The discussion revolves around personal fitness experiences and challenges, highlighting a mix of athletic backgrounds and current struggles with exercise motivation. Participants share their past achievements in various sports and extracurricular activities, indicating a history of being active and engaged. However, many express a decline in their exercise routines due to factors like busy schedules, injuries, and mental fatigue from demanding jobs. There’s a humorous tone as members joke about unconventional workouts, such as shoveling and walking, while discussing the difficulties of maintaining fitness in sedentary jobs. Some express a desire to explore new activities like Parkour, while others reflect on their fitness levels and the importance of staying active despite life changes.

I like to think I'm pretty fit.
I do weigh 225 and some may think that is a lot, but a lot of it is muscle. Most people are surprised I weigh over 200 when I tell them, since I am thinner than most people expect for a guy who has that weight.
I work out regularly. I can jog a mile in 8 minutes, and I don't have much of a gut, either.
I have also taken up Judo, which is incredibly fun. Also, if you have a good sensei, they'll teach you how to modify some throws to use in self defence. I seriously recommend it for a great workout.
Working out is something that keeps me sane. If I spent all my time sitting in a chair in front of a computer I would lose it.

I hate excersize. It bores me to death. The only excersize I have ever been able to stand is doing something fun that happens to be excersize aswell. Some friends of mine and I used to spar with shinai (bamboo swords) and that was amazing fun. I could keep it up for hours. I would be sore the next day but being unable to move my hand due to the rapping my knuckles took usually took my mind off that.
I used to walk a lot when my car was broken down. That wasn't so bad, though it took hours out of my day and I had little time for anything but work. If it was only a couple miles to my job and I didn't need a lot of stuff with me I would probably walk it. It would certainly save on gas.
