Are you a health nut? Do you take vitamins, minerals, and other health approved supplements to help cut body fat and weight down? Do you take them to tone and and bulk up? Do you like to workout? Are you a sprinter, cross country runner, or track star of some sort? Do you like pumping iron? Are you a boxer? Do you often play sports? If so, what kind of routines and training regiments do you stick to? Discuss it here.
I currently take a mulit-vitamin every morning (One A Day is the brand) and lift weights every other day. On the days I don't lift I usually do some cardio or ab related workouts.
In high school I used to be pretty active. I was on the weight lifting team for three years in a row (I quit senior year so I could enjoy myself more and pursue other things). I used to drink protein shakes and all that to bulk up and I worked out everyday. I would work out during gym class (we had a weight room and a track) during school, and for about another hour after school (inside the same weight room). Alternating between days I also was big into breakdancing so I had days where I went to the local rec center and used the dance room to practice.Â
Man I miss those days. 4 years of slacking off and college and I got lazy. Trying to get back into shape.
Today was a hard day of cross country. :P We did speedwork although to me it was easier: we ran a 1000m at a track field, then four 400m's, four 300m's, and finally a 1000m
Oddly enough, I do take a couple vitamin tablets and a fiber tablet each day. Considering my diet and nonexistant exercise routine you'd think I wouldn't be a vitamin junkie, but I am.
i try to take vitamin pills, but it is hard to remember :(ZeldaRocks9
I have an almost OCD morning routine, so it's carved in my memory to take them.In fact, my memory in general is kind of scary.... I guess that's good but it scares people at times.

if i started to do it for a while i would remember, but since i don't, i can't seem to remember :(

That is certainly a conundrum. You could always leave yourself sticky notes, at the risk of appearing helplessly mad to whomever you share the house with.

Mine are on top of the refrigerator so that in the morning when I go to get a drink or breakfast I notice them and take them.

Which is arguably a more insane ritual than leaving them up in the first place. :lol:
Yes, you would think they would be in the medicine cabinet or even in my bedroom, or in a cupboard of sorts with similar substances. Putting them in a place that seems obviously out of place serves the purpose of taking notice to them and knowing exactly where they are; as opposed to passing them by while browsing through a cupboard.

She should make you take vitamin D. Btw I should do that too Like I said before, I take a mulit-vitamin everday. Smart. I definitly need vitamin D during the winter here. That's a nationwide problem, lack of vitamin D
[QUOTE="horgen123"] Smart. I definitly need vitamin D during the winter here. That's a nationwide problem, lack of vitamin Dworthyofnote
Yep, so whatever I don't get from my regular meals and drinks throughout the day I get from the daily vitamins. Do they cost much? Here they are expensive :(

Yep, so whatever I don't get from my regular meals and drinks throughout the day I get from the daily vitamins. Do they cost much? Here they are expensive :( Not really. It depends on where you buy them, the brand, and the size of the bottle. Most places sell a bottle of 100 capsules or so from anywhere of 15 dollars to 40 dollars depending on the brand and the place you would buy it from.

[QUOTE="msudude211"] It's almost time to do my daily weightlifting... ugh. horgen123
Just got home from the gym. :P I try to get back in a habit now of going to the gym 3 times a week and jog 2-3 times. That's pretty good. I lift four or five times a week.

[QUOTE="msudude211"] Oh yah, much easier said than done, especially when I try to work out in the morning before school. I could never do that. I like to work out in the evening for some reason. Makes it easier for me to sleep.

[QUOTE="msudude211"] Ah, okay. If I work out too close to bed, I get too warm and I can't sleep. I need a few hours of relaxing between workout and sleep, but going to the gym 7 pm, getting home again around 0830pm then go to bed between 1030 and 1100 pm works great for me.
Had an easy workout session today. Did some work earlier today and have my job later so I didn't feel like maxing out. horgen123
Work lately has me not wanting to work out at home. I'm always getting a good workout there with all of the lifting and carrying and general manual labor.

My job isn't like most jobs where the requirement may be that you must be able to lift objects weighing up to 50lbs (or about 23kg in your case). I have to be able to lift 100lbs and up if need be.

The heaviest object we get in weighs 25Kg I think, but juice come in packages weighing 15 KG... I like to take 2-3 of those :P

If it's too heavy I just use a tow motor/fork lift and move it. I like it getting a bit heavy sometimes. And we use no extra help for the little things here. Is it too heavy for you, you ask another person to help you. But that never happens.
