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?

There is a treadmill and some freeweights at work... I generally use those when it gets slow

I go for walks, that's about it. I've been thinking about getting a bicycle, not so much for the exercise but to cut down on gas usage. I do try and watch what I eat. Of course I smoke a pack a day, and that does tend to curb the appetite. Of course every time I buy a carton, I say it's going to be the last one.

Since my shape is that of a pear with legs, I eat too much and sit in front of the computer to keep it.

I am not in shape. I do ride my bicycle for a long distance once or twice a month, though, and I am considering to take up some daily outdoors exercise again. Also I am considering to start a two week hunger strike tomorrow.

crunches and stretches.

I watch what I eat and go to the gym three times a week but it is about to get more strict I am thinking unless I want to walk around with a bruised bum all the time. ;)

MusicalBoredom -> RE: What do you do to stay in shape? (5/16/2008 3:45:50 PM)
Walk instead of drive as much as possible and a small routine a few times a week. I have to say push ups are a near perfect exercise as far as I'm concerned.

I'd like to ask if round is a shape, but then again I'm really not round. Just kinda .. well .... ok, ok yea I could use to loose a few or more. I'd love to see like 20 move on to some well deserving starving child in Africa. I was diligent at going to the gym, then I moved and moved again. Now the gym is a good 30 miles or more. My job has me often walking outside but somedays I end up sitting behind that horrible desk much too long. I come home and many days find a pitch fork in my hand but that sure isnt burning off this `extra`. ick......... Much of my problem is eating, or better said ... not eating, then eating the wrong stuff. 5 small meals a day are hard to do, and harder yet is cooking for 1, it's like why bother. I suppose this is one of those areas I need some disipline in. ........... sigh So, all in all .... lately I'm not doing much!

i work out on my exercise ball; ten pound weights; leg weights too; i have various strength bands and i do alot of extreme stretching. For cardio i will crank my music like i still live in the backwoods on NE NC, and dance at full mosh pit level until i crash into a wall, knock something over, or the police show due to my excessive noise; the ipod helps in that area now tho! Then i will collapse on the floor, take a cat nap and be on my way! b.~

Slaveboy, I bought a $99 Huffy bike three years ago and I've really gotten my money's worth out of it. No gears just pedal but it's pretty much flat in these parts and it's fun riding in the evenings on the cart paths of the golf course behind me and in the neighborhood.

Sanity -> RE: What do you do to stay in shape? (5/16/2008 4:32:08 PM)
Wow, thanks cloudboy, I feel like I'm in good company! Myself, currently I climb stairs, going from the basement to the roof of an eleven story building five days a week, I do 100 sit ups, 50 push ups, 20 pull ups, I lift weights, and I walk my black lab every day. In the summer I go hiking, I try to watch what I eat, and I work for a living. quote: ORIGINAL: cloudboy I fight with you, celticlord, sanity, and merc about politics.

Lifting, running, mma, lots of walking, and rarely taking the elevator.

LMAO, You are to kind Sir! i failed to mention that my two vices are that i still smoke from time to time, and i drink WAY to much coffee! Had to stop drinking that cordial my Irish Clan makes for Christmas. Last time i had that libation i was talking to the pictures on the wall of my deceased family members! [sm=insane.gif] Exercise gives that all over good feeling, minus the hang over! quote: ORIGINAL: popeye1250 quote: ORIGINAL: lalbobbilynn i work out on my exercise ball; ten pound weights; leg weights too; i have various strength bands and i do alot of extreme stretching.
