Are there any parks within walking/jogging distance of you? You could potentially bond with fellow park-goers.

no nearby parks that I'm aware of.  I'm thinking of doing some push ups and stuff in the mornings but I'm so meh in mornings.  main problem really is I lack movitation.

That's my problem too. I'm not morbidly obese so I don't see much reason to excercise most of the time. Once you start though working out feels really good : D

With my new schedule, I am gonna have a hard time finding time to work out. I need to stick with it, but I have no clue when I'll be able to.

 I'm not a fan of gym's.
Working out for the sake of working out seems like kind of a waste. I mean.. I'd rather be working out while doing other things ( if that makes any sense).
That is why I really like living in dowtown Seattle. Doing anything requires at least a bit of a walk.

It's be really nice if my apartment had a pool. I guess they dont have room..or..are too cheap.

Well me and a friend will weight train three days a week. I have soccer two days and one day we will play tennis so we are working out while playing sports but I hardly consider lifting weights working out because it seems so easy ^_^ (you don't get winded easily....unless you are maxing >_>)

I used my stationary bike! (You buy one of these when you're A: lazy and B:sprained your leg a while back and C: live in the rain) I try to watch an episode of anime as my length of time (currently on Slayers NEXT) to keep me distracted.

Then I had a dinner of chicken breast and veggies. And an orange. It was LAME. but the orange was tasty.

...when not whining I feel fairly accomplished about all this. ~_~;;

Best of luck! I should shape up myself. There's this absolutely intense work out video on YouTube called "Quick weight loss workout to help YOU Lose 15 pounds fast". It sounds like a scam, but, man, this workout is so tough. I actually believe that if you follow this guy's routine, you will lose the 15 lbs and seriously tone up if you continue it past that.

Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8AMC2HssMw

Can't remember if it's been said before but multivitamins are a really good idea to add if your working out a bunch. They'll add stuff to help your body recover faster.

sometimes I make soda runs to 7 elevens.  its about 15 minute walk to there.

That's what I used to do when I lived with grandparents in 'not -damned-thing-to-do' town.

The problem is that the sugar in the soda pretty much negates what little exercise you get from the walk.
I know how you feel though, I don't like to go for a walk with no destination.

As far as getting in shape; you know what really haelped me?
Not having two dead kidneys. I tell ya, getting a working made one hell fo a difference.
 So there ya go! Drink a ton of soda till you distroy your kdineys and then get a new one!  You'll feel MUCH better by comparison!

Dislcaimer: Joudanjou..honto, bakani janaiyo. (  I just got out of Japense class..it's addictive.)

As far as sports go, I really enjoy physical activity but none and I mean NONE of my friendss do. It's diffcult to play sports by yourself, I've tried.

I play the Bleach Wii game a lot, ( lame ass friends wont even do THAT!)  if you play it long enough it will give your arms a work out.

yeah I played soccer today and in about two or three hours we are going to go lift more weights. I was really sore after the first time (Monday). I did leg presses, abs, biceps curls, lower back (like reverse crunch), triceps dips.....I think that was about it...I will try to do a little more today but who know what will happen.

You people in school have it easy! :P Try coming home from work after an hour commute, and THEN making yourself exercise!

I tried doing stairs at work (I route interoffice mail 3 times an hour) and I didn't think that 2 flights of stairs 3 times an hour would make me......utterly exhausted? O_< But I seem to be getting over that now. (Even though nothing says classy like walking by clients while trying not to gasp up a lung!)

Yes, and if I didn't get up at 6am already that would seem a lot more attractive. ^ - ~ I am NOT a morning person. 6pm is a lame time to work out, but it's better than 6am!

well then, I should have posted in here a while ago, even though I'm not going to sakuracon.

I am however trying to lose weight for Kumoricon '09. I know I've got tons of time but It's kind of hard for me to lose weight. I have a horrible addiction to sweets(but don't we all? XD) I also want to gain some muscle since I'm a bit weak in the arms and squishy in the thighs. heh so I'm trying to do as much as I can like cut down on some foods, walk more, and try to exercise in various ways.

alright I did a lot of ab stuff yesterday and today (after about a year or two) my stomach is kinda sore XD

I did like 200 crunches with weights.....100 with 50 lbs and 100 with 30 lbs and 100 obliques (no weights)

So if I bump it up a little more I really should feel it XD

my apartment complex revamped its workout room, and now has an elliptical! I think I'm excited about this, but I've never used one.

also, all the running etc. machines face a window which SOUNDS good until you realize that outside that window is a pond....and after that pond (about 30 feet away) is people's apartments.
