Who's into it? What're your goals? Do you not care? Do you want motivation to start? Do you have questions about the subject?
I'm no fitness guru but I know we have some members who are.
Atm I'm into running, 5k's feel right for me. I also do a bit of callisthenics every other night.
-
I work out often to try and improve my physical shape further. I hold an athletic build and aim for abdominal muscles (abs) and general arm strength.
I've lifted barbells, dumbbells, kettle-bells and trained with ankle-weights. Currently I've dropped the barbells and continue with the other 3 to help me improve on the basketball court.
I don't do running and up until recently I've been eating junk-food which fucks my body up nicely.
My stamina is poor but my hops and hang-time are above average.
6'2" and can cling on the 10ft rims.

I do none of this as I am lazy, but I am skinny does that count?:)

I will try but not in a gym because I'm shy around people I don't know and I'm a bit shy too.
p.s I'm a fat

Don't be shy or nervous when going to the gym. If you consider yourself fat and are willing to lose weight then there's no reason for you to not go gym, and if anyone puts you off then they're stupid because that's the whole reason you've showed up.

I try maybe sooner or later if a go I'll try something easy

I am a runner track and cross country. My main event is the mile or 1500 meters, I'm going to be running in college in two years at a division one school I just don't know which one yet. I'm not super thin or lanky but I'm also not built I have enough muscle but I'm still only 146lbs. I run about 50 miles a week with a long run at 13miles every sunday.

What's your pb for your sunday run?
-
Last summer I was running 7 km at a pace of 4.8 minutes / km (so around 34 minutes of continuous running) which is a pretty high pace for that distance, I was doing this 3x week before I injured my leg joint.
Reason I ran was because I liked being surrounded by nature (I ran in a park) and exercise + progress made me happy.
Anyways, because of the injury I had to stop running for a while and I got into powerlifting, I've been doing that ever since. Gained like 6 kg of muscle and a good bit of strength from it, although I'm far from reaching my goals.

I hurt my knee when i was 21 and couldn't do my run anymore now i swim for my cardio. I really like to swim in the ocean for the same reason i like being outside and sometimes i surf instead its a good all around fitness and core building sport. best of all its all low impact on the knees.

Besides my daily training for performance I use to do once in two days intense workout (training to exhaustion) only callisthenics and with small weight dumbbells (4kg).
Many do not agree to this type of training as it is risky:
1. You can easily over train if you do not have a well planned schedule.
2. Muscle fibers can get damaged if you do not have a proper nutrition.
3. Vitamins with energizing role are required.
Pluses:
1. Fast results (I don't know if this is available for everybody, I am a mesomorphous).
2. It helps me for endurance (an essential characteristic for a fighter)
3. It doesn't grow muscle mass that much as a powerlifter, for e.g., but it defines each muscle group that you workout.
So instead of looking like this:

You will rather look like this:

What does it consist of?: "Work until you can't rise your hand, and then do 3 more repeats." (In this case if you work for arms, but it applies to every muscle)
-
Lol you won't ever look like this unless you're actually making it your life's goal, you won't wake up one day realizing "oh no what did I turn into". That professional bodybuilding look requires a very specific way of training and a very specific way of dieting.
So instead of looking like this:

Also that second pic of yours doesn't seem like a goal to me, it's pretty average and you can achieve way better with calisthenics. That guy has barely any muscle mass lol and needs to grow some body hair.

I'm a runner. i don't know how but my stamina is really good. I can out of no where run 8km at a very fast pace and not feel tired or exhausted until like the final km or so
-
Goal: Build mass.
I enjoy going to the gym.
-

What's the point in waiting? If you want to gain muscle then you should start gym courses as soon as possible.

True!! But ive been quiet busy with the studies and will be for atleast one more year....so im saving this stuff for later
Giving an hour and a half to gym each day is not what i can afford rn

Ah, well it'd be nice for you to join a gym by the end of next year if you're still willing to train your body.
You don't even need to go gym, if you can afford the equipment you can set it up at home.
I don't visit the gym, I train in my room.
-
Oh thnx for the advice....i will consider that!!
Maybe after the exams next month..ill buy some equipment
-

And if you don't want to spend money on equipment you can do calisthenics with added weight. (Can be anything from books to rice bags)
However equipment is not that extremely expensive.

What's your pb for your sunday run?
It's not really meant to be a timed workout but I keep track of the paces I hit and the fastest time on my watch for the run is 1 hour 14 minutes and 12 seconds. My best 5k is 16:07 and my 1500 is 4:03 those are the times i'm more proud of.

@Vreg
Those were some suggestive photos. So they don't have to reflect the truth, but to show exaggerated results so he can clearly make the difference between the two paths.
Those were some quick google images search anyway.
As I said, there doesn't have to be mass. Calisthenics(+intense workout) are not the way of gaining mass, but definition of muscles.
Here is a representative photo that I found only for you, spent much more time to find it than I did for the others:
(http://i.imgur.com/Icu6s1n.png)
So Mars, you won't look like any of those 2 guys with the two ways of training. You have to set your body-type goal and then find the type of training for that shape.

I just do train my body to be stronger. Not really fucked about what I look like, I'm just a youngen.

This is something I agree with, nowadays people train to 'look good', I think that's so vain. All that effort to look a certain way, the main reason I train is to be and become stronger, the good looks is just an extra. This is why I do powerlifting instead of body building, body building is all about looking a certain way while powerlifting is about strength.
-

Than yeah, power lifting sounds like the thing for you.
I have to train for speed not for strength. Also, another purpose is to build my entire body-spirit harmony, so no excess.
But either ways, both come from working your muscles, doesn't matter the reason why you do it, for a better look, for strength, resistance etc.
Exception: if you use pills and become a puffed piece of rice who has chest circumference of 2 meters and can't open a jar.

Ah oke, thanks for explaining :)

Not really.
In semi-contact fights, strength doesn't matter that much as in box for e.g. (simply because you are not allowed to use your full strength).
So who's faster usually wins. Of course, there are more elements that affect the outcome of a battle but this is the main one.

Your half right it's not just speed but endurance as well. In a fight who ever is faster and can keep up that pace the longest wins. If your to bulky it slows you down.. But each hit you land will have a greater impact on your opponents performance. So if you can take a lot of punches but can K.O some one in 2 or 3 hits, Then it's fine to only build muscle mass. If you have a glass jaw then speed and endurance are your best weapons. It all depends on your personal strengths and weaknesses.

I repeat: semi-contact.
In semi-contact there is no K.O.
A KO in Semi-contact would be the same thing as in disqualification. I am doing Karate, and on the federation that I am part of endurance is not important at all, because if you are good you can win a fight in the very first seconds of the match, if you are not you finish it in 2 minutes.
I have never met a person who would get that tired during a match that he couldn't perform any successful technique at all. And I haven't trained for endurance specifically neither.
So I was entirely right on this subject.
Also, from my own experience, a glassjaw is not improved by muscle mass, just saying.

My bad I was coming from a boxing background lol your right. If it's just about Geting past defenses speed is your best weapon.

I've been in a soccer club once, I weren't a kid made for sports, I was exhausted really quickly.
Though I had something called Will power, it's something that kept me going those days, and after matches I went home with a win under my belt, though I came home exhausted and injured.
Willpower is also one necessary thing in fitness, especially Karate, to keep on trying and pushing your body limits that's something.

I don't know if I've already posted this on an earlier date, but I do basketball with a professional coach in my area. My school destroyed every team in the area but came 2nd place in the county/state (for you Americans) due to half of the starting line-up being away.
I'm training hard; working on my legs and general physical body for an upcoming tournament for the National championship in England for under 19's.
