Your physical shape and condition

[Quark_Chowder]

I don't work out, but I try to take a walk when I can. I'm a chick, 5'9" and 130 lbs. I'm also in my 30s, which means my metabolism is slower than you youngsters' in your twenties.

Enough with the description, already. I need a phone number.

Does "not dead yet" count as a condition? If so, I'm in great condition.

Obviously, you're not dead yet.

Close... but I see no reason to not go out with a smile on my face.

I've been lurking around this forum for awhile so I might as well jump in...

I try and be active as much as I can. I lift for strength, run occasionally, and walk almost everywhere. Working out isn't "fun" per se, but I enjoy it a lot. It's relaxing and (especially the more you get into it) addicting.

The people who are saying go at your own pace and start slow are right. The only thing I'd add is if you want to lift, all you need is a power rack, a bar, and some plates. You can work out every muscle in your body with bench press, press, squat, dead lift, and inverted row. Isolating muscles, unless you're a body builder, on 30 different machines just isn't as good for you.

i'm an undergrad, 5'6" & weigh ~ 60kg. The BMI chart says that I'm in the good range. I used to cycle a lot, used to cycle to school which was about 3.5 km away & my legs are pretty strong. My upper body is weak though, can't lift much. My stamina levels used to be good ~ 3-4 yr back - I could run 6km every day. But lack of proper eating & sleeping habits the last few years are taking their toll on me.
So, for the last month, I have been sleeping on time, having 4 meals a day & been reducing junk food. I also started going to the gym. Once it stops raining, I'll start running too (man, the rainy season is pretty bad on India's western coast). The hilly terrain of my univ should help a lot. Also, I don't booze, well, I've never.

Muahaha. I am 5'10 and could break you all in half, but can't run for long. I mostly lift. A lot.
