Cool.

@MidnightWarrior13 AHHHH you'll love it >w< it's still winter here ours is in fall

I've already been in track before and I loved it :)

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.

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

That's cool!

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!

Its alright, Shuriken.

Thanks homes! I'm thinking of continuing this new regimen of mine, but I'll get on whenever possible!

Ok. Sounds good.

Yeah.

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.

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…

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 mean, I do weightlifting, calisthenics, cardio, martial arts, unique exercises, and lots of climbing, swimming, and sparring.

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.

cough humble brag cough

But seriously, that's awesome

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.

I play sports every once in a while, and I always wear limb weights. I'm also gonna get a training mask. I don't bicycle too much because running is better exercise, and I train my pressure points because, well, it's an advantage. I do some workouts that I would definitely not advise too, I must confess. I even do gymnastics occasionally even though I generally dislike it and I'm not very food at it. And I do functional training too!

@Masterkey @shurikenwolfbadass_13
I agree with you guys. I do running, weightlifting, and martial arts, but I don’t do them for the sake of working out. And Shuriken, I couldn’t have said it better myself. As far as working out goes, I strive to be stronger, faster, and be able to defend myself. I enjoy working out and especially with martial arts, I want to become better. I am serious about this stuff.

@Masterkey it's not working for me either, I dunno.

Have you guys tried typing it in quotation marks?

No, we haven't.

Hold on…

Idk, try it.

No, I'll try it

I tried, no luck.

Still not working, that's so weird…

Since you both do martial arts… how would you advise a complete newbie young adult who never did martial arts but wants to learn?
