How do you stay fit?

[Jihad]

Kickboxing 3-4 times a week (stopped now due to $$ problems)
Now it's basically weight lifting in combination with cardio training to keep it pumped.
And eating healthy ofcourse, lots of fruit etc.

can you explain these desi games!

hehe...
Maram Pitti(its like a desi dodgeball) - Played with a hard rubber ball(tennis ball size) and all you have to do is hit anyone around you(not the face) as hard as you can.Only rule is that you cant move, when you have the ball.Loads of running around and preffered in small enclosed areas.

Pithu- Take 7 marble stones slabs(small broken ones,5-10sq cm).Pile them up one over another.Two teams.First team has to break the pile,with a tennis ball from a distance(3 tries per player,and if the 3 tries fail to break the pile,its out,like baseball).If the pile breaks, the first team has to assemble it ASAP because the players of the 2nd team have to collect the ball and hit the players making the Pithu(pile), if you're hit, you're out, the ones who survive getting hit have to scramble to make it(our hands start shaking in the rush ).This keeps repeating untill all the players are out.The team which makes the most no of pithus wins.Only rule is that you cant move, when you have the ball.This game is also played in an enclosed area, not an open field.Mostly played in colonies.But these are getting very rare.

I have no clue how these games sound while reading, but you have to see them once.It is a lot of fun! Maybe they are played in Pak with a diff name?

For last year or so my only sports related activity was watching Sports Channel on TV....

But after reading all of the above posts about the fitness regimes of members here, I now feel a bit embarrassed about my laziness and seriously thinking of.......

.





......not reading this thread any further...

I walk at least 4 miles every day. But what keeps me fit I guess is the happiness that I derive from the research work I do, from my gardening hobby, from playing with my 6 years old and 7 month old sons and from selfless love and devotion I get from my lovely wife.

Ah!
So this is all about what you, who don’t do lots of physical work do to try to stay alive a year or two longer.

Well that is a simple set of things.
1. Feed 4 horses at 0700 h – light feed
2. Saddle up horse 1 at 0900 h – go for 5 – 10 Km ride
3. Wash down horse 1
4. Saddle up horse 2– go for 5 – 10 Km ride
5. Wash down horse 2
6. Take horse 3 through 30 min ground work – brush down
7. Take horse 4 through 30 min ground work – brush down
8. Feed horse 1-4 rest of morning feed.
That all takes up to 1200 – 1230.
9. Clean out stalls start about 1700 h
10 feed 4 horses

Wash down horse 1 and 2’s saddle and bridles saddle blankets hand to air dry.
Every 2 weeks go to the local feed place load 1 ton of baled hay then get back to stable, unload and stack same ton in sheds.
Every 4 weeks after all above strip down 4 saddles wash and re oil each. Strip down all 4 bridles and other harness and wash and re oil.

Then some where in that continue making some timber furniture, throw in, doing some programming code, then for the masses writing some useless stuff at

Who would do some form of fitness work out after that; Not me.

Serious exercise is at least 2 Coopers Sparkling Ales at evening meal +

A few things occasionally get out of order but heck who cares.
In view of many things I am still alive.

You youngns better keep to the exercises. It safer.

What you call Mram Patti was called ' Kings & Queens' by us in school. One rule was that you couldn't let the ball touch the palm of your hand - you ended up holding it with the tips of your fingers only..

Thanks to IT , absence of playgrounds, curriculum in schools .. & time alas ! these inexpensive yet tiring & exercising games have all but faded away.

My son has never experienced the fun of climbing trees, stealing mangoes from trees, bathing under a tube well ' Bambi', using a catapult to knock off tails of lizards and so many forbidden ' fun' things we did.

I was surprised ( & indignantly shocked ) when he asked me yrs ago " that in the olden days" when I was young , did get to see cartoons ?!!

Thats when I realised that the generation gap had just got wider.

Be lazy enough to miss atleast a meal a day.
And stay enthused over every damn sport or game you come across.
You can be as fit as me.

Keep it secret...

 

[tamir]

Just keep in mind.... 80% diet 20% excercise.

Hi,

In my younger years like the 30's---you could have seen me jogging on redondo beach / hermosa beach---now it is the bicycle routine on the beach in the east bay marina.
