gym deal

[wyteboy]

I made a promise to myself if I got a hookah that I would also start going back to the gym, haven't been to the gym in like 7 months once it got so friggin cold and snowy here...so I am proud to announce that Monday will be my first day back at the gym since October!

[NERV]

my gym is my garage, ive got some free weights, a punching bag, a speed
bag, a jumprope, a DDR mat and leg weights and eliptical, i have never
touched the jumprope, didnt even kno i had it until a week ago, havent
touched the eliptical in over a year, same with the free weights, the
punching/speed bag is currently disassmbled, and i havent used the DDR
mat in like 6 months, i wanna get back into the DDR tho, i was in
awesome shape when i was using that, i cud go for hours on heavy
without getting tired, id oubt i could even complete one heavy session
right now

Yeah, I was sort of wondering what the hookah is doing to my lungs and my stamina, seeing as how I smoke 5-6 times per week, even though taking deep hits seems to help stretch your lungs out and thus help, but here at school we have racquetball courts and I've been playing 5 times a week and haven't noticed any side effects from smoking so much.
Just curious, what type of gym activities will you be doing? Will you be lifting to gain muscle mass, or toning? Or are you just trying to loose some weight? I myself am already a big guy at 6'3", 240 pounds, so I'm just sticking to cardio for now with racquetball. Maybe after I loose a little more weight I wanna start toning.
Whatever you do, stick with it Wyteboy!

Woah! What strange timing!

 I just played DDR for the first time last week and I've been
hooked ever since. I've been to the arcade twice since then (spending
about $10 a time) and I'm slowly getting better. I finally completed
"Butterfly" on Lite the last time I went which I couldnt even dream of
doing earlier in the week.
  Its taking lots of practice but I think I'm more addicted to DDR than I have ever been to anything in my life.

I finally decided that I absolutely must buy a PS2, DDRMax2 and
Extreme, and a Level Six brand Ignition pad. Eventually I want to get a
Cobalt Flux pad but it's going to take a while to save up the $300 +
$40 shipping it costs to buy one. So in the meantime a $40 Level Six
pad will do just fine. I hear they work a lot better and are more
durable than the $100 Red Octane Ignition pads so they seem like the
best pad to buy for the time being.



Fortunately today was my first day working a new job so I finally have
the money coming in to buy all this stuff.  Man...between chipping
in on rent and utilities, the hookah hobby, and my recent addiction to
DDR life is starting to get expensive



But yah, if you ever wanna talk about DDR or have any tips on things I should learn feel free to message me.

i got 2 metal pads they are much betetr than the soft pads, they seem
to break more often but they are easy to fix, just that the constant
stomping loosens connections, ive never had a problem with the metal
mat i cudnt fix, and the soft mats are worthless for heavy, a year ago
i was able to beat Max 300 on heavy, never got a B or an A on it but i
passed it with a C

oh and my main tip would be once you have the rythm down move up to
difficulty that you cant do, if you get too set into light itll be even
harder to progress, i didnt know that and it took me like 2 months to
master the 1/16 beat cuz i was so used to the 1/4 and 1/8

Hey great to hear. I'm also going to the gym now but for a different
reason. In 25 days i'll be leaving for boot camp (Navy) so I have to
start doing some last minute conditioning. Hookah sure got to my lungs
though lol

[mushrat]

*sigh* i must be getting old...I only had a very vague idea what the heck they were talking about. Ended up having to look it up....

[cypress]

Yea, I am going to get back to working out. I bought free weight gym
set and now I am going to get back to eating right, working out, and
try not to inhale when smoke the hookah. I dont know how succesful the
inhaling part is going to be but I need to get back into shape. 

[wyteboy]

i'll start slowly on some free weights and do the treadmill for like 35-45 mins every time I go.  Tomorrow it is.......yikes!
