A lot of walking, weights pretty much every other day. Running as well as sports such as horse riding, football, swimming etc.
I don't like the whole 'working out' thing, I think it's best just to play sports you enjoy. I only lift weights cause I'm bored.
I don't see how some people live without exercise, it just makes you feel like sh*t not doing anything. -------------

I've never seen the attraction of running for pleasure, (okay, when the endorphins kick in - I can see the pleasure in that). I'm not a health and fitness freak, I'm a little over weight, over 50, I smoke and have the occasional drink or two, yet running for a bus or sprinting upstairs has never been a problem up until now...
Yesterday I drove to the supermarket and couldn't quite manage to walk a full-lap of those aisle of plenty without stopping for a rest in between, and to my utter dismay my wife had to drive us home (the clutch on my car may never be the same again - I never knew it could make smells like that
 ). This is an unusual and alien situation for me as I am recouperating from a minor operation and fully expect this to be remedied when I have fully recovered, but it has brought home rather graphically what it must be like to be incapacitated and unhealthy. And I have to say I do not like it. I cannot say this has spurred me on to take up jogging (or buy that Wii-fit the girls are pestering me for), but I fully intend to stay as physically fit as is practically possible once I am back on my feet. I'm willing to go that extra yard each day by parking the car further down the drive.Having said that, I guy I worked with died while out running - he was younger and fitter than me, didn't smoke and rarely drank, so I guess moderation is the key. ------------- What? |

Not been running regularly for a while, really, since the ground around here's been a bit muddy and my indoor shoes have disintegrated. Go to the gym (some weights, a little cardio) roughly twice a week, sometimes more. Do some exercise at home. The only sport I take remotely seriously is squash, which I get to play for maybe 6 hours a week now. Used to fence and do judo until recently, but the convenient judo club shut down, and I really didn't feel that I was fencing enough to make it worth doing. I enjoy walking, so I go for large walks once a month or so, whenever it's possible. |

I was into sports all during my youth,and used to work out and run a lot,on top of football,lacrosse and baseball practice.Then I was in the Army and you have no choice
I don't work out anymore,but I run about 5 miles every morning.If it's a nice day I might put in 10 miles on a Saturday or Sunday. -------------  |

Work out? No But I do walk everyday. At least 3 miles each day, sometimes more. Walking may not be very vigorous, but it's still gotta be better than doing nothing. |

I don't really workout as such. My physique is that of an ectomorph, so obviously weight training is hardly going to be truly effective. I used to be a really big fitness nut, back in 2003 I used to do 4-5 sets of 70-80 pushups a day, ran 1.6-2km (that's about 1-1.2 miles in the 'old' system) several times a week, although I was more than capable of easily pushing 3kms if I wanted.
By about 12-13 months ago, due to serious lack of exercise, my fitness was at the absolute worst it had been. I was eating junk food all the time, occasional smoker, binge drinker, and maybe got in 5 minutes a day of bike riding, to just go and sit at my friend's house and play guitar and sometimes eat more anyway. At that stage, I could only run about 400 meters before being out of breath. In the last 3 months, I've got off my butt again, and now back to being able to run over 1km again, but only about once a week though. -------------

 I'm working on getting up earlier to take a run at the beach but it's hard to do. I've been pretty lazy recently but since my brother found a local grappling gym so I have to get back into shape. Right now all I'm working on is the basics: diet, sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, and stretching. |

Long walks. At least once per day. Otherwise I don't work out much. Used to be a frequent runner before, but it turned really boring and repetitive after a while. I think a lot about what I'm eating, though. Fruit, veggies and fibres. But who can resist cake?  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/LinusW88" rel="nofollow - Blargh |

I guess this one is for me.
Yes I tried to hard, after only one month I webnt up from 50 pushups to 200 a day, it was stupid.
Thanks heaven the riceps has three mmuscles and only the central one broke (the union to the bone), so the other two will replace the failling one, if a second one gets affected, then I will need surgery.
I will have to take care of that arm, or operation, but it means a scar from elbow to shoulder, and a risk of losing some movility, being that I'm not a pro beisball pitcher or anything, I'd rather keep it low.

Yes, technically the triceps is one muscle with 3 heads (origins or proximal attachments). As with your case Ivan, the other 2 heads will compensate for the function of the injured one. But do you happen observe some kind of weakness on the injured arm?

No weakness now, it hurted for a few months (still hurts once in a while, specially now that is getting cold), and the muscle fell almost to the elbow (Here they call it Popeye Syndrome)
 Now the muscle is slowly vanishing and everything looks almost normal, but according to the doctor, I have to be carefull with that arm.

| I don't work out, since I really don't like it. However, I am very active, as I walk at least a mile a day (I don't have a car), and I do move about a lot both at home and at work. In the past, I went to the gym for short periods of time, but it felt like a chore, so I gave it up. For some four years, when I lived in Finland, I practiced belly dancing, and loved every minute of it. That was the kind of exercise I could really like... Not too strenuous or potentially harmful, but very good for your overall shape, and lots of fun too! |

I've tried many different genres. There's a lot that doesn't work for me, but Kraftwerk and loads of Can works well (especially Mother Sky, Oh Yeah). Guapo: both Five Suns and Black Oni. King Crimson the heavy 73-74 tracks. Magma De Futura, Köhntarkösz... I'd say krautrock and zeuhl has generally worked the best for me. I go to the gym twice a week. As long as I got my mp3 player, I sort of enjoy it. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

I do work out, I have to because I also love cake! ha ha ha!!!
I go to the gym about 3-4 times a week, although the last couple of weeks I've been pulling 18 hr days in the office and just falling into bed, rising and working again 7 days a week.......... I'll get back in though next week when the load is a little easier here.
IF i get to the gym and realise my i-pod is out of charge I envariably come home, I simply can't cope without my music in there, it drives me NUTSO! ha ha ha! But with the i-pod it gives me a good album or 2 a few times a week, which is defo a bonus cos I don't get to listen to much at work.
