Your fitness regime

[EugeneSmasher]

Just thought I'd start a thread on this. Especially for drummers . How do you maintain your fitness?

Personally, I do 3 sets of slow push-ups a day, and I increase these sets by 1 every week. I like slow push-ups because they won't cause injury to joints, but also are more difficult and so trains your muscles more.

I used to do weight-lifting but I prefer to be able to workout anywhere I am, so push-ups for me is the way to go . Furthermore, push-ups also train the abdominal muscles and shoulders, not just the biceps.

Let's share!

Usually its the weights first.

Then 3 sets of : 100 push-ups, 75 crunches, 25 crunches(different type), 50 squats.

With breaks in between sets definitely. Haha, if not I superman already.

Crozzfire... I'd wanna see your muscles man!

Anyone does 3-limb push-ups? I have to do it this way because my right foot's been giving me nonstop problems.

 

[crozzfire]

No la, losing its shape already. I slacked for almost a year, so now I'm trying to train everything back. But still hard man cause my aim is for more toned muscles rather than more buffed muscles.

I think I'm used to such routines due to my secondary's cca la. Super fierce one, scheduled training. But those days are over, so the laziness got the better of me! Damn!

I work-out twice a day, 4-5 times a week.

I would usually run in the morning if my school starts late. Then, hit the gym during the long breaks in between classes. If my school starts early I would run during the lunch break, then go for classes, then go gym after school ends. On days that I'm too lazy to go gym, I'd just work out at home.

My runs are between 5k to 10k. Last year, while training for the SCHM I hit 20.4k on my LSD run. Gym routines are the usual lah. Bench press, free weights, etc. I concentrate on only the upper body. I do light-med weights with alot of repetitions.Prevents me from bulking up too much because my primary sport is still running. On days that I work out at home, I do core-training. Sit-ups, side-bridges, planks etc..

 

[vickomaniac]

it's after the exams so im back to exercising.

50 push-ups, but lower body flat on ground.
30 bicep curls,
30 tricep extentions,
30 burpees,
30 crunches.

and i'm gonna take up taekwondo again since im turning 16 early next year and i can finally get my dan ( black belt) because i've been holding onto my poom (junior black) for 8 years since i was 7.

yay

I do cardio and weights at the gym 3 times a week and I play badminton with a bunch of musicians once a week.

I don't run, cuz I reserve my knees for badminton! Haha!

The weights I do are more for toning, but I do some exercises that are important to drummers. Wrist curls for forearms, bicep curls, tricep pushdown, lat pulldowns, seated rows, toe/foot curls for the shin, calf extensions, quad extensions, hamstring curls and ab crunches to support the lower back.

But above all, I stretch everyday. My physio-therapist says that drumming is a bit athletic, so I have to treat my body like an athlete's.

 

[shredded]

for me, i'll hit the gym 1-2 times a week, running 5-10km 3times a week, and swim once a fortnight. i use my camp's facilities though.

 

[DarkRed]

i try to make it to the gym twice a week, each time jog for half hour then do some weights.

more for 'maintenance', as i observe tt my midsection is starting to match the curvature of my bass

 

[shinobi]

my fitness regime comprises of admitting that i lack fitness and then later justifying my actions with excuses.

every day that i do not step backwards is a triumph
