Q: Do you exercise at all in China? Yes, you...you lazy SOB!

Well, Summer is just around the corner and when you go the beach you usually see two types of Chinese people:

 

1) Porky - Not usually obese but obviously much fatter than normal Chinese people. Sometimes these guys get confused with "strong" because Chinese aren't really used to seeing muscular large men (talking like U.S.A. bodybuilding)... maybe took a little bit more than a liking to MacDonald's and KFC.

 

2) Sticks - These are the other side of the spectrum. Extremely thin, 100 pounds soaking wet, a strong breeze will blow them over. Favorites foods include "rice" and "more rice".

 

You will rarely see some full figured fit women (will not often anyway) or decently sized muscular Chinese men. I figure most Chinese don't like working out much... and when I do see them in the gym... they don't work out hard.

 

I go to the gym and do a good combination of weights and cardio. For the past month or so, I been going to the gym in the morning (weekdays) for about 1.5 hours and then working out in my home gym (evenings) for another 45 minutes each day. Just trying to break some previous personal records and get in shape for some trips.

 

So what about you? Do you exercise at all? What kind of exercise do you do? Got any goals for the Summer? Or are you just a lazy sloth bastard?

I do aerobics in my room - a friend of mine at home allows me to SKYPE into her morning class at the weekend.

It is a bit of a challenge at times.

My nearby gym was full of pot-bellied gawpers so i gave up going there.

 

I also occasionally exercise my wit, as i see many other posters here do surprise

I go to the gym 4-5 times a week, and do a mix of cardio and lifting. I also walk most places I go, because most places I go to on a daily basis are within walking distance and not worth trying to find a taxi or wait for a bus so I get a lot of exercise I think.

 

I'd like to lose my belly fat and be able to flash a six pack at the beach but it isn't going to happen with all the beer I drink.

 

Mostly my only goal is feeling healthy and the stress relief I get from it.

 

 

 

 

Robk:

Yeah, I am trying to get abs (I got a 4-pack developing). But it is tough for me to not eat the food I like and drink beer.

I go through phases. Ill Run like crazy and be super fit. Other times like now i sit on the couch and get super fat. I think beer belly doesnt really explain what I am packing.

Need.to start running again but it raining......

Robk:

Haha... that's what happens to me too. This is one of those times where I feel like getting super fit because I feel like crap if I am out of shape for the hot season. Also, this time of year can get pretty stressful (the rush before summer vacation).

 

I hate treadmills, I prefer running outside but it doesn't work too well in China.

 

You know what someone should invent? A treadmill with a monitor or something that makes it feel like you are actually running through or from something. Like running through the ghetto and cops are chasing you... or running from a tiger or something... That would make me love treadmills.

 

The next big business idea?

@diver - I am kind of a hybrid jock/geek so I know all about video games. You are probably talking about wii sports or something. That is just like simple tennis or badminton. There is stuff like dace/dance revolution but again it is really just jumping around. Some decent boxing ones...

 

This stuff is still pretty good but it is about equal to swatting a fly or playing hop scotch. When a video game system comes out that takes this but moves it to the next level, like running, throwing, lifting, punching, kicking etc. ... that's what we are talking about.

Though my fat belly hasn't changed much in about 10 years, so something isn't too wrong.

Funny you should mention this...I just had one of those gym experiences where you have to kick a landed whale off of some equipment because he is dicking around on his WeiXin on some of the few good machinese in the place, like that will get the 150 extra lbs off of him. I never used to be a gym snob...my motto was, 'care about your own workout, it's the only one that matters.' But that was before I had to deal with these rude people who will hop on the best equipment in the gym and whip put their phones. 

 

I usually run 4-5 times a week (marathon training), and work out my back and arms on days that I don't run. I am famous in my gym as the woman who works out so hard that she actually breaks a sweat. Every so often I fall out of shape, if I have an injury. I don't even hate the extra weight as much as I do being out of shape and knowing that getting back to fitness will be painful.

I swear to God, it isn't even for my health. I would have killed someone ages ago if I ddn't run the aggravation out of myself.

Robk:

Yeah, I know the feeling.

 

There is another group of females that magically went in the morning after the word got out that a few foreigners worked out in the morning. They are annoying as hell and put all their drinks and bags on the workout benches. Plus they keep making weird noises when working out... can't win them all.

 

I also noticed that most Chinese people are afraid of sweating while they workout. I work out pretty hard and sweat quite a bit... while they all look like they just got there.

While me and the guy I am training are working out non-stop for basically an hour and half and watching them sit around playing with their phones.

Usually the Chinese are shy because they foreigner out performs them again without even really trying. I used to go to the gym but it was so dirty I was afraid of getting a skin disease. Plus the Chinese women were funny with their noises and gang up on the foreigner. Luckily I never left anything in a locker there, for sure they would have stolen it.

