Dude, excercise is for squares.

... Actually, it's all about Raquetball for real.

I wish I could, but I played way too much basketball in my teens and it messed with my knees...sadly my dunkin' days (*shifts eyes left and right*) are over. So it goes.

BTW just been checking out The Diet, congratulations on that mile stone man, that's real progress.

Nothing beats soccer if you want to really get some exercise in. Of course there is always the risk of having a heart attack from running too much, but either way you are going to lose some weight.

Oh and Kyle, anytime you want a racquetball game come and bring it.

For about five months I'd go to the local YMCA twice a week early in the morning and shot baskets by myself. It was the dumpy Y, there's like four of them in Birmingham, so nobody really went there. It was rundown and scary if you looked at it from a certain perspective. I loved it. I ran up and down the court. Dribbled around. Force myself to make 15 out of 20 threes. Stuff like that. Ocassionaly a dude or two would drop in and we'd play some taps or two on two.

I lost around five pounds and then stopped doing it. The dumpy Y closed about a month later. No one missed it much. I did. Place was great.

Soccer is the best exercise there is! Scrivs, I assume you play field soccer? I only ever play street soccer in a cage, it can get pretty draining when the ball never stops!

Baseball. Damn practices are tiring, running 10 miles "warmup laps" then 100 pushups, 200 situps, up-downs for 20 minutes, and god forbid it being a rainy indoors practice, suicides... once it's game time the whole thing is cake. But for game exercise, football (soccer) is the way to go. Street basketball is good too.

I can't play Soccer. Perhaps when I get to 190lbs. I'll be able to, but Soccer is a hella tough sport on the old cardio. Basketball, while almost as tough, requires far less running. Soccer to me, seems like a never ending sprint.

Any sport that lasts for more than 20 minutes and gets your heart rate up is good for you. Just don't over work yourself. Being over 20 minutes is the important part otherwise your only burning your sugar reserves not the fat reserves.

Well, I can never take the strain of a full field soccer game. I prefer playing in smaller cage matches.

Played some basketball tonight after not playing for well over a week. Felt really good. But I should have jogged afterwards because I don't feel like I got a great workout.
