What do you do for exercise? |
|
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?

Don't own a car.
Walking and thinking speed seem to go hand in hand (or foot in foot)

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...

35. I gotta have a sitdown just thinking about that. |
|
Walking up and down stairs is about my most extreme exercise.

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.....

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.

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....

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.

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.

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:

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.
