Dreamviews Fit Club

Staying Up All Night...Working Out.

Club Creed: Promoting a healthy lifestyle through positive eating habits and physical fitness

Why This Club Was Founded: I talked to Man Of Steel (MOS) about two months ago and we both realized we had been slacking heavily in our exercise routines. I proposed that we expunge our lethargic natures when it comes to fitness and arduously work on our physical fitness beginning at the start of '09.

How This Club Works: This club is based on the "buddy system". By that I mean you find a partner who is in the club (or wanting to join but lacks a partner). But before you do this, you need to come up with a weekly routine for yourself. If you've been out of the fitness loop for a while then it's best to start off with the basics and work your way up. Each day you have accomplished your fitness goal for that day. Post (in here) the workouts you've completed. At the bottom of this post is your daily file to post in here. It's up to you and your buddy to make sure you are staying on track and not cheating yourself. This club strongly encourages posting monthly pictures of the part of your body you are working (no genitalia or private areas may be posted). The picture must also include you holding up a piece of notebook paper (or any paper) with your username written on it (reasons for this are obvious).

Buddy System: Feel free to partner with a buddy whose interested in joining the DV Fit Club. Your buddy is responsible for keeping you on track, making sure you're hitting your personal targets (whatever they may be) as well as keeping you motivated. Number exchanges may be made through private messages. If you are going to give your number to your buddy, do so at your own risk.

Cheat Days: If you have stuck to your fitness routine throughout the week you are granted one cheat day in which you can satisfy your taste buds. On your cheat day, unfasten your pants and go crazy (but not too crazy).

Diet Plans: I recommend going here -> http://www.changingshape.com/dietand...ion/mealplans/

Fitness Programs/Tips: I recommend going here -> http://www.free-online-health.com/fr...e-programs.htm

Club Membership Eligibility Criteria:

- You must be 15 years of age or older
- You must commit to at least 4 days of exercise
- You must post your workout profile every day (sometime after your workout)
- You must commit to cardio and weight routines (this is not to say you must curl 50 lb. weights every day...your fitness routine will be customized to YOUR current capabilities, but also allow room for growth and increase)

Already Fit?: Great. Let this club continue to motivate you to staying in an ideal state of physical fitness.

Already Fat?: Great. You are modeling clay and this club is the potter. Jump in feet first and lose that weight!

Already Out of Shape?: You may not be fat, but you certainly won't be posing for Calvin Klein any time soon. This club is definitely for you!

Also feel free to discuss healthy recipes, tips for physical workouts or brag about your accomplishments in here.

To physical fitness...and beyond!

**Man of Steel** · 02-12-2009 10:20 PM

Joining up, SAH! *salutes*

Name (Username suffices): MoS (AKA Danger, but call me Josh

)
Current buddy (if applicable): Jeff777 I thought... >_>
Want a buddy?: Perhaps
Cheat Day (Optional): Saturday, which is my official day of rest.
Physical Goals: Alleviate back strain and increase overall muscle tone, including pectorals, abs, legs, and arms. A six pack would be nice.
Days you'll exercise: Sunday-Friday
Cardio Routine: Walking my dog every day (gotta do it anyway

)
Weight Routine: Lack of weights limits me to what I can do with my body alone, so pushups, pullups, crunches, back presses, squats, and cock pushups*.
Current weight: 145lb last I checked, though I've been exercising for about two weeks already.
Height: 5' 11" (though with my back out it compresses me down to a bit over 5' 9"!

)
Why are you joining?: Because I seriously need to get in better shape.

I've been doing a daily routine of pushups, crunches, backpresses, and occasionally pullups, along with taking my dog (energetic Lab, walks are sometimes more like runs) for a walk. Need to walk her every day, but haven't been doing so yet. She's needing of exercise at least as much as I.

*Three a day. *COUGHonlynotreallyCOUGH*

**Amethyst Star** · 02-13-2009 09:22 AM

Name: Amethyst
Current buddy (if applicable): None
Want a buddy?: Not yet
Cheat Day (Optional): See note
Physical Goals: 30 minutes of exercise
Days you'll exercise: Sunday-Saturday (unsure about set schedule)
Cardio Routine: DDR, 30-60 minute walks
Weight Routine: Push-ups, leg lifts, need to find my dad's old weights
Current weight: 223
Why are you joining? I'm hoping that by committing to do this with friends, I'll feel more accountable to do what I set forth to do.

