Good for you.

My best workout was a while ago while I was camping.

First thing I did, was like 18+ miles of running, jumping, climbing and crawling on paths of rough terrain. Then I did a few miles of swimming after that. Then, I did a couple hours of wood splitting, got two 5-gallon buckets of water from the river a few times as well. After that I did like an hour of tree-punching since I'd gotten bored, also there was no punching bag, but mostly because I wanted to keep that pump going. Then I dug the rain trench since the weather was looking bad and we didn't want the tents to flood. And I volunteered to help our friends, who had just gotten there unload their stuff. And my favorite part was when I was pushing the ATV up the hill, and my fat dog got on it.

All in all, it was an active ass day. Plus, I had an extra confidence boost from watching a DBZ matathon that day. (Thank goodness we had service!!!)

I remember going to Fresno to see an actual boxing match. Hell, I helped build the ring! And I have a few other boxer friend s who do it as a hobby but are in actual matches and taught by coaches. And I'm on their level. Not because I'm the same kind of guy, but because I was taught by a coach who taught professional boxers. Not the good ones, but average ones.

Other than that, I don't do academic sports.

I know I'm a little late, but first, I did swimming for like 9 years or something, but I stopped, I don't know why. Lost interest, I think. I do archery as of now, which requires me to head over to the gym in order to be in shape, which is cool I guess.

@stargirl-3213

I do the occasional easy workout when I remember, but I'm on my school's JV volleyball team and I've started private lessons with the varsity coach so, yeah. XD

Hey guys, I'm sorry I was gone for so long, but I saw that my convo was up here again and it reminded me of what I've been doing for the past three weeks, of course, as of now I'm deciding if I want to continue. It's strange, eh? Sorry I haven't been on, but as of last week it got super intense!

@Masterkey

Wow shuriken you're freaking hardcore. I did an 18 mile hike in the Adirondacks with my dad for my 16th birthday, and I love running Spartan Races, but I could not have kept going after all that! JEEZ LOUISE.

I basically don't like working out for the sake of working out. I want to accomplish something while I do it. I go on runs and do pilates, but I'd rather not (though I like seeing my progress even in that). I LOVE hiking and running Spartan Races and playing sports and just being able to help people move or work at a job that's really taxing or just be able to defend myself. So if I'm ever doing a "routine," it's because I'm preparing for those things. Otherwise, I hate workout routines and I've never gone to a gym, really. Outdoors, please.

@Masterkey

Also, I've ALWAYS wanted to do martial arts! IT SEEMS LIKE SO MUCH FUN. I just don't know if I have the money for classes…

@Masterkey

Oh right, and I love rock climbing. I considered just living in an RV and traveling the world to climb when I was younger. XD

Yeah, I don't work out for the sake of working out either. I do it to increase my physical functionality, to be able to defend myself, to become more physically powerful because it's awesome, and for aesthetics.

Working out just to work out is pointless though!

I am mostly inspired to work out because Goku is my idol, I grew up watching DBZ and stuff. But I also try exercises like holding a static pose for hours, or just making everyday things a workout.

@Masterkey

Are you still open to DMing me about my short story btw? I tried it again but it still isn't working when I type in your name for some reason.