   I already had an exercise bike so I found a total gym used online and do cardio three times a week and total gym four times a week. It beats all the dirt, moans and groans when they're lifting only ten kilos.

I go to the gym 2-5 times per week depending how busy I am. I usually do about an hour and half, roughly an hour of lifting and 20-30 minutes of cardio and a few minutes of stretching. I go swimming maybe once or twice a month as well and really would go more if I had the time. I also walk a fair bit, probably average 1-2 km per day which may or may not be healthy because that involves breathing the air outside. Overall, my health has improved significantly since I started working out again about a year and a half ago and I feel great physically and mentally.From my experience, a regular exercise regimen is one of the most positive things a person can do to improve quality of life, self-confidence and maintain a healthy outlook on life. 

Robk:

Yeah, I strongly agree. Health is truly the most important thing. I think, in China especially, working out shouldn't just be a recreational activity... it is a damn necessity.

 

Working helps remedy a lot of things while in China. Stress, builds confidence for all those stares and whispers, stronger body to take on the pollution, poor food quality... and the ladies!

Well, there's RobK:

And there's Mike:

And, there's real people who never compare themselves to others:

There's me:

There's Vicky:

ScotsAlan:

Gouxoing:

Since when, after kindergarten, is it important to compare anything to anything else?

If you didn't have external things (car, apartment, money), what do you have to show who and what you are? Talent? Culture? Sophistication? Intelligence? Charm?

Jocks in high school have always been the "babe-magnet" but success is the "babe-magnet" afterwards.

You know that if you don't keep up your routine that you'll regress and be worse off afterwards. So, what's the point in bragging about what you're doing here and now? What does it matter what others do or don't do? Does your identity really revolve around whether your are conceptually "better" than others? 

Do you need a hug? Can you not accept yourself as you are, or are you that vain and gullible that you need a marketer to tell you what you should look like and believe?

Like charity, if you're going to do something, do it for the sake of the feeling it gives you and not for the adulation and accolades.

So, what's with the need to constantly compare your life and situation with others? (There's a psychological term for it, but I'll keep that safely zipped in my pants in anticipation of whether or not you can figure it out: hint: Hummer)

icnif77:

I agree with you on 'comparing'. I find it moronic to exaggerate or lie on anon board. 

When I tell lie, I like to see the reaction of people 'swallowing' the thing.

Here I'm usually just describing what I do or what I did. I'm aware I'm a bit different than usual people, so I was accused 'straight of lying' or asked to post the 'pic of the beast'.

When I challenged poster to tell when I lied, no reply. And Royceh as gent as he is, he got the pic my beast.

How about this: going to the gym can also become an addiction (warning! Big words coming up! Big words hurt! Hurt!!). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) will tell you that. What gets me is that gym-addicts are just like pot-heads - they can't STFU about it.

The protein shakes, the carbs, the disappearing penis...if you can't accept yourself for who and what you are, but have to seek outside approval, you've got a neurosis (see big word book above).

Then I was thinking...maybe China is where all of the failed jocks have to come because they couldn't hack not being the center of attention in the grown-up world like they were in high school. Hear me out before the 'roid rage starts...

1) Do you need and seek out other people's approval of your physical state?

2) Do you take pictures and videos of yourself working out?

3) Do you have other outlets for aggression/frustration but go to the gym looking for a fight?

4) Do you constantly compare yourselves to others (locker-room sneak-peek)?

5) Do you need material possessions to feel like you "fit in"?

6) Do your regular eating habits revolve around some numbers that you have to meet (Type 1 Diabetes aside)?

7) Do you find yourself physically reacting to tense situations (fight-or-flight) or do you stop to mentally evaluate a situation?

8) Do you want to challenge me, right here, right now, to some sort of physical contest?

 

All in the DSM.

4) Do you constantly compare yourselves to others (locker-room sneak-peek)? Only mentally based on age, weight, and lifts (be it how many times and/or how much)

5) Do you need material possessions to feel like you "fit in"? not really, but I do wear attire for success.

6) Do your regular eating habits revolve around some numbers that you have to meet (Type 1 Diabetes aside)? No, but as I age my metabolism continues to slow down. So, I need to be more keen on what I eat.

7) Do you find yourself physically reacting to tense situations (fight-or-flight) or do you stop to mentally evaluate a situation? usually stop and evaluate.

8) Do you want to challenge me, right here, right now, to some sort of physical contest? Not really.

I lost 100+ lbs in China. Differences in diet, lifestyle (no vehicle in China; had to walk to the bus station, walk forever, etc), and sexual activity.

 

Sometimes I'd have sex for 9 hours straight. It's easy to lose a lot of weight that way. Nonstop sex sessions... I just... I can't help myself.

And now you're not in China you have to continue this habit.   Alone.
