Pushups are literally the only exercise you need to do.

Stabilizing your body in the pushup position works out the essential compound muscles such as your back, legs, and knees.

The pushing motion incorporates the biceps, triceps, chest, and calves.

The heavier you weigh, the more challenging, essentially the same as bench pressing your own body weight.

Adding repetitions brings about the cardio aspect.

100 pushups is the equivalent of running 12 miles and you don't have to worry about "Runner's Diarrhea".

Nice job man. I HATE long running, so the only thing I do is HIIT, although not right now as I'm only 3 months out from a broken leg.

The best thing for health and fitness is a daily dose of sex.

Lots of folks I know have dropped dead from running but damn few died in bed from a vigorous sexual workout.

He just new here

I'm a. Middle aged and b. New to running, out of shape and just started


For my age; 44, averaging 9 minute miles would be great which is 56 minutes. I hope to be there by the end of the year.

You don't understand these threads. This isn't the Rant

I'm not bragging about anything other than getting my butt of the office chair.

99% of the world population can't run a 10k in 59 minutes.

10k time calculator



This is a neat link, you enter your age and the run length with the time you completed it in. It tells you where you fall within your age ranking.

My 59 minute 10k puts me in the top 49% of men my age. So just slightly worse than the average runners my age.


57 minutes will put me above average for runners my age

Loving the fact that the new year's resolutioners have pretty much melted away at my gym. Much easier to find benches/machines to use. Can't wait to hit it hard again after work (lift/abs/cardio).

Props to y'all putting in work

I think he outlined it pretty clearly in his first post.

i got a lot of hate for that thread.

i've had quite a few of those guys stick it out to be honest and i'm glad for them. one of them is probably a 300 lb dude who's there every day and looks like he's dropped 20 lbs or so. i was supportive of him till that SoB took my keys one day and i got stranded at the gym for 40 minutes.


a lot of older couples come between 5-7 and have been consistent since starting the year..

frick them dude. Thats pretty good. I ran a half marathon about three years ago and did it in 2:04. My best time. I have pretty much been a 9.5-10 min miler my entire life.

Nice job
