Sit ups > Press Ups

December 30th, 2009 by in Random

That’s right, I like sit ups (AKA crunches etc) better than press ups. Press ups are too easy, and sit ups tend to tire me out. I like it cos of this, as you can easily do as many as 100 before bed, it tires you out, so you can just sleep easier and deeper. I personally do around 30 per night, though lately I’m tending to just do as many until it starts to hurt.

Do be careful on how many you do, as it can bruise your muscles if they aren’t used to it. Sit ups do make your stomach level out quicker than press ups also.

Why do we continue?

December 29th, 2009 by in Random

Alot of things in this world are unkind and have negative effects on the average human, so I ask, why do we continue? Some don’t, some end it while they still can, yet others keep trundling onwards and upwards. Every human on this planet knows that death will come to them, so why do they continue? As it is, it does seem that everything that they do is futile, they won’t be remembered for it, they won’t be praised for it ’til long after they are gone.

I have come to a conclusion, it is for this reason that we have selfish people on this earth, as they realise this fact, that anything they do is futile, and so they do everything for themselves, whether it is to make themselves more comfortable, or simply the betterment of themselves.

This is also the reason we have stupid and insane people on this earth, the people who walk door to door trying to shove thier belief down others throats, these people are so scared of the inevitable that they mutter words into the air, and hope for a salvation which is never forthcoming and believe and celebrate in traditions thousands of years old.

And then of course, you have the genious, the musician, the scientist, the scholar, the artist, these people are the people on this earth who have had to come to terms with thier fate and have accepted it, and decided to make themselves great.

The question is, which are you, and why do we continue?

Run don’t walk!

December 28th, 2009 by in Random

Houses, Stairs, Walls, Floors, Outside, Inside, if you’re fortunate enough to possess a pair of legs, you have the ability to walk, or run! Of course, pick good times to do these things, don’t run in a crowded space where you’re liable to run into things or people and piss them off, but do it on empty or near empty streets, fields, etc. Running doesn’t require much effort really, and is a great way to build your leg muscles!

I find it helps to run or even walk fast (eh, whatever gets you sweating is good :) ) if you have music with a beat. I recently bought the “Ministry of Sound: One” album which has 3 CD’s and is great for this type of thing, if you have an iPod, MP3, MP4 player, etc, whack this album on it, start from #1 and work through it, it’s great! If you’re not into this type of music (HOW COULD YOU?!?!) then find something with your equivalent and post it as a comment! :)

My Personal favourites to run and walk to are:

Chemical Brothers Hey Boy Hey Girl
Underworld Born Slippy
Dizzee Rascal Bonkers
Fedde Le grande put your hands up
Benny Benassi Satisfaction
The Shapeshifters Lolas Theme
Alice Deejay better off alone

Etc, these with regular beats are good, as you an put your feet down on the beats, so walk to the beat, run to the beat etc

Fitness

December 26th, 2009 by in Random

I’m not really the fitness type of person, but i’m gonna be doing some blog posts on fitness etc, maybe put them in a fitness section or something. I’m not gonna be all like “Oh, it’s easy, I lost 9000 stone in 2 weeks”, as that is not true, helps no-one, and also confuses people whether to use imperial or metric ;)

I may or may not make posts here, but it may be sporadic..
