Hitting a punching bag til I couldn't anymore and when that was all done, wall sits til I couldn't anymore. The first three I went as hard and fast as I could. Best shape I've ever been in.

>I lost 40 lbs after high school by working out Nice work. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it should be noted for anyone struggling to lose weight: Weight loss is 99% diet (calories in, calories out).

Or find a sport and find exercises to improve it. That's what I did. Soccer is fun, we often lose, but I love my team. We're pretty much considered the best sportsmen in our league (everyone respects us and enjoys playing with us because we treat everyone well, whether we're winning or losing). I took up running so I could play better. I took up BJJ (individual rather than team sport) as a way to fill my evenings, an…

Yeah, I have been doing BJJ for 8 years and just got my black belt. Recently started kickboxing too. On the side I jog and lift weights and do a handful of other sports for fun. I think of it as "training" as opposed to "exercise".

Congrats. I'm still a white belt and will probably remain one. They go to a gym up in Atlanta when they want to test and award belts, on a Saturday, and it almost always coincides with a soccer game. Priorities. :)
