Incorrect, the best way to work out is to sign up for rhis aerobics  class.

There is no correct or incorrect ???
For me best work out is jumping fitness

All those years my daughter's old trampoline  (https://wisepick.org/best-trampoline/#product2)was waiting for me to do my training at home.

I dunno.  I think hustling back to the 4 wheeler because the bear the dogs treed by the house is on it's way down the tree and all you have is a 22 mag is a good way to get exercise without noticing that you are exercising.

A 14 stage match netted me about 15,000 steps and 5,000 calories.

Otherwise it's the treadmill or rowing machine for me.

If my ex took me to that aerobics class instead of lifting weights, maybe she could have gotten me go to the gym more than twice. And I found out out the hard way that even if it feels like nothing, lifting weights can make you sore the next day if you're not used to it. After she piled on more weight for each exercise I still wasn't breaking a sweat. She couldn't believe how easy it was for me, but she knew to quit before I did. I was hurtin' for certain after that.

I was thinking that I never set foot in a gym since except for all the various physical therapies over the years, then I remembered going to a yoga class while I was an inpatient in the hospital. Everyone else was having a good time. My back and other joints cracking and popping with every move seemed to be quite entertaining. Then, as if they weren't laughing enough already, I farted and the whole class just lost it. The yoga instructor said that just meant that I was relaxed and maybe she was right. That wasn't in a gym, but I did a little walking or biking or something in the hospital gym one day until the doctor wanted to see me. It may have been a different time that I was hospitalized, but I went to a gym once.

F#ck exercise .
It's wildly over rated.
 I have never pulled a muscle or put my back out while relaxing on the couch.
Why do you think they invented bipods ?
So you can shoot from a relaxing non stressful position.   ;D

I don't have a "Like" button but I like this. I like a lot of posts that I don't "Like", and I really don't like that. >:(

You don't have one to the left of your quote button?

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, a little green dude once told me "Reboot your computer must you."  When that didn't work he told me "Cookies you clear must."  Maybe cookies are giving you an older format.

I have the word quote with the button to the left of it and that's it. I run CCleaner daily to get rid of all cookies, internet cache, internet history, download history, and a whole list of other things. I don't have a Book to the Face account and yesterday I was wondering if that had anything to do with it. Do they own the rights to Like buttons or something? If not, one of my browser settings or browser extensions is blocking it along with all the other stuff.

Right now I'm blocking googleads.g.doubleclick.net, static.doubleclick.net, www.google-analytics.com, and blocking youtube from setting cookies. Google Analytics and Doubleclick can sell someone else's information to the highest bidder, and everyone else on down to the lowest bidder. They don't need any more of my information than what I already give them. I don't know who i.ytimg.com is but Privacy Badger says they don't appear to be tracking me on this page. But they're here, along with www.youtube.com. And I'm blocking 17 ads on this page so that might be why there's no like button.

Adblock Plus was blocking the like button. As long as I'm willing to put up with the ads the button is there. Problem solved. I could have sworn I tried that months ago and it didn't work.

Thanks for figuring that out, Frank. I haven't had a "Like" button since the get-go either. I figured it might be one of my extensions blocking it, but just haven't bothered to delve into it yet.
I may or may not fix it.  ;D

EDIT: I whitelisted the forum to see and viola: Sir Leg of Peg has a "Likey" button.

If it's up to date, you have all the boxes checked, and you don't have the site whitelisted, either there's something wrong with your Adblock Plus, or it's okay but there's been something wrong with several updated versions of it on a half dozen different browsers on a few computers of mine.

I agree. I put in a new water heater and water softener, and that did me in. I was sore as hell the next day. I pulled something in my arm tightening the shut off valve for the water heater. Tomorrow I have to change oil and filters in all 3 vehicles. That is the equivalent of running a marathon. I want to get all this $h!t done, because a week from Sunday I'm going Trap shooting on the weekends from here on in, until Summer heats up again. I've done enough projects, and gotten enough exercise to last me through the entire Winter. If something breaks, I'm hiring it out!

I fully understand about the project soreness.  It does detract from available time....

I finished my oil change project on all 3 vehicles yesterday. And today I'm paying the price. My back is killing me from crawling under 3 cars. But everything is finished...... Finally! I installed one of those nice quick drain plugs in my Toyota, and it's really nice. No more wrenches, or getting hot oil all over my hands. This is a really nice, well made, quality item.

I like that pic, and ain't it the truth. I've even pulled muscles in my back rolling over in my sleep and could barely move when I woke up. One time I rolled off the bed onto my knees and had use my arms to push on the edge of the bed to stand up. And I'm sure I posted about the time I actually sprained my knee just by squatting down to check my tire pressure. Ugh, I know the "golden years" aren't going to get any better than this either. :(

I try to do exercises 4-5 times a week for half an hour. I started doing this recently, 2 weeks ago. I am more interested not in losing weight, but in improving my health. At work, I sit at the computer. Because of this, my back always hurts. So I want to strengthen the muscles of the whole body. If I exercise regularly, I feel more energetic, active and enduring.  I hope that I will not stop doing exercises, because sometimes I am very lazy, especially after a hard day's work.

I bought one of those back braces to help my posture.
I should have saved my money.
I get exactly the same effect by tightening the rear straps on my shoulder holster.  ;D
It's funny, but it's not an exaggeration.

I used to always go to the gym to keep my body slim. But with the beginning of the epidemic, I started training at home. During quarantine, I realized that I like doing exercises even more at home than in the gym. I like that you don't have to go anywhere, you don't have to wait in line for the right exercise machine, you don't have to smell someone else's sweat and worry that someone is staring at you. At home I have a little sports equipment, but that’s enough. If the weather is good, I practice in the backyard and I like it.
