Do the Guru3D Guru's workout/stay fit?

Kinda interesting to see since a lot of people seem to think doing anything with tech means you're either very unfit/healthy.

 

Even though I work for an IT company I get enough exercise. Climbing church towers, installing switches and servers on large ships (carrying the stuff onboard etc). IT guy doesn't equal nerd

 

Used to hit the gym and work out....seems likes ages ago.Now my body aches and feel old and weak.
Gotta start a recovery work out...i don't care anymore about gaining mass and another things i've been into,just want healthy body and stamina.
Working in IT just eats you from inside...first the brain,then the rest of the body.

 

It depends on what area of I.T/Tech you work really, desk jobs in general tend to be the worst for maintaining fitness.

Mind you, there's a few office buildings I know of that have had showers fitted over the past few years. Makes cycling to work or taking a run during lunch more viable.

 

Just started weight training again, I go through phases of really getting back into it, start seeing decent gains, then for no reason, get completely bored of it and stop for a few months

Bought in my Gold Standard 100% Whey, few other supplements, vitamins etc, dusted off the old bench-press and dumbbells, getting my diet back on track again

 

Nope, cycle once in a while, used to cycle every day to work, like, 30 or so mile a week.

Have more money now, can afford bus.

 

I didn't vote since my accident has me in a wheelchair, working out isn't an option. Before all of that though I worked physically demanding jobs and was quite fit, even if I did computer work/repairs as a side job and hobby for years.

 

Does regular sex count as exercise?

Seriously, aside from the odd walk I don't do much else. Too tired from work and daily traffic...

 

Been using Canditos 6 week cycle and seen great progress in my compounds.

Avg 5x a week.

 

I do some yoga and pull-ups, push-ups, etc at home. Other than that nothing of note for years now. Come to think of it even these exercises have been too rare in the past months. Need to be more consistent, because that sitting in front of screens all day is kinda bad…

 

And nerd does not equal unfit I go to the gym 4 times a week and daily walks on top of that and home exercise.

I have more energy to sit and think in front of the damn thing all day long when I exercise. I notice instantly if I don't just blergh.

 

Story of my life, around 19 years old i was so into it, i got over worked out and couldn't stop.

Then after a while i couldn't see it anymore, and left it, then year by year i work out on weekly basis but just for health, not gaining mass of muscular.

My belief is true and wierd to people, we gonna die anyway and all of this workout will not carry on to the next world, so why bother? just workout as minimum as u can to ensure u not gonna be a big fat baloon.

 

I wish the days of the nerds being unfit were back. You know what? Working out while being a nerd only makes you a hipster.

 

I wake day up every weekday at 6.30 eat breakfast do 30 minutes workout outside in any weather execpt hail .Some weightlifting pushups and situps daily routine is 150 or 200situps a day and around 140 pushups.In weekends i rest and have ferocious workouts with girlf-friend.Just keeping myself in shape nothing extraordinary.

 

Enough to stay reasonable muscled and reasonable "unfat".

Weighed 106KG several years ago, lost 24 KG, now occasionally when I see the weight go up on the scale I cut back my feeding a bit until it's back in check

I also have my own weights, so instead of going to the gym, I do some simple excerices to keep my strenght half decent.

 

Thats a lot of push ups but really unless you're going for durable smaller muscles its quite a useless effort.

I did this before and was kinda mad that I didn't see results after doing 70 push ups every day combined with other exercises.

Only thing I achieved is being able to hold myself longer at a pull up bar.

 

OH I used to be bad for eating utter rubbish but earlier in the year some blood results rung the hard hitting bell. At that point I cut my salt intake by a massive amount, cut out ALL fast food (haven't been near a McDonalds or similar place for nearly 8 months), cut down general snacking rubbish (crisps, biscuits, etc) and replaced them with fruit bags and unsalted nuts. I also opted to start doing some actual free time exercise. My job keeps me on my feet all day and is pretty labour intensive, probably the only reason I didn't put on a lot more weight.

Anyway started using my bike again, nothing to much just a bit of light exercise, anyway the result is nearly a stone lost in weight, generally feel more energetic and hopefully, HOPEFULLY Ill see some sort of improvement when I get my blood tests done next month.

 

Just checked my blood pressure with one of those electric wrist cuffs, 124/77

Time to put a check on my salt intake too I think
