fast-food,but do a good work out,you can be in good shape.

Actually, theres so much bad stuff in fast food, it doesn't make much difference, you have to look beyond the calories, look at fat and sugar too, especially saturated fats (We get so hung up on trans fat, which is bad, that we forget about saturated fats, which are just as bad) If you want a burger that bad, go to a decent diner and order one there, might take a little longer, but think of what you're NOT eating.

Anti-Depressants are REALLY good at making you eat more, I take Xanax, luckily it doesn't interfere with me too much. Tetsaru, if you're willing to make a change, just make slight little changes, and you'll see welcome results.

-You're an otaku, I know how it goes, you spend a lot on anime and manga and stuff and you're hungry, so you opt for cheap and easy food, but you can do better than fast food. Instant oatmeal for example, caution the ramen though, its FULL of sodium.

- Diet soda is not your friend, you mentally think since you haven't taken in the calories from normal soda,you can eat a little more. Dangerous mindset. Avoid soda, and avoid juice that contains high fructose corn syrup.

- Snack on some fruit or vegetables when you get a craving, and drink a LOT of water.

- Try walking to class if its possible, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to lunch/dinner etc., take a minute between loading screens of games to do some sit ups or push ups, do crunches while you watch TV, leg lifts while you're playing video games or on the computer, little things can add up man.

Hope thats helpful!

All of these are excellent suggestions.  Also if you can get in the habit of taking 30 mins out of your day to be active (whether it be working out, running or some other sport) you will start staving over weight gain and probably start losing weight.

[Nitorin]

Good suggestions.About the ramen its so damn true! I was eating to much ramen wich is not good for the heart at all.I had to much salt in the body...

You fucking commie >=(

Anyways, i used to work out three times a week an hour after school then I just stopped for random reasons.  Too fucking time-consuming.  So little time.  So tired after work.  I usually just go home right after work and end up sleeping eleven hours.  I go to sleep on Sunday, wake up on Friday.  Don't have fucking time for working out.  Used to have one of those fucking workout machines advertised by Chuck Norris whatever the fuck it was called.  Pain in the fucking ass.  Nothing like real free weights.  Had some barbells at home but they were a monstrous pain in the fucking ass so i disassembled them and stashed them somewhere deep and dark next to the ten year old girl skeletons in my basement.  Then there was that whole DDR Exercise mode 1x daily thing I had going on.  Guess how long that lasted.  Not very long.  I've just given up and said fuck it I'm basically an animate pile of fatty meat so might as well just work, eat, and sleep.  Not even sure if I excrete waste anymore, it probably happens while I sleepwalk.

Plus I'm a BBW only I have a penis instead of a vagina.  The asian women would love me, now I just need to move to fucking Japan and join a sumo wrestling league and I'd have all the goddamn women.

By the way those fucking sumo wrestlers are crazy.  They fucking weight train for five hours a day THE SECOND THEY WAKE UP.  Plus they eat something like 20,000 calories per day.  What the fuck is that shit.
