Let's get physical! (Workout thread)

I used to do karate before training schedules and laboratory schedules started crashing. I kind of want to try krav maga or kickboxing when the summer is over, though. That, or go back to trying olympic wrestling again, which I haven't done for over 10 years now but was really fun.

Either way, I'll be spending a lot of my summer holidays at the gym. I need to get back in shape regardless of what I decide to do next semester. x.x

I usually go to the gym twice a week. But can't jog because of my calfs...they get all stiff and hurts like hell.

I think that might just be them being not used to it. I had that problem almost half a year ago when I started running. My calfs were the only part of my body that started to struggle after just 1 km. After doing a 2 km run 3 times a week for a month it disappeared though. With some good running shoes you should be fine, as long as you don't have any other issues with how you run, which you can check up at a qualified... runguy (gyms usually have one)

Up until the onset of winter here in New Zealand, I was cycling about 14km and running 3km every day as part of my daily commute (as I don't own a car).
I find it helps to integrate your physical workout into your daily routine so ones workout commitments don't get left behind in a haze of self indulgence/cbfness..

I'm a certified PT and have been pretty avid in the gym for about 8 years... so if anyone has any questions i'd be happy to answer some about my routine, diet, etc.
