The Gym Thread

I'm not expecting this thread to be successful. I do realize most folks here are young and are not too concerned about their body, but I figured, what the hell. Maybe some are already going to the church of iron, maybe some are planing to start. Maybe some didn't even consider it up until now.

I don't recall a thread like this existing ever, so I'll just see if there is a potential for discussion. If there is, I might write a small guide on how to start and general tips. If not, oh well, at least I tried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IMO, if you are a teen, it's a perfect time to start working out. In a few years time, you'll be creating waterfalls wherever you go.

 

I don't go to a gym but I do cycling which I'm pretty decent at. I do it twice a week both times about 60 kilometers. On Tuesday we go to the hardest hill we have around here. I'm pretty good at going uphill but downhill is harder for me as I'm the lightest and youngest in the group. Technically the age limit for the group is 16 but I joined when I was 13 and nobody cared. So if you're young but you think you're good enough just go a few times and if you can keep up nobody will care.

 

60 km is a fairly decent distance. I ride bike with my friends here and there and my butt always hurts when I'm done.
You are being active, that's great, keep at it bro!

 

do pokemon gyms count

 

If they give you abs, sure.

 

Hoe fast do you go then? I usually go around 30 to 35 kilometers an hour

 

A bit less than that. I assume around 25 km/h. Not a fan of cardio tbf.

 

That's a decent speed if you have just begun

 

2 meters under sea level.

 

Nah like 75 above or something, it's part of the sallandse heuvelrug

 

this is not /fit/ brah

 

this is my favourite thing

also, kinda planning on starting, but there's nowhere close by, so it's kinda hard to. I'll get there though! :)

 

I run high school cross country; that's enough I think ;)

 

I feel you dude. There was no gym near my place so I built my own. Tho I had to spend a decent amount of money, so I can't really recommend something like that as it might be above your budget.
Other option would be bodyweight exercises. Pull up bar is really cheap and kinda essential.

Fingers crossed, hope you find a way!

Ya, that's really good :)
