Fitness anyone?

I’ll talk about fitness. My own fitness I guess. My training regime (or lack of) probably won’t be of much assistance to anyone else.

In my previous life I lived around an hour or more from where I do now. It was only an accidental mishap that eventually led to me meeting my wife and moving so far from home. In truth, it was the best decision I ever made. My history in my previous location was not full of good memories and a clean break was exactly what I needed.
You can’t however, force a clean break from some aspects of your life. Work were reluctant to transfer me across and I found myself travelling up to 3 hours a day just for work alone. This obviously had financial implications as fuel certainly doesn’t come cheap. Legal battles with me ex over the children, social service involvement, police involvement all added up to great deal of stress. I was rarely sleeping.
Eventually I bit the bullet and took time off from work. I couldn’t carry on as I was…

It’s when you stop and reflect that you see where you are in life. I needed something to help.

Fitness!

I spent months off work (they couldn’t even give me the courtesy of a transfer so I was in no rush to go back and do them favours). I spent my time working on myself. I massively increased my calorie count.
Gym 8-10 times a week.
Cycling anywhere between 30 and 75 miles twice a week.
Swimming.
Running.
By the time I returned to work... Yes, apparently paying someone a full salary and doing nothing about the problems was enough to force my transfer… I was the best shape of my life. I was also super tanned which was nice! I looked and felt incredible.

Sadly, back to the day to day my routine slipped. Im naturally lean so have to work hard to maintain weight.
I weighed myself recently as my wife had the scales out. She’s on a diet. I’ve lost at least 2 and half stone of muscle.
It appears that living my life in chastity has the same affect on my body as extreme bouts of pressure and stress. This doesn’t concern me as knowledge is a wonderful thing, now I know which way this is leading I’m well equipped to change my diet, increase my calorie intake and sort out the downward spiral. Work wise I’m on the go for at least 9 hours a day and I don’t like to stop when I’m at home.
Who knows. I may even get back to the gym one day. Now I have solid routines for most of my chores I have far much more free time again, the tasks are kept up well and they don’t take much time at all. I still get out running or cycling once a week.

For now, as I mentioned my wifes diet, my role is to assist her. I prepare good meals. I give her the time to train - although cardio is not her thing.
We work out with weights at home.
She has problems with back pain, she’s seen a physio who diagnosed the cause to be related to her pregnancy a few years ago. He handed her a one page flyer of some mediocre stretches my gran wouldn’t have a problem doing.
I discussed the parts of her body she wants to work on and considered her need to improve her core strength. I’ve come up with a full training regime just for her. We do those together… or at least i watch longingly as she moves her body around in tight clothing. Some perks. I’m by no means a professional trainer but doing something is better than nothing…

So far, we have not linked my fitness to chastity at all so all that is probably irrelevant.

 

IB-Chaste, do you cycle in your belt/cage?

 

I do similar distances on the road bike to IB-Chaste (typically 50km to 80km at a time, three or four times a week) and it's easy enough to get saddle sore as it is. I've never tried it in my cage.

 

I haven’t done those distances since I’ve been caged, it’s hard between working and looking after a toddler to find the time for serious routes. When I’m on my bike these days I don’t really have an issue. My wife made pretty damn sure I wasn’t going to find any reason for me to remove it… remember the first time I went swimming and she was just like “nope, it’s staying on”!
Honestly, I don’t even realise it’s there most of they one these days.

 

I have been successful in an 20 hour fast and 4 hour consumption eating cycle with one 24 hor fast a week. Along with 4 days of elliptical and rowing fo 45 minutes.

 

I like to pick up heavy stuff and put it back down.

 

There's no need to go barmy
remember all excess weight went in through your mouth. Obesity is a self-choice I'll accept no argument on that

Going for reasonable walk everyday or even other day is very good for you and does not over stress your body... do seek advice before starting.. do what you can and it will get easier as the lard slowly reduces

The longer the list of ingredients on the food you buy then the less likely it is to be good for you

Eat less to save money and prolong your life

 

there's a difference between being a healthy weight and being fit though, you can have one without the other but some people want both. and medical advice generally recommends that vigorous exercise has a greater effect.

