Are you in good shape? Pecs and abs?

I pretty much have the dad bod going for me haha. But I’m in fairly decent shape, still manage to run a few miles a week. How about you, OT?

Nah. But I'm working on it.

I'm in good shape. I'm not muscular as I mostly do cardio stuff but I got some abs. Nothing impressive but for my age (43) I'm more than fine.

I'm in good enough shape right now but always improving myself. I do workout as much as often as I can. I have decent arms and shoulders, and my abdominals can show some definition but definitely a work in progress. Right now I'm not doing any diet but consciously avoiding certain eating habits. I could always do better on that front to bring out the abs, but I have the groundwork for that when I'm ready to take diet seriously again.

Dad bod here. I do work out about four times a week, so I'm not in bad shape, but not great either.

I should do better though. My wife is ripped.

@judaspete: Not even joking, my wife has more defined abs than me.

I'm a blob. Too much sitting about the computer eating garbage.

I blame you lot and you're incredibly engaging posts, too hard to keep away.

@kathaariancode: Ha! My wife too. She can also beat me at arm wrestling. Some people at the gym nicknamed her "She Hulk", and "Asian Amazon".

I've got a slight belly. I do have muscles on my bicep and triceps. To answer your question, I would probably say no. I go to the gym once a week - I know it's bad, but at least I make an effort.

lol no. I'm very slim, so at least I'm not fat (not that I dislike people who are, I think some people even look good with a bit more fat on them). But I have no muscles. I easily get defined muscles when I work out, but I'm too lazy to do it. I've just tried a few times, it's so boring. Playing games is way more fun.

I have never gone to the gym ever in my 35 year life. Maybe that makes you feel better. To be fair though, I walk quite a bit, cycle, swim and whatnot. Which I actually believe is a better workout than going to the gym. Our bodies were made to move in natural ways. Not lifting crap in a cramped smelly room.

Same. I expect to have nice, jacked arms in a month or two. Need to drop some lbs. to get definition in the torso back. That'll take a bit longer -- but better now than never.

That's better. I can't even swim and cycle :( Those are better alternatives than going to the gym tbh.

Nope! Squishy and slightly overweight.

At least I have been trying to not overeat and get a good, balanced diet.

I'm in pretty good shape. I go to the gym 3 times/week and play tennis/run every now and then so I have put on some decent muscle mass. Not as much as those gymbros that grind away day in and day out but good enough. Now I'm working to lose some excess belly fat and it's progressing quite well.

I'm not in shape at all. I'm fat and lazy.

Out of shape like 20 pounds overweight. I weigh 186 pounds and need to lose 20 to 30 pounds. Can do it though never really tried eating healthy

I’m in shape. I workout about five times a week for an hour or more, and sometimes I hit the gym once in the am and once in the pm, depending on how I felt about my am session. Sometimes I just have the energy that needs to be used up, so I’ll go again for the night session. But I enjoy working out, it’s a passion of mine that I developed.

I’m a body builder. I don’t have visible abs as I have a little belly fat at my midsection. It’s been there all my life, even when I was anorexic, so I’m assuming it’s genetic.

Lol, abs or pecs... It's a balancing act I never quite got the hang of.

I got addicted to the gym for a couple of years and ended up pretty bulky. It did a lot for my confidence but not really for my health. I was a sweaty, wheezy, plodding fucker back then but I had big pecs and what-not, and I guess fairly prominent lumpy bits where my abs should be.

I tried balancing that out with more cardio but it's nigh on impossible to find the sweet spot, where I wasn't burning off all my gains but still feeling fit.

So I ended up saying screw the muscleman game and went the other way, into endurance sports. At my peak, excluding races, I was running 10-15km 6 days a week, with climbing, cycling, squash, swimming and cross fit wherever I could squeeze it in-between. Totally burnt myself out, constantly trying to recover from one injury or another. Stupid and unhealthy and I looked like a freaking sunken-eyed whippet on winstrol.

Nowadays I swim once a week, go to the gym every couple of weeks, occasionally do some push-ups and dumbbell exercises and walk everywhere. I don't look super cut or swole but I feel great and don't need to spend my days planning how I'll get all my macros. Which is good enough for me I think.

I've been in good shape, but not currently. I've been working at it for over a year now with keto, more exercise, no sugar, no pop/soda, etc. Been working well. Plan on starting to lift again this summer for the first time in several years.

eh. better shape than most men in their mind-40's i'd guess but nothing spectacular. i've always been pretty fit and never had a love for food / snacking so the great shape i was in in my youth kinda carried me along. i'll occasionally have bouts of inspiration to get back into exercising more but it's hard to keep momentum up with the needs of work/life/family. i'd like to get back into running now that the weathers improved. i had been doing 4 miles 2-3 times a week for a while in the fall. no real goal in mind other than getting faster at running 4 miles 2-3 times a week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i guess setting a good example for my kids would be the best reason these days for me

yea I'm in the same boat. tall and skinny. can't be arsed to go to the gym, but I'm still generally active.

I've got a uber fast metabolism, so if I really wanted to bulk up/become more muscular i'd have to eat like 10,000 calories a day and work out a ton. which seems exhausting and kinda pointless, since I'm perfectly healthy as is.
