So you're like the retarded wanna tough guy around here right? Whats that like?
Since I saw mentioned that you'd like some input from women:
I do Callanetics (similar to Pilates) classes 3 times a week for an hour each, I go for 5km runs twice a week, and then I do a workout program at home with weights most mornings to target certain areas.
I work a 9-5 and live in a big city that's not safe, so my only real options are indoor activities and closed-route runs in my area. Sadly no hiking :( Although I would love to.
Diet wise I'm pretty average - don't eat too often, and don't binge on carbs or chocolates because I lack the cravings for them.
My opinion would be that a psychopath/sociopath who works out has most likely just seen the benefits to being deemed "physically attractive" by others, and want to heed those benefits.
It could also be that they measure success in certain ways that include appearance, so they work to maintain a certain image.
So yeah, I would say it's probably more often than not a narcissistic drive.
I'm feeling slightly guilty here now. I don't think anyone would hold it against you if you talked about your life honestly. The reason people were not very welcoming to the things said in the K1 topic by Loki was because there was a lot of bragging involved and discussion of beating each other up. In other words, everything was discussed in a demeaning manner and people were trying to make a point of how going to the gym or kickboxing makes themselves better. Everyone was comparing themselves to the other posters.
The reason I'm feeling a bit guilty is because I made that Andy Hug / Fedor Emelianenko / Ernesto Hoost post.
I sometimes go to zumba and aerobics classes, but they're getting a bit repetitive now.
I'd like to take up a martial art but I dunno if there's much point as i heard you have to have a certain amount of physical strength to start w if you wanna get good. my friend who is way taller than me had to give up ju jitsu because she wasn't strong enough, so guess i would have no chance.
There are many different styles of martial arts. I've trained in three of them myself - Tae Kwon Do, Karate and a mixed martial art style that combined with weapons training. You don't have to be physically strong at all for most styles, considering they're available to both genders, but you do have to be relatively fit because it can be fairly strenuous on the body. At least in the more advanced classes it is anyway. In the beginner classes you won't have any problem.
While one style of martial art may not suit you, another might. So, shop around.
