Every morning I get up and am jazzed up because I'm going to hit the gym hard after work. Then, as work comes to a close, I just want to go eat some 'sketti-o's and watch TV instead. Strategy to get more motivated? Is the key just lotsa redbull right at the end of the workday?

Recommendation:
Find a sport you are decent at and play pick-up games. You will do the min. to stay in shape on off-days to play your sport.
Soccer works well for me in this regard. Haven't lost a ton of weight, but it keeps me safely away from 2 bills.
-
Yeah, would help but team sports piss me off (inevitably hate teamates for them being "retarded"). Would love to work out in the morning but try to be to work by about 6:30 so no way to get my lazy ass out of bed at 4:30.
-
Masturbate furiously at least 5 times after work.

Agree. It's the most difficult thing I have ever tried to do (work out on a consistent basis)
I always feel juiced and ready to go after I workout, but before it's like "30 more minutes of sleep sounds WAAAY better."
-

I tried that diet. It worked at first, and then I just started taking naps after 1. Very tough to stay with it, IMO.

i wish you could find pickup b-ball games before work.
back when I lived in sticksville the farmers would play ball early.
Not so in the "city". :frown:

Set goals?

force yourself to do it for a couple months. it gets a lot easier to stay motivated once you began seeing results. getting a trainer also helps. you don't have to be way out of shape for a trainer to be useful.

See, that's the thing, I did it daily for a couple months and have gradually become very "meh" feeling about it and can't get motivated. When I started I was all :dancin: but now am all :sleep:
-
Set goals?
Yeah, I did. It was: Work out every week day after work excepts sometimes friday.

I think having a treadmill at home would be money. When I'm living in the big time I will do this.
Or just getting some 10 lbs weights and lifting with evening tv.

i gotta agree that "working out" is lame. listen, the crap's lame.
i don't like workout queens or working out all the time, or weight lifters. especially why lift weights? worried about having to pick up a boulder? bottom line is that you should have to make your body/brain do something it doesn't want to do. ever have a hard time picking up a 12 pack after work? no. why? because you enjoy it. life's far too short to waste time doing crap you don't enjoy.

I think the key here is being "not fat." And "attractive to the ladies." Turns out, floppin' on the couch with my Vista Oreo 'clone, Happy Valley Hot Shredded Beef, 6 Pabst pounders and my freshly packed bong doesn't achieve those ends.

Aahhh, but what if knowing that you did something you don't enjoy because then it would mean you would be able to do the things you enjoy even longer? I had more to add to that run-on sentence but got bored mid run-on.

Do you smoke cigs/drink a pot of coffee a day? Pretty much only way to stay trim without exercise.

Wii Fit?
-
just go three days a week for an hour each time. you don't need to be going every day. work 1-2 specific body parts each day. if you push yourself for those three hours a week you'll start seeing big changes. as long as you are willing to continually push yourself every time it does become something enjoyable that you'll look forward to.

Steroids?
-
Amino Acids?
-
Dopamine?
Lactic Acids?

I love working out. I should really try to do it sometime.

Every morning I get up and am jazzed up because I'm going to hit the gym hard after work. Then, as work comes to a close, I just want to go eat some 'sketti-o's and watch TV instead. Strategy to get more motivated? Is the key just lotsa redbull right at the end of the workday?
try doing some cardio before work everyday (mon-fri). then some lifting on mon-wed-fri after work. the huge plus with doing cardio everyday before work is if your not feeling like doing anything after work at least you got something done for the day. or if you were hungover and didnt make the morning work out here are some fillers...
the above mentioned mon-wed-fri lifting days
then after work on tues-thurs have a jog and abs or some sort of sport.... flag football, hoops, racquet ball, golf (walking), not soccer (its for fags), swimming, :dancin: softball :dancin:
the key is to get in a routine and dont break it.

Shouldn't I be able to squeeze at least one additional workout in per day!?

I was the same way, I wanted to lose some weight a year and a half ago so I started bringing the gym clothes to work with me. forced myself to go right after I left work. Sucked ass for the first 2 weeks but then when I started seeing results made it worth it.
-
I would suggest fork-lift rides to the beach (before work), with snacks of fish and vegetables. You may question the method, but don't question the results. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080810/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/mexico_half_ton_man;_ylt=An5HSPWeXdWC99AxZ8zjbrS3IxIF (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080810/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/mexico_half_ton_man;_ylt=An5HSPWeXdWC99AxZ8zjbrS3IxIF)

I sneak outta my office and run up and down the steps for about 15 minutes.

