public parks

are free and usually have a running trail, along with pull-up bars and work-out stations along the route

I have found that drinking lots of water, eating lots of fruits and vegatables, chicken and fish, and not too much sugar and carbs (I use sugar in my coffee but thats about it), will help.

3 hours+ of surfing and/or at the boxing gym everday plus a healthy diet of cigarettes, coffee, booze, tums, advil, and the occasional bowl of cereal works for me.
:D I miss the gym days...I remember when I could strap a belt on my waist and hook plates on it and do dips! Leg extensions on the machine would include the full stack of plates and I would put my finger in the stack to make sure form was correct.

I'd love to hit it again...flabby love muffin that I am.
 
You might want to try good ol' push-ups, and sit-ups, combined with jogging and or running. It works ok for these fellas:http://www.navyseals.com/community/navyseals/navysealworkout_main.cfm

I really think gyms and all their machines are worthless unless you have injuries you need to rehab. All you really need is alot dicipline and a little time, period.

True...but one other thing I miss about the old gym days was the commraderie. There's nothing like being asked to spot for someone as making them do what they couldn't do for themselves...that one last rep with you screaming at them to do it! Yea, your fingers were on the bar, but you weren't doing nothing..."Push it, push it...it's all you you...you can do it!"
 
Don't forget the little things you can do as well....

Park your car in the last row rather than the first, take the stairs not the escalator, avoid the rental car and use the down time to walk around where you're at.

Although this stuff will never put you on the cover of Fitness magazine even this is a small step to an ultimate goal.
 
Two ways to loss weight

1. Eat less and exercise more
Or
2. Exercise more and eat less

I always get this question ask to me and this is always my response. When I put on the FO 15+ I bought a good pair of running shoes. The money I saved by not eating as much paid for the shoes. If you’re hooked on McDonalds watch supersizeme.
