Glad to hear you're working it back in. Also, have you tried high-intensity interval training? I'm not quite sure what that is, I feel lke I've done something similar on an eliptical but I may be way off. You've probably done interval training on an elliptical (ie: a period of fast running followed by a period of slow running). High-intensity interval training is basically a circuit of usually about 8 exercises, broken into two groups. You basically go from circuit to circuit, doing the exercises at max intensity for 20 seconds, then resting for 10. It's really intense, but if you want to go that rout, I highly, highly recommend you get a professional to get you started. No one should be doing max intensity working out without making sure every bit of their fundamentals are down.

This thread was hilarious. I have nothing more to add because everyone that responded to the outright idiotic statements about dating being "creepy" did a helluva job.
There is someone out there for everyone and you will never find it if you don't make yourself available. Wayne Gretzky said it best, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Thanks man, it's somehting I'd be into eventually but right now, just getting moving on the regular is the priority. I have a tendency to be sedentary, but once in a while get really inspired and go for a run or hit the weights real hard, too hard, then be crazy sore or hurt myself and need to chill out for a week or two. I have this weird all-or-nothing thing in a lot of facets of my life, so I'm trying to combat that now and be more moderate in all areas.

I have this weird all-or-nothing thing in a lot of facets of my life, so I'm trying to combat that now and be more moderate in all areas. Just to clarify, there are easier beginner routes to HIIT that I think are worth a shot once or twice a week. Walk/lightly jog at a normal pace for five minutes to warm up, run for 30 seconds, return to that normal pace for another minute, run again for thirty seconds, normal pace minute, run 30 seconds, and then cool down. It's a short, quick use of time on a treadmill that will keep your heart beating all day, helping you burn fat quicker. Again, bring it up next time you speak to a professional or health expert, but it's something that's really helped me burn fat and lose weight quickly.

Honestly, I'm a touch skeptical about HIIT being the best for fat loss. Fat is targeted as an energy source at lower levels of your maximum heart rate, but HIIT encourages bursts of activity that'd go well beyond it. So from a metabolic standpoint, I'm not sure it's as targeted as they claim. But, that said, if you work out hard, you're going to burn more calories. If you're smart with your diet, you wont' take in as many as you burn and thus will have to convert stored energy from fat into energy. But yeah, if you're starting to work out on a regular basis, go slow and get used to it first. And I'll always tell people that the amount of weight you lift is the last thing you should worry about. IF you're not in true control, then you're not doing any good, and the only way to be in true control is to use stellar form.

Since apparently we can change ourselves like this, I myself will try to turn black. If I think hard enough, I will darken.

I understand your skepticism, but I will say probably the biggest advantage of HITT is that its kept my workouts from plateauing in helps for fat loss. I do it on Tuesdays and Fridays, and on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday I do regular jogging (5 minute warmup, 15 minute brisk pace, 5 minute cool down) and having HITT in the mix with those has increased my results.

I do it on Tuesdays and Fridays, and on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday I do regular jogging (5 minute warmup, 15 minute brisk pace, 5 minute cool down) and having HITT in the mix with those has increased my results. New workouts can do that and I appreciate that, it's just that the fitness industry is so rife with buzzwords and marketing hooplah that I basically have to approach every buzzword or fad skeptically, like with "muscle confusion" or things of that nature. In your case, where plateauing is an issue, the question I would ask would be whether HIIT is the reason for the change, or if you'd get the same results by mixing up your workout another way, like how power lifters will simply add more weight or reps. The body does adapt if you don't vary the workout (obviously, it's goal is to perform work with the least amount of energy expended), but varying doesn't have to involve a drastic change, and often any simple workout would have the same effect as any of the buzzy trends. So the question remains of whether HIIT really leads to better fat loss, or if it's just one of many methods to keep you working out and not fall victim to a plateau effect. That's not to say it doesn't work, mind you. They are effective, but whether they are more effective than anything else is always an issue for me, that and setting people along a more intense path before they're ready can be dangerous. HIIT also, perhaps unfairly, brings up impressions of a Crossfit workout to me, which has a deservedly terrible reputation.

you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. -Michael Scott No offense to both of you but, seriously wtf? Things don't work out so young people nowadays just quit or go down the path of least resistance? C'mon guys seriously. If you have a female friend you can talk to, go to them for some tips on what to do or something. Gotta make an effort here. Honestly would take a hell of a lot less effort to go out and find some companionship than to convince yourself you are asexual or into dudes. Remember, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take-Wayne Gretzky"-Michael Scott

Eh... let me say this. "Creepy" is entirely subjective, and where the line between "flirting" and "being a creep" is can vary from person to person, and from situation to situation. For every Rico Suave who is flirting, there is a Howard Wallowitz trying the same lines and coming off as creepy.
*shrug* But yeah, you wanna be celibate, not asexual.

That's why I'm hoping to stop. Maybe this time, my sexuality will go away (I can only hope), and I can finally get the freak over it. It's passé, so dreary, so dumb. My libido is nothing more than a stupid drug-like dopamine-cycle. Hopefully, this piece of crap is overwith. ASR all the way! I don't think it works that way. I don't think natural human sexuality is something you can just make go away. Watch the Chyna sex tape enough times and I guarantee you'll never want to have sexual desires again.

Are those back yet? I feel they should be a thing again. I live in an area that's like 75% African American, and the seem to be back for females, but dudes aren't rocking them. Dreads seem to be getting more popular though, as does longer hair in general for men.

Not sure of the exact year, but I believe it was sometime between late 1992 and early 1995, feminists convinced society that sexual harassment is a bad thing, thus it was better to err on the side of caution rather than risk saying something that could be creepy. Before then, it was more acceptable to take risks to try to get a date. Not that sexual harassment was somehow good in the 80s or earlier, just that society felt it was more worth it to ask a woman out than worrying about being creepy.
This is the single most wrong, incorrect, inaccurate, completely untrue post in the entire history of this forum. Thread is now officially fan-fiction. This was the point where the thread went from 'what the f***?' to 'f*** this.'
