Anybody ever use this stuff? Is it any good? Is there something better? I like my ride to always smell fresh and don't want any of those stinky air fresheners gagging me. Just something that makes the thing smell new or clean. Suggestions? Comments? I want to order something today so let's hear it.
 
never tried that one. I do use Ron's Odor Terminator (order from autoint.com) and that stuff is the bomb. I've used it all over the house and the car and it leaves either no scent or a slight chlorine like odor.

I've always excersized to keep my heart and lungs in good shape.

Currently my workout routine includes:

  • 30 minutes on NordicTrack treadmill, 4mph, incline 12 (daily)
  • Walk the dog, 2.5 miles, fast pace (3 days a week)
  • 50 pushups daily
  • Yoga-style stretches (every other day)

Years ago (before we had 4 kids!) I did power-lifting at Gold's Gym 5 days a week. Loved it!

When I was in my 30's, I ran in 10k's, Half-marathons, Triathalons, etc. I've slowed down a bit but still like keeping cardio/vascular/pulmonary in shape!:biggrin:

What's your workout routine?
 
I first start the day off with a cold shower. It builds a toughness groove for the battles I will face for the day :Swordfight:

I then take my dog on a 3 mile walk(fast pace) 40 minutes is the usuall time frame. I do this 360/365 days a year. I like to take our walk a little before sunrise and meditate with God during that time and ask him to guide and direct me for this day :Innocent:

I then move to weights. I curl a 12oz can of mountain dew 2-3 times a day along with a 5 hour energy or two :Dancing Dot:
 
Well I just started back up at the gym after x-mas...had been abut 3 months since I had been there. Just started playing hockey again too for the first time since high school (18yrs)! LOL, feels great to be back at it though and I found muscles I forgot I had! SO SORE!!! :D

I'm really not in bad shape at all, just a little more flab around the gut than I'd like from sitting at a desk 40hrs a week and eating junk.

My current workout it set up as follows...though some times it gets messed up when things come up. My knees are shot so I don't really do much running. hockey is currently taking place of most my cardio right now. ;)

M: Chest/Tri
T: Core work out and cardio (30+min on Elliptical or Arc trainer)
W: Shoulders
T: Legs and cardio (30+min on elliptical or Arc trainer)
F: Back/biceps
S:Cardio or off day
S Off


It's amazing how much more motivation you have when you work out and how much it lifts your morale too! :thumbup:
 
I simply strap on my running shoes and start putting one foot in front of the other. I am normally on some sort of training program, so I do what it tells me to do, sometimes it's interval training, sometimes it's just a nice jog and sometimes it's a tempo run, but it's always running.
 
4 day split.

I workout muscle groups that generally do not conflict with eachother, for example when I see people train back and biceps it just doesnt seem logical, when you train back your biceps are getting worked as well. Do them on separate days.

Each day is based around 1 major movement, either Squat, Deadlift, Bench or standing military press and then usually 2 other movements after that. I dont believe in doing 6 excercises to hit a muscle group. Do your damage than go home and rest.

Mon - Chest and Bicep (main movement is bech press)
Tuesday - Legs (main movement is squat)

Thursday - Shoulders (main movement is military press)
Friday - Back and Tricep (main movement is deadlift)

People try to balance strength and tone by doing the same type of excercises for both... not really ideal.

If you want a ripped chest doing heavy bench press wont do much, but if you want strength its ideal. Balance out both to get the best of both worlds.

My cardio type stuff is basically my pre workout warmup, bike, treadmill and stretching daily.

Weight lifting is a lot like detailing cars. Everyone has their way of doing it and it crazy how much different info you get form trainer to trainer. Like yourself, I used to target specific muscle groups each day for the longest time. Then I started to talk with a lot of other guys and trainers at the gym and got conflicting info. Yeah when you work your back (say lat pull downs) you are also working your biceps, though not as directly as doing a curl. So why not just do them on the same day since you are already working them a fair amount? I guess I see both sides to it and I'm still on the fence over which way is best. For now I will usually switch it up every month or so. I do know that when I combine muscle groups that the secondary muscle group is fatigued when I go to work it which keeps me from lifting as much as I normally could.