 

Cardio is a good. Weights are way more fun!

 

My job is quite physical and the risk of a hernia is quite real. In my early 40's now, so I take it seriously

first, diet. I try and limit my sugar, dont eat anything where flour is the main ingredient (except whole wheat bread on rare days where I get a deli sandwich), and never ever ever ever get too full. If you ever said you ate too much you just did a lot of harm to any weight loss

At work I almost always eat the same thing, 6 hard boiled eggs, a banana and a salad. You have to treat food as body fuel

look at it this way. when youre young you eat to fuel growth and activity. When you stop growing you need to change your relation with food or you will be unhealthy. I also do fasting one or two days a week. It's good to be a little hungry every once and a while


after work I used to do sit ups and push ups for hours with minimal gains, scouring youtube for better work out tips without anything standing out

until I found this guy



try some of his routines, find ones that work for you and give it a month

I saw results in 3 weeks and can now fit into jeans I wore in my 30's

 

That’s a good workout. Don’t forget to know your limits and modify. Stronger everyday!

 

My favorite “cardio” is heavy carries. Farmers carry will def get your your heart rate up. If you want to work your lats…try a suitcase carry. Use the google box for instructions.

 

I've been a cyclist for decades, and still am. But a few months ago I started boxing, and so far I really enjoy it.

 

My KH does Muay Thai and I’m terrified of her. Good on you!

 

I am no stranger to what people call trauma if you let it beat you then you will end up with two choices fight it or give in.

I do not see why you take my comments as negative they were written nothing other than good intentions.

You seem to be taking back control and I'm sure if you maintain self-discipline you will achieve your ambitions for yourself in good time. That you do not mention being supported through your endeavours is all the more to your credit

I was due compensation following a RT incident that took me 4 years to get a result on during which time and aslo subsequently I was unable to work so I can indentify with that struggle. We have a benefits system into which is funded through PAYE and national Insurance. When you are eligible to receive long term benefits it is means tested. If you do receive compensation your benefits are not penalised provided you can show that the compensation money is not spent on living expenses. You can buy a car but not food or a pay a bill.. weird but that's the way it is

I am presently on a low income and have been for just over a decade. I do not concur with those that maintain you can't eat healthily at at low cost. I have and do and should anyone need advice on this there are myriad web-sites and publications on this topic many of the latter being readily available at local lending libraries. Eating meaningfully does seem to be good idea and has certainly helped me

Again I stress that my comments were not intended to be rude they were intended to be helpful and supportive

Of course you can choose to take them any way you wish.. but I do genuinely wish you well

 

@tomf_22033 I also struggle with PTSD. Not from a violent experience such as you experienced, though. Mine was from sexual and emotional abuse. But nevertheless, I can understand your struggles.

I actually made a very surprising discovery when I started boxing. Within a couple of weeks of starting it, I was experiencing way less PTSD symptoms (panic attacks and such, especially in situations that had always been triggering). I've discussed it with my therapist and we're both puzzled by it. His thoughts are that maybe the cross body movement I engage in is similar to what we have done in EMDR sessions. But I really don't know.

Not saying it's a cure-all for everyone, but I have been happily surprised by it. Sometimes exercising the body seems to be able to heal the mind.

 

i dose exersises as well and a lot of stretch ones and i am allow to use Mistress ballet barre as well and thats good for doing leg ones.

 

Yes.

I have a very odd shaped body. My torso stores fat but my arms and legs do not. My wife says I'm potato shaped. Very encouraging.

I only weigh 190-200 pounds, if my fat was evenly distributed I would prob be pretty happy with my figure being 5' 11".

But since it all accumulates in my mid section it's been a point of contention with my self esteem.

I have been hitting the gym but I've been inconsistent. So I do really need to work on my consistency. Just trying to juggle running my business, and home life. It's a struggle.
