Are you leveling up outside of EQ? (fitness thread)
Hey friends I feel that it is my duty to point out that P99 should be consumed as part of a varied recreational diet and as such I am bringing back the successful fitness thread from last year.
Since I started that thread I have run two half marathons (13.1 miles / 21.something kms) and am continuing to work at it, have put an entry in for the London Marathon next April but will be lucky to actually get a place (I find out in October!). I expect haters who don't exercise more than their fingers to be angry at this thread but hopefully you can channel it positively. Everyone is welcome to join in and post up how they're doing, what progress they're making and such <3 So, are you getting to the gym? Are you working on your fitness?

So what's new with Swish since the last thread?

Last Thursday I successfully ran 13.2km/h for 35 minutes, and have been working at 13.4km/h for the same duration, no breaks, no stopping, no water. Didn't manage it today but the beauty of the gym is it's always there and after a rest day tomorrow I'll be trying again on Wednesday! Today's session total: 811 calories burnt (with other equipment) | |||

Amid a guy doing walking handstands (for fitness, right?), off duty PTs walking around flexing while saying hello to the gym rats and other general gym etiquette I sweated to videos on the wall including Da Rude - Sandstorm (spotted a couple of 19-20yr old Twitch nerds react when that came on) and some shit Janet Jackson song from 1998. Main thing is it's progress, and attempting 13.6km/h next session. I set a target of clearing 14.0 by Christmas but it feels like a big leap ^^ Hope y'all are getting out there, or even grinding out some sets/reps while on the elf sim <3 | |||

So 13.8km/h next session, it's the fastest I ever cleared on a treadmill before I took a break. 14 would be a brave new world (8.7mph) and I might have to consider going up in .1's instead of .2's :/ Sidenote: No dickheads doing attention whore walking handstands across the mat area today but when you're on the end of a row of 5 treadmills and there's nobody else there...then a guy gets on the one next to you just after you start, you wonder why... like "dude, I'm gonna be sweating here" lol | |||

I do push-ups and sit-ups sometimes when waiting for respawns, does that count? Been meaning to exercise more, but I have a kid that is a little over a year old so daily routine is work, pickup from daycare, feed him / play with him, night time routine. EQ from 9-10:30 if I'm lucky.
Curious if people have exercise tips for DURING p99 play time.

When I was an eq/whatever else game addict I would do bis/tris/shoulders with a dumbbell on my chair, and push-ups and sit-ups on the mat. I also have the doorway pull-up bar I would use. I also have a spin bike in my bedroom (my bedroom is pretty large). The past year I decided to quit booz completely. I won't have had a drop in an entire year coming up next week. My minimum in the gym is 4 days a week and I've been spending about 2 hours+ each session. Some would argue it's overkill but I enjoy being a gym rat so don't really care. I would probably spend another day or so more if I could but my job doesn't allow that due to long hours. I'm healthier than ever and have a pretty good balance going on. Dick pics on request even for Baler. | |||

To add onto your request for suggestions. My buddy actually setup a desk so that he could use his stationary bike. I also have two friends who religiously use a standing desk.

Dumbell is a good idea, maybe just a light one (20 lbs?) to work on some toning, don't care about getting big or anything like that. May even try and get that at work (may look like an idiot, but whatevs). Cardio is kind of tough to do for me, but maybe can just do some standing squats to get some of that blood flowing and heart rate up.
