Exercises you do at home

[TheLordOfChaos201]

What exercises can you do at home?

I try stretches and squares but once those muscles have already been exercised they don't get any better there after. I recently started doing chair pose against a wall for my back and side muscles because I work on a construction site. I've also started doing those arm push ups facing backwards against a chair, they work out the back and arms.

what exercises do you do at home and why?

Oh and I want trade secrets. my exercise rituals are cold showers every day and a glass of milk and a segment of garlic every 4 nights

 

[WhiteFang]

Does stretching for my cup of coffee count?

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

uhm... not really white fang. well no, just no. stretches are good for before and after a work out, so that works I guess... kind of... well not really but sort of

 

[WhiteFang]

uhm,how about running to the kettle to make coffee,then walking back?

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

ok I give in, it does count as exercise. besides I can only exercise when watching episodes of Naruto or when frustrated.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I'm learning to walk with my hands. Pretty hard actually.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

what are your secrets, I mean walking on your hands isn't easy

 

[Razosh]

Whenever my nose scratches I usually itch it with my leg partly because my hands are often stuffed with books and partly because I love the feeling of my leg hair against my face. Anyhow I used to be barely able to move my leg to my nose now I can put it all the way behind my head so that's awesome for flexibility I guess.


If you want tips on muscles though I might not be a prime example as I'm 1,8 and weigh 58 kg. (6ft and 128 pounds.)

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

wow that's super flexible but flexibility has its down sides... you can't lift heavy weights without the greater chance of dislocating something.

I know this because my left arm is flexible and often dislocats

 

[WhiteFang]

I can put it all the way behind my head

Heh,me too

 

[Aeroblyctos]

what are your secrets, I mean walking on your hands isn't easy

Strong arms and and good balance!

You don't have to tell me on queue I can move my femurs out of joint slight, a tip is don't don't that while walking it looks bizarre as fuck as your entire leg shifts and you'll loose balance completely in your legs. I haven't tried yet though I can assume that doing that while moving down a stairway could prove fatal.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

Ha ha fatal, aaa you guys crack me up.

I've lifted 70kgs with a single body part before, I won't say which because it would get me banned.

 

[Razosh]

I've lifted 70kgs with a single body part before, I won't say which because it would get me banned.

Nice the maximum I've gotten up to is lifting a ten set of 130 kg with both my legs.

Ha ha fatal, aaa you guys crack me up.

Well as I said, I am a guy who enjoys stroking his face with his leg hair, my sanity has never been quite intact.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

no I get the leg facial stroke thing. I like a bunch off odd things.

I like having something warm between my legs, which just sounds creepy, and I like placing the back of my thumb on the cliff of my lip.

these things just make us feel good without any explanations what so ever.

 

[Razosh]

Never try to drag your teeth through wool, that is the stuff of nightmares.

 

[BloodDrunk]

what are your secrets, I mean walking on your hands isn't easy

The secret is to learn to first have a control while standing on arms. When you are able to do straight handstand at first try, then you can move on to walking on your hands.
You need quite strong core and shoulders to be able to walk properly, not fall-walk like a maniac and end up destroying yourself
Lean just a liiiitle bit forward and try moving your arms forward as you're leaning. After couple of tries, you will get the hang of it

 

[Deleted member 238226]

hmm...

scratching my butt??

 

[Dr Super Good]

I practice QWERT hotkeys and moving my mouse around accurately. One can never play well enough!

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

I guess a gaming community is the wrong place to ask for exercise stuff, still! no one has some extreme gamers work out routine?

 

[WhiteFang]

Making coffee can be a workout....

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

depends on how heavy the can is or how many kgs a bag of coffee beans weigh

 

[Orcnet]

I tried the One Punch Man exercise once, I almost died.

 

[Chaosy]

What exercises can you do at home?

I don't.

I have not exercised properly in 6 years when I quit football. I wont ever exercise by any other means because it's simply boring as fuck.

I tried the One Punch Man exercise once, I almost died

Wasn't that like 100 of pretty much everything, everyday?
(I have not watched that anime, just seen talk about it)

 

[DD Mikasa]

I don't need to train at home...Cuz my boxing coach makes sure that i got no more energy in me after i leave gym. :|

 

[BlackEnvyX]

I'm in decent shape (6 " 3, 155 pounds) but I almost never exercise. I'm trying to change that so I started going on daily walks but at home I mostly do push ups and crunches.

 

[Celaquil]

I've heard typing is good finger exercise.

On a serious note, though, don't do home exercises, most of the time you'll do things
wrong, and by extension make things worse, or you'll get no benefit from it.

I'd actually suggest taking up martial arts, especially the beginners classes and every
sort of class that isn't exclusively sparring. Because for one, they'll teach you how to
do the exercise properly, and secondly, they'll keep you motivated.

Other than that, believe it or not, climbing is actually a pretty damn good way of
stabilizing your muscles, that or swimming. Both are amazing in this regard.

Read guides online and do exercises right way?
Just like, you know, I do.

