Def gonna look into that...

you should prolly look into some basement apts. And how about energy fellers? i don't really see any recommendation, so i assume just getting into the routine and working out again, eating properly in the right intervals will get you going for like a long #!@ 10 hr workday?

I've looked into that...still very expensive. Even studios are running for 900-1000. Considering rent, eating right, misc bills(phone, cable, household necessities), and possibly a car note soon i'll def need the extra income. On the fitness tip, i don't even know how to eat right and i'm sure my metabolism is out of whack

1200-1300 is something like that for a 1 bedroom in the DC Area. Most places have a fitness center in the bulding if not, there is a gym not far from there. My gym has a special $9.99/month 24 hrs, new eqiupment, sauna, tanning room, boxing, cardio, the works. I think they also off student discounts if you are in school

Only places out here that have indoor gyms are expensive as hell... i'll be paying around 1500-1600.

Son you can live in a nice condo with gated access a garage and a gym, for that much money.

Definitely good to see other peeps up on that fitness tip.

Been going to the gym strong now for little over a year now.

The best way to stay motivated for me is just to humble yourself. There's always something you can improve on and someone who has a better body than you/orhas a body you want.

The gym has been one of the best teachers of self motivation for me. If you can get it done there, you can get it done anywhere in my opinion.

That type of consistent committment shows alot about one's character.

Big ups to everybody on NT who is actually trying to do something with their health and fitness

I have Shaq 24 hour fitness around my way....It's like 30 a month, I think, not to sure. But I had a 7 day trial membership (see if the oneyou want to go to has one), and I was hittin the gym at like 1 in the morning and s'. And it had a pool and basketball court. It's a good investmentimo.

Don't have a membership at 24/7 but I've had my membership at 24 hour fitness for over a year now. The trainers can check your body fatwith calipers(sp?) for free. They also have free classes such as aerobics, shadow kick boxing, biking, abs etc... It's a good investment. The gyms haveshowers. Don't drop the soap. As for your workout, it's good to switch things up because your body will get used to it. Goodluck!

I had a 7 day pass to the Shaq one in the Grove and it was alright. The people that worked there seemed sorta pushy though. That particular onewas pretty small and didn't have a pool or basketball court but it wasn't really crowded when I went, mostly in the mornings or early afternoon.

Right now I'm a member at LA fitness until I go up to fsu in the fall. It's not bad there, they have everything I need (cardio & weights) and theyhave a court and pool. The free weights are so unorganized and never in the right place.

For dudes who are just starting up...keep track one way or another. Be it marking it on a calendar, taking gradual pix or whatever, hell even post up on thisthread like it's your own blog. Because you'll see yourself daily, you won't notice the change until you look back at the before pic..that'swhen you feel great and want to go in even harder.

bodyspace.com

too lazy to use it mysef but its got goal tracking and #%%!. i think you can do photos and stuff too? not sure, but it's popular.

i don't take pics again im too lazy so i track my progress thru strength gains mostly.

i remember not being able to ut up 135 back in like sophomore year

now 3 plates + get repped

squats man first time i did em again i was struggling doing like 185 and that wasn't even parallel

crazy how weak i used to be

 

[wj4]

Yah I was referred to bodyspace.com by a friend too. Like you, I'm too lazy to use it. I just mark down 'gym' on my calendar for the day I went towork out. Last semester when there were times after class where I felt like skipping, I just looked at how far I came and went through with it. When I leavethe gym, I felt extra good...rushed home to mark 'gym' for that day.
