I am out of shape - but not in the usual way?

So, I found out how out of shape I am. The day before yesterday, me and my friends went Laser Tag, which is a game where you shine people in the eyes with lasers like your mum told you not to do. Anyways, it's been two days, and the tops of my thighs are in EXTREME PAIN. Jesus, I didn't pull anything, but it hurts like hell. And I used to play footy (...I played a season of it...)

How did I get so out of shape? I guess it was easy enough. I mean, I don't look out of shape. I'm not defined or anything, but my legs are all muscle, and my upper body is fairly solid. I don't exactly look fit, but I don't look slobby. I guess that's how I managed to be so useless. I play three rounds of LT, now my thighs are burnin'. I can't properly sit down or stand up without it hurting. Also, my cardio has never been good. I ALWAYS get winded easily. Even when I was more in-shape, my cardio has always been rubbish.

I don't have a treadmill, and the thought of running without one is dreadful. I would go biking, but I never have the time for it. Plus, there's shitty bike riding terrain where I live.

On a good note, yesterday I started up my nightly workout routine of ten really slow pushups (it hurts, shut up) and twenty sit-ups.

I know that doing this at night sort of doesn't benefit much, and I'm not doing that much, but it should be enough for tone, right? That's all I really care for. I mean, a slight improvement in mass is okay, but I don't want a new wardrobe.

Well, that's all for today's post. Have a good one!

  2. All you need to do is start a routine and stick with it. You will build the cardio over time.

  4. Don't worry, I share your exact same issues. My cardio is so poor, I swear when I eat. Well not really, but I can see it getting that bad later on. Just buy a cheap exercise bike like I did.
