Never could stand traditional sports/activities...I can't stay focused long enough for a long jog or bike ride, I envy the self motivation of those who do. Traditional sports (football, baseball, soccer, etc) kinda bore me too, so I do this to keep fit:

Granted I am not quite as good at it as the guys in the tournament videos, but I still think I'm a badass anyway ;)

Fantastic!! I love submission grappling. What school/team do you train with? You gotta belt?

 
I was seriously into road racing and mountain biking, even had a small pro am contract!!!
Then I met up with you guys, now I drink beer, stay up all night and smoke myself silly!!!
It's all your fault that I went from 64kg to a whopping 78kg in a year and a half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell I like you guys more anyway!!!!

Well done there RB!!!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

LOL yeah I guess it should. I hadn't even thought of that as it pertains to this thread. It's actually the first line of one of my favorite songs called "Molly and Tenbrooks" about a pair of race horses.

I'm a lowly blue belt. For some reason I still haven't figured out, I waited until I was almost 30 years old to start training. Do you train?

I train at a Lloyd Irvin affiliate...Paramount BJJ (paramountbjj.com).Run by Brad Court, a black belt and personal friend of mine for a few decades now:

My younger brother is also a BJJ black belt and mma fighter. Has trained w/ a few fancy UFC names too:

No I don't train. I have been a huge mma fan since way back in the day. Since sub/no-gi is such a big part of mma, I am a big fan of it. Also, a lowly blue belt my patooty, that is a great accomplishment. Wasn't it a Gracie that said a blue should be able to beat Mike Tyson in a street fight?
 
Haha...I don't know if a Gracie said that or not. The Gracies have certainly said alot of things and had alot of sayings atributed to them.

I still wouldn't want to take my chances though. I like my ears intact, even if they are cauliflowered :lol:
 
I've been running for the last four years. I was overweight, every day at 5:00 I'd find it hard to keep my eyes open and February usually meant that I'd be sick at least one week in four. Enough was enough. I changed my diet and bit by bit began to run. I have a lot more energy now and don't get sick nearly as much. I've shed seventy pounds in the process and at the moment am running between 50 and 60k a week.

Kudos to all of you! The only discipline I'm consistent with is aquiring pipes and baccy!

Great progress, RB-5, not keep it up and keep it off (usually the hardest part).

I go to the gym a few times a week, hike and backpack a lot, but my main aerobic activity is I'm a soccer ref. During the high school season, I'll often do games two or three times a week, and a typical three-fer is three 80 minute games back to back, center one and line two, trying to keep up with 18 year old athletes on a field that is 120 yards long and a 100 yards wide. Forty minute halves with one, 10 minute break at half time and perhaps 15 minuites between games.

That's four hours of basically non-stop sprinting and running in a five hour period, in the evening after a long work day, and I have a bum leg and arm and I turn 60 soon. Ah, but I have the secret to slow it all down, it's called a whistle! :lol:

So that's why the refs never call diving! They're just so grateful for the stoppage time...

Congratulations to all of my brothers who are self-disciplined enough to exercise and attain your goals! My hat is off to you!!!

Unfortunately, about the only thing I am self-disciplined enough to do is to occasionally have a good plate of fried catfish... with all the trimmings!! :lol:

Bless you all!!!

First off I hate exercise of all kinds and would love to sit around all day and not do it, which in fact I did for several years, and being only 18 means a fair portion of my entire life. But now I do exercise, I bought videos from an infomercial and have lost 20 pounds in a month and a half with eating better too. I hate every second of it and am often moody from the activity but after it all I fell pretty great, never think I will become addicted though. Also something that is sort of amusing is I did not start the pipe until after I started working out I smoke it to stop the cravings for food. :lol!:
