So I'm sitting on my porch.

WAtching the shadow of some guy working outs through his blinds on a stepper or whatever...(no homo).. Smoking a cigarette... holding a beer...thinking... Why the fuck would you want to work your body if noone is paying you?


I'm sorry... I get 125.00 an hour to put my beer down.


He will probably get hit by a bus.

[croscoe]

Well, I enjoy riding bicycles. Not to get in shape or save the planet, but only because I enjoy it... I'm a smoker as well. :)

for the most part its people that dont "work" for a living, people like you and me that actually have to use there body and mind to make a living see no real point in "working out" ive tried it, i dont feel any better as a matter of fact the few times that i rode my bike to work i was so fucking exhausted buy the time i got there that i was worthless the rest of the day, i love my bike... and i like riding it but i need to be able to work when i get there. as it is i walk probably 3 miles a day back and forth to my tool box and around the shop. do count less squats, sit ups.... painting a car for example is an hour aerobic work out with a 5lb dumb bell at the end of my arm... when i was painting trucks i figured it out one time that i had to clime close to 100 flights of stairs... not 100 stairs 100 times up and down that flight of stairs, dragging a hose, and swinging a 5+lb weight at the end of my arm.. ive had several people tell me that they cant believe how much physical work i actually do, not to mention the chemical exposure that i have to put up with its amazeing that im not dead yet

Umm... to get in shape and stay that way?

If you think the effort you put into plunging and carrying a toolbox on your job is actually exercise... as in being healthy exercise, then I assure you... you're kidding yourself.

I'd be shocked if you could put down your beer and cancer stick right now, walk out your door, and run a single pathetic ten 10 minute mile without dropping dead on the sidewalk or, best case scenario, merely popping a lung.

Twenty push-ups? I doubt you're good for 5 in a row.

This morning, probably at about the time you were having your breakfast cigarette, I had 100 push-ups done, and I was finishing up 6 miles in under 8 minutes each.

I can't exactly give you a dollars-per-hour estimate of what that's worth... and sadly, you'll probably never understand the value of such things as that. It's something money can't buy. Oprah's flabby ass is proof of that fact.

I use to be fit.... I played football...But now? um 41.

Fez has the facts that we as blue collar folks do more exorcise than we want to.

Why be fit? All that crap you said doesn't do a thing for me... I did all that crap... now I am into limos and beers...

As far as feeling unfit... I know how to kill someone in just under 10 seconds... which comes in handy since i can only breath in a fight for 15 seconds.

So If my bases are covered why not be an unfit slob?

It is much easier.

I'm 41 too.

I got fat and lazy for a year or two back when I was like 32. It sucked. I just felt tired and worthless all the time. It's just not me... I can't carry that 20 pounds of worthless flubber around with me all the time. It just doesn't feel right for me. I hated that roll around my middle... I hated that I had to strain to compress the jelly roll in order to tie my shoes. I hated that my head would swim and I'd see stars after I walked a few flights of stairs. I hated that I couldn't even enjoy a two hour ride on my mountain bike out in Montauk because my lungs were burning like fire and I felt like I was going to puke after 15 minutes.

I just like being in good shape. I feel better, happier, more confident and capable, I sleep like a baby, etc...

I can totally understand why people (like myself) "make the effort".

Here's the beauty... I like limos and beer too... a lot. After running a half marathon or completing an olympic triathalon I REALLY like celebrating with a cold beer in the back of a limo on the way to a big, fat juicy steak dinner and a Martini the size of a toilet bowl.

Yes, people... you CAN have it all.

What else you got son?

[WhiskeyWhispers]

I think there is a big difference between exercise and say, lifting weights.

You exercise to stay in shape and not turn into a fat glop of shit. It's healthy and constructive. It's nice to be able to breathe after climbing a set of stairs.

You lift weights so you can wear those gay-ass tight t-shirts and flex in the mirror. It's vain and narcissistic. The only people who admire you are yourself and other faggots like you.

ok...now im not trying to start a fight... but i just have to ask... have you ever injured your self? while "dicking off?" like fell off your bike and broke your arm? blew out a knee... fucked up a shoulder playing a pick up game of some ball involving game? got hurt skiing?.... and if so who paid your bills? i got into this argument at a fourth of july party a few years ago, my wana be foot ball player brother in law and his jack ass ex jock wana bees got all pissed off at me because i refused to play "touch" foot ball with them.. i tried to explain to them that if i get hurt, i cant work, i dont sit on a stool polishing door knobs all day.... and im not part of there door knob polishing union that allows them to take 6weeks of vacation a year and all of the other "amenity's" of there jobs... if i get hurt or blow out my knees (my shoulders are already torn up) im fucked, im out of a job, and eating out of a dumpster, now, if i have a stroke at work or a heart attack..... eh, maybe i can get some workers comp but other wise, im more valuable as the "un healthy" slob that i am... i may not be able to run a 10 minuet mile or do 1000 sit ups, that's not what i was designed for, my value to the world comes from my mind, and my ability to put those thoughts into actions. i work with a guy that is buy all means an "Adonis" 6 pack abs.. cut like garnet... on the ERT team and can kill a man in 8 seconds..... but when faced with simple spacial reasoning skills that are required for basic fabrication work.... yea.... stick to the push ups and beatings..

i wear 30 pounds of tools around my waist for 8 hours a day. i climb hundreds of stairs a week. i carry seriously fuckin heavy metal. fuck workin out come do my job and try to last an hour.

there is nothing more fun than running a "noob" into the ground... i had a kid quit on me after one day.... first he was pissing and moaning that he had to be at work at 7am... then got whiny when i told him that he had to clime that set of stairs till the truck was sanded... then the final nail in his coffin came when i told him that the truck that we were working on was full of human waste.... ahhhh the good old days.

