What do you do for exercise?

[Robb]

I pull on surgical tubing every day (poor man's Bowflex), run the dogs at least twice a week (kicking along up the hills), and I've started hitting the pool again.

Added bonus: our local pool is adjacent to a hot spring, which makes for excellent post-workout lounging.

What do you do?

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. chase Slinkerwink around the Lounge

:evilgrin:

[ZenLefty]

2. Hitting the pool?

Billiards is hardly an effective workout.

[qwertyMike]

3. Walk, walk walk

Don't own a car.

Walking and thinking speed seem to go hand in hand (or foot in foot)

[ramapo]

4. Walking is best

I try for a 45-60 brisk walk every day. I get grouchy if I miss a few days. I also walk dogs at the local shelter. I like a long hike too but don't often get the chance for that.

I've tried the exercise machines and light weightlifting for the upper body but I only succeed at walking.

Oh yeah, I always take the stairs...

[SOteric]

5. Run marathons, climb mountains, dance.

[BritishHuman]

35. I gotta have a sitdown just thinking about that.

Walking up and down stairs is about my most extreme exercise.

[SOteric]

37. Now....

You and I both know that isn't true. :evilgrin:

[Fovea]

6. Bicycle for transportation

maybe 50% of the total trips I take in winter, 90% in spring/summer/fall.

[BiggJawn]

7. Ride a bike

Not easy this time of year. gotta ride the "hamsterwheel' instead. Boring. Boring. Boring. went from 4 hours/50 miles a week to about 45 minutes. But some say that 45 minutes is as good as 2 hours on the road...Got rollers coming, so I'll have the thrill of trying to not ride off them and hit the wall.....

8. Juggle ...

I like to practise 3 times a week for at least an hour each time.

[sasquatch]

10. Run on treadmill, lift weights and yoga

Haven't been able to workout lately because my Ashtma has been acting up lately:(

[DK666]

11. I Play

Hockey

[Catfish]

12. I need a class

at this point to stay motivated. I go to an aerobics class 4 nights a week. Walk every day for about an hour and walk one of the dogs everyday for about 45 minutes. I'm just starting to lift weights again, I used to really enjoy it.

[grannylib]

13. walk in all weather; canoe when the river is runnin'!

[NightTrain]

14. I dip a spoon into a pint of Ben & Jerry's and lift it to my mouth

Does that count as exercise?

[MaineDem]

15. NordicTrack, exercise bike, walking

And then weights and crunches.

Whewww. :)

[shance]

16. Tennis, jog, yoga, lift

all at the same time.**

:)

[soleft]

17. sex

[ZenLefty]

21. My doctor says sex burns 300 calories per hour

Now if I could only make it last an hour.... :o

[soleft]

23. or at least several minutes

:evilgrin:

[BiggJawn]

33. Your doctor knows? Mine just says "That info's not provided for..."

"...by your Managed Care Plan..."

Of course, I'm ready to file a formal complaint with the medical board against him anyway....

[wysimdnwyg]

18. Lift weights 3x/week...

Cardio 2x/week (during summer, when I get add'l cardio from yardwork) or 3x/week (during winter, when I don't get the extra). Cardio is either rowing, running/walking or biking.

[Loonman]

19. Walk 4 miles per day

5 on weekends.

[CO Liberal]

20. I Jump to Conclusions

:-)

[Bertha Venation]

22. spin where the dizziness takes me

;-)

[geniph]

24. Nothing, anymore

and boy, is it starting to show!

[ajacobson]

27. Ya!

I carry thirty pounds around my waist everywhere I go. I remember at some family function or other, the men all looked uniformly rotund. I was svelte at the time (age 24?) but thought, when I'm 35, I'm going to look like that. I was wrong. I was 34 when I started to look like that. D'oh! Losing 5 pounds has been a BEECH. I can't imagine losing 20, which is probably why I haven't.

[Character Assassin]

25. Powerlifting, rowing, MTB, hiking, flogging.

[annonymous]

26. Aerobics

During the summer I swim.

[Digger]

28. Bicycling

About 3000 miles per year.

Also aerobic bitching and moaning every day for at least an hour. :)

[Shanty Oilish]

29. Let the cat out. Let the cat in.

Ok, I skate and swim too, but only because the kid expects it.

[sleipnir]

30. Spank a pet monkey....with regards to Mr. Jackson...

[chefgirl]

31. I swim whenever possible

Fortunately, I still have access to a very nice indoor pool at the Naval Base where my ex is stationed.
Unfortunately, I dont get there as often as I would like.
I also walk at least 3-5 miles a day at work, briskly, with 'tude!
Works for me. :evilgrin:

[Skittles]

32. step and floor aerobics VCR tapes at home

the idea of being in a gym repulses me; ewwwwwwwwww - all those sweaty people. Plus working out at home is so much more convenient. I try to do weight training too but find it exceedingly boring.

[GOPisEvil]

34. Weights, both free and cable/machine and cardio.

:bounce:

[Sting]

36. I work on...

My Pecs, my abs, my triceps, hamstrings, quads, calves, biceps, traps, deltoids, and i run for a 1/2 hour. I do this about every other day.
