Meatheads and MX riders, few questions.

walk and ride a bike.

I work out 5 days a week and each day I do an hour on the bike at the gym. Usually I do 22-23 miles.

Then I take a half hour walk at night with my dog. On Sundays in the winter I walk for 6-8 miles (two separate walks). In nicer weather I ride my bike 20 miles on a bike path on Sundays.

My legs are definately much more toned than they ever were. So is the rest of my body, more so from other parts of working out and eating better though. Ive lost 30 pounds in the past year.

Whats your reason for not wanting to join a gym?

Really I was reluctant to join a gym for a while for no real reason but now its part of my daily routine and Im glad I joined one. Its only $20 a month (Best Fitness) and well worth it to me. I go right after work so I dont come home and sit around and procrastinate and say Ill go later/tomorrow/whatever.

my reason for not joining a gym is because most likely, I wouldnt use half the shit they have there.

my job involves walking all day long. I get enough of that.

The kind of shape I am trying to get in, is hard to explain…maybe if I explain a situation you guys would know how to help.

I do 6 laps in the Am class on a motocross track. This involves jumps, berms, whoops, deep ruts, rocks etc. etc. About 3 laps in, my arms start to ache from the constant up and down motion or the handlebars, vibration and the overall grip of holding on. 4 laps in, I am no longer using my clutch because I cant bend my fingers. 5th lap, im not full throttle everywhere, because I cant move my thumb in and out anymore. 6th lap, Im half my speed, winded, both hands are locked up, stopped shifting etc. Pull off the track and my dad, sister or fiance need to take my helmet off for me, my gloves etc. because My arms are pumped solid and I cant move my fingers.

I need all of that, GONE. So I can ride all of those 6 laps as fast as I can./
