I've always liked to go for a walk and do that a couple times a week too.



Same here.....but more for the scenery than fitness.....I was lucky enough to be brought up in the countryside near the coast, and currently live near the coast and in a city that is 10 minutes from some breathtaking countryside....

As far as cardio - well nothing gets the heart racing more than sitting next to an incompetent idiot attempting to land an airplane! Beyond that - I like to scuba dive. Sounds low impact but climbing in and out of a pitching boat with 200+ pounds of gear can be a work out, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, etc. Kind of like walking - but on rough terrain with a rifle in hand.

Status: offline 		I am afraid I have a shocking confession in regards to the OP.

I am lazy.  I dont have a regiment.

The last month- has not been good.   The closest I come is I used a bike a few times. A real bike is very different then a stationary bike...in that you get out of house and see the town in ways you dont in a car. 

There is 2 stairways here. I wondered why I use the back stairway more.  They go oposite directions.  So between that and yardwork thats the extent of it.

I am not disciplined or motivated enuff to do what is supposed to be done.    Mabye there is a med for it....  [typical lazy American reply..]

I do train, exercise and ride the horses we use for jousting but not nearly as much as I want or as much as I should.

Status: offline 		I've been going to a gym for about 5 years.  I average three to four times a week and do weights (excruciatingly embarassingly low weights compared to a lot of the muscly blokes that go....who am I kidding, a lot of the seniors lift heavier weights than me!!!) and some fitball exercises for core strength, I may have a bit of a walk on the treadmill and then go to the spa, steam room and sauna (the best part).

And yes I confess that there are one or two gym junkies whom I enjoy watching....very intently when they are there as well.

That is a great quote! I use a Schwinn AirDyne every other day, along with an old Performance heart rate monitor. Walk a couple miles up my road and back almost every day. That's the cardio. For the rest of it, I use a BowFlex that I bought earlier this year. I'm going to the bike shop today to look at mountain bikes.

I go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week but I'm not manic about it.
And I'm not a body builder either.
I do 40 minutes of cardio on the treadmill followed by an hour or so on the machines for a total body workout.
I've always liked to go for a walk and do that a couple times a week too.
I think nothing of going down to the beach and walking 3-5 miles.
I've always had strong legs and butt from walking all my life.
Also I might take a bike ride 1 or 2 times a week.
I think excercise should be fun!
What do you do?

recently had surgery to repair and will be 6 to 12 months for full recovery.
 
now i try walking and doing some modified set ups, leg lifts and arm exercises 3 to 4 times a week. try and drink more water and make better eating choices though at times i revert back to the old habits. feel better when i do the exercises and healthier eating choices...though i doubt i will ever be society's standard of 'slim/thin' as i have always
been one of those who are of a fuller figure.

Status: offline 		OK,

Now to answer the question.  I walk a couple of miles a day.  I
find that the days that I don't feel like it are the days I feel best about
it afterwards. 

Also I read food ingredients labels, not the lies on the front of the
package.  This is one time government regulation has proven to be
a very good thing.  What you are putting in your body makes a big
difference.  I also spend more money each week at the local veggie
stands than I do the supermarket.
