Are there close ties between exercise and beer?

I lift three times a week, changing that to four, and gonna start doing cardio five times a week instead of my usual three. Hoping to cut back on the drinking to every other weekend.

This can't be life.

 

When I played softball and volleyball, we always went out afterward for pitchers of whatever. I don't play sports much anymore, but I'm still drinking the beer.

 

Good job, guys. I hardly ever exercise.

 

I make all sorts of GAINZ!!!

 

Why isn't there a third option of just............'No'?

 

Where's the option for ZERO times a week?

 

I do cardio 30-40 minutes every day, enough to get a drenching sweat, lift every day I'm not traveling, and do crunches every day.

This is to prevent weighing in at roughly 700 lbs after satisfying my beer nerdery.

 

GD you beat me to it!!!

 

Alcohol is a depressant and constricts the blood vessels. Not good to drink and exercise.

 

The fact that the poll results show that 75% of responders exercise 4-7 times per week is surprising. You sure you guys aren't counting lateral bicep curls (drinking a beer motion)? Lol...

 

I lift once a week at home (sunday) and always have several brews as I do. It's a fun couple hours for me. I also do body weight exercises another day when I can fit it in ( a sober endeavor ). Additionally
I always have a brew or two after my very physically active workday.

 

After a serious workout that ends later than expected I must say that a single bottle of an oatmeal stout and a nice spinach salad is literally like having a huge instant acting vitamin. Try it sometime....you'll be surprised.

 

When I'm not traveling for business I work out for 90 - 120 minutes every morning, both cardio and weight training and I drink almost every night. I try to keep the food-based carbs low so I can enjoy my carbs in liquid form. When I'm on the road I usually stick to just an hour of cardio each morning.

Took 75 pounds off about five+ years ago and have managed to keep it off thus far...

 

Biking and beer. Biking to local breweries.

 

Idk. I bike to/from work 5 days out of 7. But idk if I consitute that as exercise. More of just my mode of transport because I'm a poor.

 

Wow. Thats dedication... to beer.

 

I have my cellared beers in sight of the treadmill so I know what I am working for.
Also found that knowing I am having a beer or two a night keeps me from snacking because I know to save calories.

 

lift 4 days a week, cardio 2 days. 1 day to rest.

 

Cyclist. From March-October I'll do anywhere from 170-300 miles/week. These days I get on the road when I can and get in at least 3 high intensity trainer sessions, with a moderate day or two thrown in. Cycling and beer have always gone hand in hand.

 

Between all the beer and duck fat I should really be lifting again. But I fell off hard after fracturing my arm earlier this year.
