Who here exercises?

[Cyfu]

I try to be at the gym at least 3 times a week.
haven't been for a couple of weeks now though, shoulder injury.

 

[wooty]

I bought a cross-trainer a few weeks back which is now parked infront of the PS3. Its amazing how much time passes when your playing and you don't realize it, and how sore your legs can get.

I'm on that for about 1/1.5 hours a day.

 

[deidara]

I walk everywhere that's not unreasonably far away. Probably 5km average per day just getting to places. I used to run cross country when I was in school, not so much now.

 

[lunavixen]

predominantely walking and weightlifting (not powerlifting or bodybuilding), just weight training

 

[Angry Camel]

I always park far at uni to make myself walk more and do martial arts training twice a week. I've been thinking about taking up Tabata workouts.

 

[Woodsey]

Crunches, push-ups, and some weights most days. Walk everywhere too, for what it's worth.

 

[LordFish]

Long distance cycle rides, looking to do west cost of England to east in a few weeks time. about 80 miles a day for 2 days... Nothing major yet but one day I would like to ride north to south... 1000 miles in roughly 12 days. We'll see.

Also, if there is anyone who knows any good long distance events in England, PM me. One in a million shot but my friend and I are struggling to find good events that don't ask you to raise over a grand for charity. (We have done a few charity rides but we like to do about 4 events a year, many charities really will demand outrageous amounts of money.

Ice skating once a week, often twice. Walk to the shops/McDonalds (shut up it's still exercise), and I was doing Wushu classes at my Uni, and probably will again once second semester starts. I get really bored with exercising for the sake of it, but if it's fun or I have a goal (like a burger) then I'll happily do it. Hell, I put my tooth through my lip just last night ice skating and I'm still planning on doing it again. The ice skating, that is, I'm kinda hoping I won't pierce my lip again.

 

[Guffe]

I train.
Sunday and sometimes Thursday a 2 hour football game with my mates, then monday, wednesday and friday I hit the gym, weightlifting (I don't think my training can be categorized here, maybe endurance is teh closest) and tuesday and thursday I go out on about 10km joggs (about 40 min thing) and if I feel like it saturday is also jog day, or extra gym day if my mates pull me along.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

I walk the dog and have started going to to local gym, nothing special...

 

[rob_simple]

I do weights four times a week and I try to walk at least a mile a day. On the downside, my diet is awful, more for lack of eating than eating too much rubbish.

I do a hell of a lot of gym work.

I'm a personal trainer so have to keep myself in shape.

I don't know if this would fall under your area of expertise, but any chance you could recommend some good foods to help build muscle? (Taste isn't an issue; I've not really got any left.)

 

[BrotherRool]

Walk everywhere and play squash (also football when I can, mainly five-a-side unfortunately my friends tend not to be football fans ). Sport is fun and so is keeping in good health but I can't be bothered with activities specifically for keeping yourself fit. I need to compete and challenge my brain a bit

 

[Broady Brio]

Other than walking, I am medically unable to. I shall list my problems, from smallest to biggest.
I have Asthma. Also my lungs are incredibly inefficient. And I don't even smoke.
I have a deformed left hip.
I have surgically cut Achilles' tendons in order to extend them, so I could walk normally.

Though I did used to go to a gym when my local council subsided the fees in an attempt to make the community healthier. I stopped when the scheme did, couldn't afford it.

 

[Sonicron]

I do, but not much. I lift weights (10kg, 100 repetitions each arm) and I do push-ups (100-150 a day) and stomach crunches (100-200 a day). Also I use my bike to go pretty much anywhere within the city.
It's mostly to complement my diet, so my body doesn't start burning muscle instead of fat. Seems to work, too - just lost 48kg in 20 weeks while building up quite a bit of muscle mass, I feel great.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Yeah I exercise. I don't like going to gyms or using exercise machines so I prefer to play sports; especially football, in fact I'm playing later on today

I used to take part in a league, a 7 a side and a 5 a side games in a week. However due to work commitments I can only play a 5 a side game once a week. Although I do play in 11 a side games or tournaments every so often when we can get the teams together.

 

[WhyWasThat]

I run 5 miles every other day, and on the days inbetween I do 45 minutes of weight and bodyweight training (overall, like I'll time myself doing exercises until the total amount of time spent JUST exercising (ie. not including rests) adds up to 45 minutes).

I feel great.

I despise you with all of my heart.

 

[Sexy Devil]

I mostly just do some calisthenics and running a few times a week. I don't trust myself to not die with heavy gym equipment. I also do about a 3km each day in the journey from my house to uni. Though it all evens out because I eat terribly.

 

[The Funslinger]

Diddly squat, besides walking to anywhere within a reasonable distance. And probably won't until my weight starts to seriously effect me, in which case I'll be glad to take up cycling again.

The pursuit of fitness beyond necessity (Military, fire brigade, the personal trainer example above) always strikes me as vanity.

Well, it's healthy for you, and psychologically beneficial because it makes you feel good about yourself. If people want to do it for those reasons, I don't see the problem.

Except excessive body builders. There's a point where you just don't look human anymore.

Personally, I'm getting in shape for the Royal Marines, but it's a level of fitness I want to maintain after I leave, too.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

When I have good discipline over myself, I run a couple miles about twice a week.

I do 3 pairs of 20 pull ups (They suddenly became easy for me one day, it was weird), and two pairs of 50 push ups.

Luckily I'm the kind of person who'll seemed muscular and tone without really doing anything, so my work outs are lazy.