 

[Roland]

Finger Typing, Butt-scratching & Cat/Dog-Huffing is my Exercise.

 

[Blightsower]

When u say exercises does it mean physical? Right now only my fingers are exercising, u know hehe.

 

[Cherrymage]

I will go and hide in---- Better not to say here, or else I will get into trouble.

you know this thread was never truly answered. I wonder if it's because most hivers are super fat and lazy.

anyhow I find that sword fighting is a good work out. I started using wrist weights and fighting against the noob bukijutsu fighters, and after about 3 days you really being to feel in in your arms and abs...

I'm lazy and I'm not even fat .

I wanna do sword fighting too! Wish I could. </3

Google a historical swordsmanship club near you

or sometimes called a medieval fighting studies society

or an academy of the sword

I don't workout at home though, I do barbell exercises at the gym.

 

[bear_369]

Typing, Cleaning Dishes, Brooming the floor, Moping the floor, Preparing rice, and Removing dog poop is my type of physical exercise.

While Coding is my type of brain exercise.

I rarely warming up myself by doing "Filipino's exercise" every morning for some activities to be prepare.

 

[HappyTauren]

I do none, so I have atrophied and live in pain.

 

[Gilles]

I try and play as many sports as I can since I don't enjoy working out. I've always been an off-and-on runner. I hate doing it, but I know it feels really good being in shape. I do backpacking in the summer. Usually involves carrying 40-50 pounds up a mountain.

I also work in construction and my upper body stays fit so working out at home is even less desirable. If I stop working in a physical industry, I might try to work out in order to keep the little muscle I have.

Whoo hoo!
Construction dude's rock!
I find time to do plenty of exercise but little or no sport, I guess that means you we are even?

what are your views on toned and bulk muscle?

 

[Gilles]

I mostly just don't give a shit. I suppose I often think people with massive muscles look weird.

 

[BloodDrunk]

Tipical home workouts, hit every part of my body with dumbels

Will you elaborate?
I desperately need to know how to kill my gut with a proper gut burner... I don't want a muffin top :-(

 

[BloodDrunk]

Well, wanna get rid of phat? Do cardio. Lot's of cardios. Go run in the morning on an empty stomach for like 30 minutes and try not to pass out

Well, I do for biceps bicep curls and pull ups, triceps you have variety of exercises (such as push ups, handstand pushups, tricep extensions with dumbbels, and many more.). I do each part of my body once a week (1 body part per day, 5 days a week, weekends rest days). For my abs, I do them everyday, and I do 3-4 rounds of ab exercises for 5-10 minutes max, no rest inbetween (so you ensure you do your cardio, less rest time, more cardio, more metabolism). Ab exercises, there are also variety of them, you google it. chest, traps, legs...I won't talk about that since you can figure that out by yourself from above examples.

If you wanna get rid of your gut, you gotta do exercises that burn calories (burpiess are very good cardio exercise, running won't get you ripped, but can help in increasing your metabolism). Ummm basically, if you get all exhausted and can't breathe from exercises, that's when you're doing cardio.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

I can do over 300 sit ups and v sit ups and sit ups punch right and left
and I can feel my abs in my fat
yet still there is fat!!!!!

I'm going to try these burpiess. I've already tried running, which makes you fit but none less fat. I mean running makes you more able to run long distances without tiring, but the fat remains :-(

that's why I'm looking for the super work out. like reachers but only for my abs. With reachers I've now got legs of steel, and squats tone your butt a little too much.. also those Toto pink girly leg triangle bow things.

so... super work out?

 

[BloodDrunk]

It doesn't matter how much you can do, but are you doing the exercise properly.
You have strong abs obviously. As you are working them, you are working on their strength, but they won't show until you get rid of that fat that is INFRONT of them. That is the reason they aren't showing up.

I suggest you try out those burpiess combined with jumping jacks. Make it 5-6 rounds (if you can), and try not to rest, you gotta build up your metabolism that'll eat out that phat. I know the belly phat is the hardest to get rid of.
Try doing them for some time, month or 2 and see if there are any results.

There is no "super workout", only workouts you do correctly and efficiently.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

thanks will do, and yes I've been exercising correctly. that is why I switched from sit ups to v sit ups, cause its very difficult to do incorrectly.

I find that doing ab work outs no longer make my abs sore because they are already well trained. however twisting my hips still hurts my side muscles so that is good.

I'll do those work outs for the rest of the month and monitor the results

 

[BloodDrunk]

Work on your side abs, too, then. Get that core nice and strong.
You don't necessarily stick to these 2 exercises. You can incorporate them into your other workouts, so you have other workouts for strength, and these for cardio.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

Great news everyone!

I lost 3.5 kgs!!!!!

how brilliant is that!

I haven't had time to really exercise, so all I've been doing is working out at work

shoveling dirt
throwing bricks

all those side stomach action exercises.

and behold!

3.5kgs!

 

[Gottfried]

I like cartwheel and I do cartwheel four days of a week!