Note: I've been with Weight Watchers since last August and have lost 23 pounds. I continue to (try to) follow their diet program which is on a daily point system and also allows for a set number of bonus points to be used throughout the week. I've been lax on the exercise end of things, though, but I want to change that.

Fitness, go!

**Snowy Egypt** · 02-13-2009 01:58 PM

Name (Username suffices): Let's shorten it to Snowy for now
Current buddy (if applicable): None (unless you count my mom.

)
Want a buddy?: Definitely
Cheat Day (Optional): Sunday
Physical Goals: lose 10 - 20 pounds before the middle of Summer break
Days you'll exercise: Monday - Friday (not sure about Sat., but probably Sat. too)
Cardio Routine: Walk 30 - 40 min. either in my neighborhood or on my school's track. (I live REALLY close to my school, so I could even walk there as apart of this routine)
Weight Routine: Treadmill at the gym (we'll be getting our membership reinstated soon)
Current weight: *sigh*....318
Why are you joining? The above criteria should say it all, but I'll say it anyways; I'm fat. You could say obese, but I'm tall, so you could just say overweight..... ah screw it I'm obese. I hate that it's taken me THIS long to do something about it, but if I don't do something now, I never will. I've already started eating better, and that's resulted in me losing.....1 pound. But even that's just a guess. My mom said I'm lacking the exercise part, so we'll be starting that...probably next week (Well, I'll be starting it. She's already started) since it's my Winter Break.

Tell me about yourself Ozzi? What new program are you testing out?

**Ozzi99** · 02-13-2009 07:19 PM

Fitness wise? Well ughh where to start

Im 16 yo and about one and a half years ago i was a toothpick and i got teased for being small. I made friends with a sortof bodybuilder at school and decided i was gonna *attempt* to get big. So i started going to the gym at school 3 times a week and i gained 13 kilos in that time which i was pretty happy with

My lifting gains have been pretty terrible so im trying a new lifting regime made by Madcow(ill link the site if you want). Im gonna post up some numbers each month and hopefully see a difference. This seems like a good place to write them down so i cant cheat myself -.-

How long you been going to the gym for(years?)

**Man of Steel** · 02-13-2009 07:21 PM

Alrighty, let's see...

Name (Username suffices): Josh
Cardio workout(s) done today: Walked about a half-mile, got lazy and didn't walk my dog.
Weight workout(s) done today: Pushups, crunches.
Areas of body worked today: Abs, chest, arms, back.
Current weight: Still 145lb far as I know. I'll break out the scale tomorrow if I can find it.
Current buddy: Jeff777
Foods consumed today: Bowl of homemade potato soup, bowl of homemade 16 Bean soup, two slices of homemade bread, one pack of beef Ramen, two chocolate chip cookies, and a bit of popcorn.
Drinks consumed today: Orange juice, sweet tea, not quite a can of Peach Sunkist with my popcorn.
Buddy's performance as a buddy (1/10): Too soon to tell, but I have high hopes.

Rate your buddy's progress (1/10): See above.

I need to drink more water, and keep taking those Superfood greens supplements my mom wants me to take.

Sorry to hear the gym was closed, Jeff. You could still do some calisthenics, though!

Oh, and shouldn't we put our height on the sign-up sheet as well? Just to give a better idea of body type. I'm going to add height to mine.

Sounds awesome man! I look forward to being kept abreast with your progress

I joined the YMCA about a month ago actually. Before then I was of the mindset that one didn't need to go to the gym in order to stay in shape (which is true) however...as of late I've found that a gym is just...well...better! xD Up until my "epiphany" I was working out at home, jogging around buildings and pumping iron within my own four walls. How much mass are you wanting to gain?

**Ozzi99** · 02-13-2009 07:35 PM

Yeah, know what you mean. It makes ya feel really good when youve just finished a productive gym session. Id like to be 190 by the end of the year (gain of 20) and put around 40 onto the major lifts.

Foods consumed today: Sesame Chicken, butterfinger, cruch chocolate bar. (looks like Mos needs to give you a bit of a whiping

)
