My stupidity, your stupidity. Wow, well done. And here I was wondering when the "Your Mom" jokes were going to come flying.
uh lets see your mom wears the army boots because she had the bigger balls? not too bad huh just off top o'my head
What is this? Again? You plagiarize again after I specifically told you I do not find it charming? heh I am done. I will just stick to observing. Of course, you'll have to reply to this, otherwise you will not seem childish, ha! Here is my reply to your reply in hieroglyphics... :eek:
just don't forget to put a dollar in so window goes back up now, back to proper training, lifestyle and diet
Kind of on topic, but how do you guys define "Fitness"? What does it mean to you to "be fit", what about "health" and "wellness"? How would you say one guy is fitter than another when comparing? What sports or activities produce the fittest persons?
Psychological or physical? I'll assume physical as you're asking on ET. VO2max/Fick Equation is the most widely used measure of cardiovascular fitness. Road cycling and XC skiing produce the "fittest" athletes in the World.
Right. Key in everything is to get your definitions correct. I suspect that we have very wide ideas as to what "fit" means. To a professional athlete whose very living depends on reducing risk of injury and has to be able to play in 120 degree tennis courts, or -20 weather, or has to have cross training, or has to be able to withstand the rigors of a navy seal, these all require different fitness and training. Obviously some of you guys are very hard core. To me fit means being able to concentrate at a high level for long periods of time, reducing my need to sleep to six to no more than eight hours a day, to be able to play a game of basketball with buddies at the gym and not poop out, and to "look the part". Even when I considered myself very fit, one day a brother of a friend that was a competitive cyclist invited me to race him around a track. We went around this track very fast, I lost by a wide margin, but I looked like I was totally unfit. I was using muscles that I simply hadn't used, maybe ever. I then challenged this guy to a 1/4 mile foot race, crushed him, and he didn't even look like an athlete running. I think some of us are gazelles, some are cheetahs, some are gorillas, some are dolphins, etc. We are adapted for some sort of exertion imprinted on our genes from long ago, when your athleticism meant you ate, or didn't eat.
nitro, how about trying intermittent fasting and reporting back to ET with the results? "Intermittent fasting From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Intermittent fasting (IF) is a pattern of eating that alternates between periods of fasting (usually meaning consumption of water only) and non-fasting. A specific form of IF is alternate day fasting (ADF), which is a 48-hour routine typically composed of a 24-hour fast followed by a 24-hour non-fasting period. (ADF is also sometimes referred to as every other day (EOD) fasting, or sometimes every other day feeding (EODF).) There is some evidence that intermittent fasting may have beneficial effects on the health and longevity of animalsâincluding humansâthat are similar to the effects of caloric restriction (CR). There is currently no consensus as to the degree to which this is simply due to an (often) concomitant overall decrease in calories. (IF and CR are forms of Dietary Restriction (DR), which is sometimes referred to as Dietary Energy Restriction (DER).) Scientific study of intermittent fasting in rats (and anecdotally in humans) was carried out at least as early as 1943.[1]"
