What do Internet Marketers do to stay fit???

P90X and hardcore Army Training....

Did 101 push-ups, in 2 minutes, my last PT test last month...

Wow, thats impressive, I do the complete opposite of what you do :-(

Thats part of my problem as well

Thing is i'm 39 and until recently i was the skinniest guy around but now i think i'm growing man boobs and a beer belly with two kids calling me dad.

It's like i've stepped through a time machine without realising.

Well i'll definately take some of advice here and starting exercising before it gets worse.

Whoa, you're on par weight-wise with me... and you NEVER gain? Must be some nice genetics going on there - I take it you're trying to gain muscle mass, right? :p

Wow all great tips here. Thanks everyone definitely bookmarking this thread for future reference.

We all need the reminder and additional motivation every once in a while just as with internet marketing. except for internet marketing the reminder would be checks and withdrawal lol.

Looks like I got to cut the food eating by the computer. I find myself snacking a lot by the computer. I do this most often when I'm just relaxing and taking a break reading forums or watching a movie. It's just a habit I think those that start with find it hard to end. But I guess it got to go before it gets out of control.

Also I guess as someone mentioned regular meals do help but it's hard to manage timed meals properly as it consumes a lot of work and time but better have meals than snacks all day.

Wow man 25 Lbs in 1 month. That got to be a record. Each lb if I'm not mistaken is 3000 calories which means you should have burn 75 000 Calories!

20 minutes of running at 7-9 miles/hour burns me 300+- calories that means it's equivalent of running 250*20= 5000 Minutes at 7 Miles/ Hour but I guess we do burn calories from daily activity as well.

Congrats on your progress; Please pm me your blog I have to check it out and try out some of your exercise.

Thanks,
Benjamin
Congrats that's a huge accomplishment. Never heard of P90X. I don't usually follow exercise routines just go biking, jogging, free weights but your review does look really good.

Keep going staying health, preserver and thanks for the heads up.

All the Best,
Benjamin

I go running nearly every morning..I walk everyday with my 2 year old and boyfriend and I go for a bike ride with my 2 year old and boyfriend every other day it seems.

I am not someone who can sit still and the break also helps me concentrate when I get back.

What a great question.

When I began working at home, I put on weight.

Eventually I realized that when you have work outside the home, you get much more exercise just getting around than you realize. So it takes effort to keep the weight down.

Within the last year, I am losing, losing, losing weight while still working at home. I just made it a priority to get LOADS of exercise. All year long, I run four miles every other day, and the other days I walk 3-5 miles. In addition, in summer I swim a mile every day.

I make this high priority and enjoy being outdoors.

Good luck finding your own answer.

Yep, I'm former Navy. I'm going to ruin that 'buffed' run you had going though. It has been 31 years since I was in though, so there is that.

As for exercise, my fingers get a furious workout on the keyboard every day and I laugh all the way to the bank.

When I went full time IM I had to go to the gym 4-5 days a week to keep myself balanced and sane.

There's no way I could be on a computer all day. I found that going to work out each day really helped clear my mind.

A beer is the only thing that gets me up in the afternoon too!

I didn't think that there could be anything wrong with sugars. Even the protein from a steak is turned into glucose before the body can use it for energy.

But I have a joint that was always sore. After it got better a few times when my sugar routine was lower than usual it finally dawned on me that cutting back might be a good idea.

Down to practically nothing now and it was so easy. Even fruit juice seems too sweet for me most of the time. I just feel like I want to stay away from it.

Milton Berle was explaining one time: "They say that sex is great exercise and it is, but now I need something to build up my other arm."

I am a volunteer karate instructor in an organization that teaches through community education programs.

Between teaching around 10 hours a week and training a few hours most mornings at first light, it keeps most of the excess weight off. Biggest problem for me is age. I'm at the point where it takes twice the effort for half the result.

I don't have a lot of unhealthy junk in the house so when I get the urge to munch there's not a lot of damage I can do! I also schedule my workdays so I take frequent breaks and try to get some exercise. I'll go to the gym or go for a swim.

That's what I've heard and read in so many places. But you still need good cardio for maintaining general good health right?

I've cut down quite a bit on my cardio honestly because I don't quite like running 20 minutes but also after reading this in quite a few places. I still do cardio but now focus mainly on weights.

Thanks,

The traffic is too bad to get to my gym so I bought myself a concept 2 ergometer. I do 200k a month on it.

Good tip, jafris! (lol...after reading this, i proceeded to get my 25 lbs. dumbells, out of my room, and I placed them next to my computer chair...)

I've heard of this before....

What is the physiological reason behind warm water vs. iced water, again?

I wouldn't take nutritional information from a high-school educated motivational speaker. If you drink 8-8oz glasses of ice water a day, you will burn an extra 70 calories to warm the water in your belly. Cold water is also absorbed faster and therefore hydrates your body faster.

Do you have a study showing any benefits to drinking warm water?

Tried something new yesterday at my gym. It's called Tabata Protocol and is used by the Japanese speed skating team. They only do this for 4 minutes. I thought "WTF? Are they pussies?" Until I did it yesterday. OMG! I felt like I'd just done a long climb.

You do all out (must be highest speed, full effort) on a bike or elliptical (can't do this on a treadmill) for 20 seconds. Then, 10 seconds rest. Repeat. They do it for 8 cycles (4 minutes).

I made it through 6 before my legs felt like lead. It is brutal. That 10 seconds is very short.