Good to see we are all staying in shape though! :)
 
I was doing a High Intensity workout, 80% of my max, 1 set per muscle group 2 or 3 times a week. Was getting tired of that so I'm starting back to my favorite 4 day split (10,8,6 reps) next week. Plan on doing that for 2 months then to a 8,6,4 rep routine (great for putting on mass). :clap:
 
I hit the gym with my lovely wife every day M-F that I don't have too much homework. I hate cardio so don't do as much as I should. The doctor wants me to do high intensity interval cardio 3x per week for 20-30 minutes. I hate cardio.

I used to lift heavy: pyramid sets of higher weights and lower reps, but now in my advancing years I have switched to sets with lower weights and higher reps. Did I mention I hate cardio? Well anyway I still try to get some cardio in every week, if for no other reason than to keep up with my wife!

+1. It's also interesting how everything comes back around. 10 years ago, if you talked about kettle balls and core workouts, people would think you needed a drug test. Now it's back "in," that and "boot camp" workouts.

I also no longer train for mass, I'm lucky if I can work out 3 times per week. I usually do a cardio warmup for about 10-20 mins., work a muscle group, then finish with the real cardio, forcing my body to burn more fat. I used to use a road bike for cardio, but it's now too dangerous on the streets, and my knees are shot, so it's ellipticals and the tread mill for me. I like to keep the blood flowing in the same area when I work out, so I'll do chest/back, arms/shoulders, legs, etc. type workouts.

For me, symmetry has always been more important. If you take your shirt off at a beach or a lake etc., on a hot summer's day, people are going to say "wow he looks good," they're not going to say "I'll bet he can bench 350!" I used to care how much I could lift, because it does have some relationship to size, but not anymore. JMTC.:biggrin:
 
Because I live in the wilderness, the gym is too far to get to consistently. Years back I invested in a Bowflex, a slantboard and asst. dumbbells. I try to hit the weights a few times a week mixed w/ hiking and running. Some health issues over last winter had me off everything and I gained a lot of weight. I got back into it slowly this spring and recently started the P90X that you see on TV. Man what a serious workout. If you are not in decent shape to start you don't want to even try this. But the results have been stellar for me, dropped 20 lbs in the first 5 weeks, 7 weeks to go. Having great results with putting on muscle and getting some strength as well. Highly reccommend it to anyone looking for a challenge!! Also it's kinda fun with lot's of variation. For once, "as seen on TV" isn't BS!!

My fiancee has the P90X and can definitely say it works well.....and I love watching her do the Yogo one! :soldier:
 
One of my big motivations for detailing is the aerobic workout from detailing cars! After a full detail on a trashed Suburban, I just ran a marathon!!!!:banghead::cornut:
 
As I get older.............. and a year removed from knee surgery, I just want to be able to move well and keep working at a high level. I still do the weights fairly consistantly (3-4 days a week) but now that my knee is doing better I am going to get a Thai banana bag to do kicking and punching work along with body weight movements in my shop(have the room) as anyone who has tried it do six count push-ups were you drop down, kick your legs out then complete a push-up then squat back to your starting position, when I was lighter(240lbs) and in better shape I could do 30-40 straight....... now 10-12 gets me puffing pretty good and beside sparring and grappling this kind of workout is the toughest imho.
 
When the weather is warm here in the northeast, I run for 2 miles in the am. I also do pushups and cruches every morning. I lost 40 pounds about 2 years ago, and this s how I keep it off.
 
I put this together many years ago, my routine now is walk the dog each day 30-45 mins and an excersize bike 1 hour 3 days a week. If the rest of this program is of interest PM me and I'll pass it on
