Exercise for skyrim : V - Skyrim

» Tue May 17, 2011 12:35 pm

Way ahead of ya. Been training strength and general conditioning for parkour for quite a while now, get up early and stretch every morning, eat lots of fruit, fish, etc. I don't drink alcohol, though, and at 5'7" I wouldn't make much of a nordic warrior I fear.

Train safe guys, especially if it's cold where you are - better to train sensibly and regularly than to go crazy all at once and spend the next two weeks recovering.

MWHAHHAHAA, I went to boot camp

we definitely didn't "train safe", it was winter, cold, and crazy. Never ate any fruit or fish

Yeah! I've been working out weekly since November and have gained 5 pounds already (of muscle not fat lol, I's is skinny) Too bad I can't grow a proper beard yet :sadvaultboy:

Five pounds of muscle since November? That's impressive, good for you man :thumbsup: ! I think I'm going to try to get in better shape, I'm like you were in November, skin and bones! I'm 5'10 and 147 pounds so I'm not exactly a force to be reckoned with. I don't think I'm going to get a gym membership though. I'm too cheap :shifty: , but I'll try to get out more for starters, and I can always do push-ups, crunchies and the like.

I had a stake every Thursday

Cereal in the morning, Basically everything a kid might find tasty, no vegetables, or fruits at all. Also hot chocolate with every meal. It was great ^_^, but we did work very hard, I think it was a great moral boost.

Thanks!

I use a set of 10-50 pound dumbbells (each), a yoga mat, a pull-up bar, and Scooby's Website. Here's the link, he's awesome (and very knowledgeable).

Yeah, I've recently decided to start getting in shape. My goal is Brad Pitt in fight club. Lean Spider-Man muscles is the way to go! :toughninja:

I do exercise my own nordic way - drinking another beer in the tavern.

That's a horn of mead in my case. And broiled boar.

I've been working out for 20 years (started when I was 12, I'm now 32).

*cough* bench press over 400lbs *cough*

But I gotta say, thinking of Nords and Dragons and Skyrim is sure a good motivation when I'm feeling lazy.

» Tue May 17, 2011 9:50 am

Well...I don't think those 7000 steps will be that much of a work out :shakehead:

Whats eksersis?

Before christmas I was actually jogging a couple times a week (first time in my life) and had (since summer) lost about 30 pounds. Since christmas I've put on 5 again

. It's so hard to get out and run when it's -20. I do have an elliptical but its all covered with boxes.

"Well move the boxes!" You say.

"Good idea," I reply.

I want to get a jump rope too. Those are a very good workout!

Well, I exercise anyway, but I may need it. School will provide the greatest obstacle to my inevitable immersion...

Needless to say, TESV will be the best part of senior year.

» Tue May 17, 2011 10:20 am

Nah, exercise isn't really my thing...

» Tue May 17, 2011 1:44 pm

Won′t need to... I have a "bodybuilding" spell :rolleyes:

» Tue May 17, 2011 1:13 am

Sure, im for it, I get my walking time in going to and from classes every day. Just need to be more consistent with doing pushups and situps on my bed

that brings up memories...when I was in boot camp I couldn't really sleep, whenever I tried I'd dream I was doing sit ups and crunches....turned out I was in my sleep.