Buy some no-xplode. The stuff messes with your head and gets u pumped to work out. It costs like $40 for a tub of it. It also burns fat while building muscle.
Greatest supplement ever.....

I have it on good authority that cireksu sits on a giant inflatable ball at his desk and keeps a pair of lavender 5 lb dumbbells in his trunk (bad for mpg btw)
-
find something you love to do and work at it. example: i love riding bikes. when i do this i get excited no matter what and it doesn't feel like a workout no matter how hard i go. another good way to go would be to spend a bunch of $$$ on something that will help you work out. this way you can at least use guilt as a motivator.
really it comes down to you.

Wouldn't cocaine/adderall do the trick?
I'll have to try it though, if I ever start working out.

it does work but it's basically just an insane energy drink. used it for 4 months and brought my bench up 45 lbs but when i quit using it i immediately dropped back down. most creatines are basically a load of sugary bs, jmo.

i do this too. i ride my mountain bike. great exercise.

I misread the subject line, I thought it said, "Who here hates working people?" I'm up for that but working out I love.

get divorced. Every divorced guy I know works out religiously.
Glad I could help. :thumbsup:

Yeah, that would be a real motivating factor. Sometimes I'm there and am like, "Whats the point. Mrs. dave would prolly not care if I was fatter."

Nothing destroys workout motivation more than in-house.
-
asava: it's probably just a bruise. I did that last year, and it hurt so bad I was convinced I had broken something, but rib injuries are quite painful, even just bruises. You might look into getting chest protection and armor if you're biting it a lot or doing downhill.
-
i hope its a bruise. it definitely hurts to sneeze, laugh or take in deep breaths. landed on a rock pretty hard, but i didn't hear any crack. i don't really care enough to go to a doctor for it. i'll just wait it out. as for chest protection i never really plan on biting it and i don't do much downhill, usually all single track. this trail was just a bit to overgrown and i couldn't see a rock on the inside of a turn. i do have pretty sweet lookin road rash on my arm though.
-
One time my feet were numb when I got off the elliptical and I almost fell over, don't think I'll go to the doc either, just wait it out.

asava: what kind of bike you got? I'm looking to get a new mtb.
-
If I wasn't working out for football, it would be extremely hard for me to get motivated to go work out. It's still hard a lot of the time. Whenever I lift though it gets the adriniline going. The only way to get truly motivated is to work out for something. Tell yourself, or have Mrs. Dave tell you that you will get much more sexy time if you get skinnier, or if you're fairly skinny more buff. That should get you going.

specialized rock hopper. nothing special. its just a decent hardtail. i am looking to get a Salsa El Mariachi. i want a 29'er somethin fierce.

If there's one group of people I hate, it's the obsessed runners crowd. They're all like "runners high, prefontaine, 10 miler, blah." You should only run for a purpose: Sports, something chasing you, etc. You don't see animals running just for the fun of it. If you do its becaue they have rabies.
-
I can get behind what cd33 is saying here. Mostly because I can't run more than 200 yards before having to take a break. Running is really hard for me. I see guys that look in way worse shape than me just chugging along and it pisses me off.
-

sometimes during the winter i'll run inside on the treadmill, between 6-7 miles. when i get off my legs are all rubbery and kinda numb. i always think i'm going to fall right down and bite it in front of some fabulous babes.

i picked up a 29'er this past spring and love it, i'm sure you will too. they love to climb and are great fun. :thumbsup:

This is why you SHOULD run. What if something was chasing you and the nearest tree was 201 yards away? Also, a good reason to throw in some pull ups and/or not live in the Serengeti.
-
i see what your sayin SD. I got a real job this summer to pay for school and when 5 rolls around, the last thing i want to do is go to a really crowded gym and work out in front of everybody (kind of self conscience). so mainly this summer i sat at a computer working 8 hours a day, went home and ate, then drank beer at night. if i knew this formula for gaining weight back in my HS football days i'd be set.

1) When you go golf. Walk
2) since your married, WHO GIVES A &@#% she aint going nowhere

Just back from gym. Sucked again.

I hate running. I don't hate people who run, but just don't expect me to join in your silly pointless activity.
I'm thinking about getting a Gary Fisher 29er like the Paragon or a Niner.

fisher makes good 29'ers too, just depends on what you're looking for.