[Three Hole Puncher]

Yeah... like I've spent my life working in an air-conditioned cubicle.

I was a Navy diver... which is like the job you described, but try it underwater with a metal bucket on your head. I was a scale technician... which is lugging 500 lbs. of test weights in 50 lb blocks all day on and off of scales for 10-12 hours a day. I made the princely sum of 9-bucks-an-hour for my troubles at that job. I was also a landscape lighting installer... digging trenches, hundreds of yards of trenches... climbing 80 foot trees with 30 pounds of tools around my waist.

Trust me... I know what it is to earn a paycheck with backstrain and ballsweat.

[Ballbuster1]

Working out is fer queers. I've never exercised and still only weigh in at a buck fiddy five.

I eat plenty and drink as well and never get fat. Why? Because I work my ass off every
day. No sitting for me unless it involves a test drive or writing a bill out.

I do enough during the day, I need rest at night.

[Awful Me]

I exercise because I don't want to die.

I was smoking two and half packs day, was in a bar at least 3 or 4 days a week, drank nothing but softdrinks and had mcdonalds sausage biscuits at least every other day.

When i went to the doctor for a cold the nurse took my blood pressure and left and got the doctor. He rechecked it and asked me if i had had a heart attack yet.

Since i was 29, 6 foot even and about 230 pounds, i knew i was big, but i wasn't huge, and i still felt good, but i do have a family history of blood pressure issues, not to mention, i am probably one of the most high strung/tightly wound people on earth.

So i quit smoking and 6 months late i was 290 pounds. So i quit drinking softdrinks and gave up fast food. Soft drinks actually cut out about half my drinking. On an average night I would put down a dozen crown cokes and half a dozen shots of whatever (usually jaeger). The other the that runs in my family is alcoholism, and high tolerance, but anyway, with out soft drinks i just started drinking straight whisky. Now I appreciate good Whisky and Scotch and will just get a glass or two of straight or on the rocks.

I used to be a work out guy because i liked being huge, a few years back i had an accident in the gym and tore one of the tendons in my elbow, so i dont power lift anymore.

Now i have a few dumb bells, a wobble board, and an elleptical machine....and yoga.

Im 250 now, but i feel better than i have in a looooooong time.

[LiL Yimmy]

Umm... to get in shape and stay that way?

[Lil'GlubGlub]

I need to get in shape. but like many blue collar workers, I work damn hard and am on my feet for 10+ hrs a day. I have fucked up both of my knees due to work accidents and an accident at a store, which left me with a torn MCL. I have arthritis in my left ankle, and both knees.

I also have back problems from many falls over the years and have a history of back spasms.

To top it off I have excisular asthma which only presents itself on really humid days and when I am doing aerobic activities.

my age.....................................27

i will have to admit that over the last few years ive started to sit a little more than i used to, but usually only while im working on the side of a car, or inside a door or something, my knees just couldn't take the kneeling on the concrete anymore..... i keep that for fridays now.... :rolleyes:

about two months ago i did a very brisk walk... about 10-12 blocks... buy the time i got back to the bar i thought i was going to pass the hell out... now i hadn't eaten all day... and had two beers before i decided to walk back to the shop to get more money to drink more and was smoking while i was walking... that may have had something to do with the dizzyness....

[AngryPest]

When I read this threads title and saw Glenn's name All I could think of was that this thread would involve Banjos and Negro's.

[buxotica]

I agree with some of the blue collar guys here about work keeping you in shape. I stayed in shape just by doing my job when I was in construction. Now that I spend most of my day with my ass planted in an office chair or in the car, I have to work out. If I don't I acquire an awful beergut and set of love handles pretty quick.

I hate lifting weights. Never could stick with a program. I prefer running, pushups and hitting a heavy bag. The bag will drop some pounds and build muscle. Great stress relief too. You can pretend you are beating the shit out of people you don't like.

Smoking's the big thing. When I quit that I felt way better.

feel free to punk slap me... I am a common dude... I love fighting with common folk...lol:action-sm


as far as being fit.

My take is simple.

If you are a fat body.....your a fuckup
If you sit at a desk all day.....get off your ass anyway you can.
If you are a laborer.....go home and drink beer.


I have been a football player, hockey player, fighter ( not boxing) the harder kind, rode motocross, and a general psychopath for 28 years... add 23 years of Commercial Plumbing to those joints and broken bones.

Bring on the beers and those dudes that rickshaw you in AC...

I have just enough left in me to hurt anyone that decides they think i suck.


If you are my age and fit!


I pitty you.

Fuckin good time wreckin your body bro.

[PDX909]

I think as long as the work you do is balanced and somewhat aerobic then you can call that exercise, otherwise it's just graft and can in some cases be detrimental to your heath. I used to be an antenna rigger back in the day and that was hard work.. hauling my sorry ass, and a tool kit up a 500-800ft transmission tower and then getting a job done. That was a full body workout, 1 or 2 times a day. Some of the less demanding jobs I've done have done more damage to my body that when I was climbing.... including sitting at a desk as a CAD jockey (numb hands and carpel tunnel FFS) I'm a fat fuck now, 42, disgusted with myself, and I just joined a gym, that (and lots of yardwork) is helping with the weight and the stress

So our friend Mr. Dandy felt a pang of guilt while watching another guy work out. He's worried that perhaps he's not as fit as he might be and he starts a thread like this. It's like a catharsis for him. More than a simply a soul cleansing act, it's also a way for him to both excuse himself for his own sloth while garnering support from his bretheren. It's OK Glenn, you don't have to work out if you don't want. We'll still like you.
