Doing weights is the best thing you can do for weight loss tho.

I thought that was gaining muscle which is something I don't really care for

Pfft fernwood. You dont wanna go there with those dumb bitches.

Lol why not

For me I'd much rather just use a treadmill gradually faster and on incline until I can run a certain amount without feeling like I'm gonna pass out. Don't really care for the other stuff so surely I'm better to just buy myself a tready

Looks great! 24 hr access which is what you want. Lots of facilities and services and classes. Looks like it has everything except a pool- but of course youd need to go to a leisure centre for that.

If you do weights, at rest you burn more fat, compared if you just do cardio.

It has alot to do with the reps/sets/weight you do too. phantom13 care to elaborate.

I thought being a male, you'd want to build up a little muscle at least.

And Fernwood is just over priced crap. Srsly over priced, I almost laughed at the prices they showed me when I went there many years ago.

I've trained in gyms with men since I was 21. Never had an issue, except once.

 

[Shell]

But yeah anyway, you should get a consultation, a program and even some free PT sessions chucked in when you join.

So they would go through everything with you, what you want to achieve, etc etc.

And of course give you a tour, show you how to use everything properly.

I have literally zero interest in muscle until I am satisfied with what I want. If I ever feel satisfied with myself then I'm cool.

But even then this stuff can be bought and used at home. Prefer not to go to a gym unless it's like 1am

I think the gym here is $17 a week.

When I get around to it I'm just gonna buy a barbell with a few plates just to do some light lifting to supplement the swimming.

Well you just tell that to the trainers at the gym and they'll be able to sort you out/make a program that suits you.

Women are generally in fear of "bulking" up- when I did my Cert III our instructors told us there is literally zero chance of that happening, as we dont have the testosterone in us to do that. Unless you take extra shit, then you bulk up. I love doing weights... actually i need to go to the gym today if i can be arsed lol.

I guess some guys are like that... my friend's fiance is skinny as a rake. He obviously is cool with that (and so is my friend) but im sorry i could not find that body type less sexually attractive if I tried. Just. No.

What makes a dude pushing 120 any better than a 75kg rake?

no way is 75kg considered 'rake' territory.

Depends on your height man. For me a rake is around 60 since I'm just above Caleb Daniel height

 

[Shell]

Exactly depends on height.

Ive only been attracted to one skinny guy (was v tall too) but we just had this amazing chemistry and banter so i could easily overlook that

At the pool yesterday, wtf is it with kids these days.

"What's that?"
"Umm, short flippers."
"What's that?"
"Hand paddles."
"What about that?"
"A kickboard.."
"Why do you have sunscreen still on your face?"
"It's zinc cream, you don't know what that is?"
"Umm.."

The paddles look a bit odd ok but the rest.

 

[Shell]

Flippers are awesome

 

[Kram]

Hand paddles are good for adding resistance but particularly sharpening freestyle technique by really exaggerating the feel/catch of the water.

Shouldn't use either them or flippers too much though.

Yeah i agree it is tasty, i love Vanilla coke I could drink it every day.

But I dont

I don't think that I have ever had a drink of coke a, of any flavour . Or Red Rooster, Kentucky Fried....

Napping is the ****ing greatest

IRS isn't totally boring but it's something you'd chuck on the tv in the background and pay partial attention to...

Winning by 1 at halfie

 

[Shell]

Yeah I tried Deep

I just could not.

Am watching ch 10 news now.

 

[Shell]

How's that news about Jelena Dokic's father.

Cannot believe people just stood around and did nothing. Surely someone in the tennis world knew what was going on. Disgrace really.

 

[GeelongFTW]

who?
