What would you say to a middle aged guy who hated PE in school and now wonders about joining a gym.
Later in the fall. Now, I am biking (mostly) up to 20 miles a day when schedule and weather allows
But in Michigan, that will come to a screeching halt roughly around Thanksgiving, give or take a few weeks due to weather (specifically snow and ice making it unsafe).
And, wondering if, and thinking should, I should do more than just biking, which is a cardio workout. Think I should learn to do strength training as well.
Gyms -- what can you tell me. I know they vary, but thinking something like an LA Fitness -- is that really about health, not a pickup joint? I would be embarrassed at first, but think I could cope. And I think maybe some initial professional help would be good from a trainer or exercise physiologist?
Hmmm.
Something tells me that Dennis in Michigan doesn't really need to worry about being picked up.

2. Hi Denninmi
A few questions:
Born in the 60ties?
MBX or RR?
What are you goals?
In what ways are you concerned about health?
Insulin resistance?
Overweight?

3. Hi
Yes 1965.
Mountain bike but just riding pavement.
Need to lose 38 more pounds now to get to my prior thin healthy weight.
A1C was just done is normal albeit higher side of normal.
Would be great to lose weight develop strength and endurance and look good again in levis and tshirts.
Sorry reply brief hard to type on iPod. LOL
And then at the end, this most curious thing:
foghat rules This message was hidden by Jury decision.
One wonders what the foghorn primitive said that was offensive.
-
I was born in 1966, I don't want to be "middle aged". :bawl:
-
Is DUmmie on disability? ....and foodstamps? ....and Medicaid? ....and etc.?

If you visit the DUmp's boobyhatch forum, you'll find DUmmy Denninmi is a mainstay, a certified nut.

Only on DU does joining a gym cause this much drama. A normal person looks around, gets a free week trial at a gym that looks interesting, then signs up.
-

Foghorn called him a sissy (not that word, specifically) for not venturing out year-round.

Sorry dear but according to Allen King, you're past middle age.
"33, that's middle age. Who the hell do you know that's a 100?", Allen King.
-
You are not middle aged, dear. You are perfect.
:wink:
-
Who cares if the DUmmy hated P.E. in school? What does that have to do with joining a gym 20-30 years later? Geez, DUmmies have to over-think every damn decision.

Uh huh, and that's really recent too.
He started hanging around there after it was suggested franksolich be his literary mentor and agent.
I dunno why it drove him nuts, though; I thought it was a good idea.

It apparently thinks people paying for a private membership will give him swirlies in the locker room and pants him when he's on the treadmill. :whatever:

I graduated in 1966, I guess I know what that makes me...old?

Thanks, sir.
I was trying to figure out what possibly could be offensive in the exercise forum.

My grandma is 98. :p

I love you. :-)

Love you, too.

1965 here and I got the same opinion BEG. Daggone it where did those 20 years go? Seems like they went by in the blink of an eye and one day I woke up and I am pushing 50. :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:
Now I'm depressed. :censored:

I always look at people who were born around the same time I was to gauge how I'm aging. I pretend I look as good as Cindy Crawford. :p
Although I watched October Baby this afternoon on pay per view and Jasmine Guy was in it, she isn't aging very well. I'll just keep saying to myself, Cindy Crawford, Cindy Crawford...

I am back to a size 32 after years of being a 38 thanks to grinding poverty. Truth be told I can wear 30's now but it kind of freaks me out.
That aside, to be honest all you need to do is eat less and move more. Before life hit the fan I went to the gym five days a week and Krav Maga classes twice a week and the weight never moved much. But now that I have to decide on one meal a day or two and working in a small hardware store that keeps me moving I actually look like I did in my mid 20's ( from the neck down ).
I miss food but DAMN I am looking pretty good. :wink:
-
I'm comfortable at 42. I don't feel like stressing over it since my weight hasn't changed in over ten years.
I'm happy being fat.
-
Now, I am biking (mostly) up to 20 miles a day when schedule and weather allows...
He rides a mountain bike on pavement 20 miles a day and needs to lose 40 more pounds and is afraid to join a gym?
Hmmm...

You look better, milady. :-*
I'm a year ahead of you, but The Heiress has me feeling young.

Zero bongs.

Work out at home and save the monthly membership fees. Buy a stationary bike for your house. I know, the scenery isn't the same as actually going out to ride your bike. But that's your own fault for living where it snows. ;)

The veiled message the primitive is trying to send leads me to believe his first day at the gym would be composed of about 20 bicep curls with some 5 pound free-weights followed by stationing himself in front of the women's locker room looking like this:

So the dude who got hidden called Denninmi a *****? He is a *****. Look how many of us thought he was a woman for years.
-
Well what is clear is that the government should pay for this pig's gym membership.

Make yourself a goal of staying here until you are 140, which puts you now in your first trimester. If you don't make 140, tell people you changed your mind.
My goal of 140 is such that with my birthday next week I will be at the middle-aged point, but still healthy enough to have an impure thought from time to time.

Not only that, but a near-grasswire sort of old lady.

Being a ***** is the least of this DUmmy's problems.
He starts half the threads in the DUmp's boobyhatch forum, continually describing his insanity in embarrassing detail.
His latest affliction: Uncontrollable impulsive spending, to the point of impending bankruptcy.
