Title: How much exercise do you get?
Post by: Air tree on Wed, 07 October 2015, 02:15:51
I get so little exercise it's not even funny, I think one of the things I need to start doing is to get out more and get in shape, to where I don't lose my breath after 3 minutes of running...

I usually go on a 30-40 minute run 3 times a week

If you're looking to get into running you should do couch to 5k - I was always someone who hated exercising and couldn't run for longer than a couple of minutes like you but after doing that program I've moved on to running a half marathon and quitting smoking

Not enough.

I have a 3.5 mile cycle to work, so 7 miles a day.

I've tried to go for walks / jogs but I do it once or twice then not again for a month or two :/

not much,
I do mattress and furniture delivery ~20h/week. beds are solid latex and are ~90-180lbs depending on size and thickness, floppy as anything. Frames can be 120lb headboards. aside from that, i dont go to the gym. I walk probably 2-3miles a day on average, dont really count as exercise.
I also smoke.

About an hour's walk every weekday.  I seem to walk about 1.5x the pace of everyone else, so that's probably a reasonably vigorous walk.

Not as much on the weekends, maybe a quick round of the playground with my daughter, gardening etc.

I just never quite get a regular exercise thing going. I suppose I should reorganise and reprioritise a little.

Nowadays once or twice a week rowing my boat and I walk to work and back.

I work out for 2 Hours a day, ~5 Days a week. Its just become a part of my routine after work, if I skip the gym I feel so aimless and anxious if I'm not doing something important.

I also try to do Yoga once a week, although I've been pretty bad about that lately. Definitely helps with my lifting though, in terms of recovery and form.

It's so good being able to exercise enough to addict yourself to it. Exercise goes from a chore to pure joy.

2-3 times a week here. 45 minute workouts. Simple strength work with weights.

Just work. 

Though I work as a union millwright.  Essentially industrial construction, machinery maint, steel fabrication, etc.

Last week alone I worked 94 hours. 

Most tiring job was working at an ethanol plant.  After sending the crane home from flying 120 feet worth of replacement drag conveyor chain to the top of the silos, we found out we were 8 feet short.  So we had to take 8 feet of the old chain, drive it to the shop, replace the flighting (all cutting with angle grinders and cut off wheels, and weld new back on).  With the new chain back at the plant we had to hike it up 247 steps to the top of the silos.  This section of chain weighed 150+ pounds, and zero good way to carry it.  Here is a pic of a very close approximation to what we carried. (http://www.rancofertiservice.com/images/conveyors-pics/Chain-and-paddles.jpg)  The links in the chain were 6 inches long.  That was about a 14 hour day.

Very little to none, if you include what i do weekly... :(

I am one of those who has not motivation, moans about having no motivation and does nothing to motivate themselves. 

In short, I sleep, i wake, i drive to work, i sit I work for 8 hours, i drive home, I sit, I sleep.  add into that personal hygiene acts, cleaning the house and once a week going to visit the parental units.

So yeah probably gonna die earlier than i should. 

It would be cool if there was an app for fitness buddy's, where based upon location and interests pairs you up with like minded unfit people.

Or i should quit procrastinating and do something before its too late.

I walk to work (15 minutes fast as possible and slightly slower home) but otherwise pretty much what hudson said.  I used to go to the gym twice a week doing 50 minute circuits or kettles classes and to karate once a week until late last year when I got an annoying minor wrist injury and never went back to it.

Didn't experiene the endorphin rush that's supposed to get you hooked, it did nothing to aid my confidence (not that I needed it) and didn't give me any motivation in other areas of my life so in short I think exercise is overrated.  Who cares if I don't live to be 60, I have no desire to.

I don't really exercise except some random stretching and a daily series of push-ups/crunches… and I walk (or run, when necessary) to/from the bus stop, which is actually about 3+ km/day currently thrice a week. However, I do have a standing setup and have to walk up/down the stairs all the time, thus I probably get more exercise than most people, that consciously go to a gym, in the end.

Does walking to the fridge count?  Haha, I'm kidding...

I go to the office about 4 times a week. That commute involves about an hour of walking each day.

Now that I have a toddler I actually get a little bit more. He is old enough to go out and kick a soccer (footie) ball around, so we do that for about 30 mins most nights.  I also put him to bed and our routine includes us snuggling on a yoga ball and me bouncing him to sleep. So that's another 30 mins every day. So ya. Starting to get some exercise now. Nothing crazy, but enough to keep the weight off. Actually lost 35 lbs in the past year and a half, so that is good. I was about 40 lbs over where I should be, so I am pretty happy with where I'm at now.

I run 3 miles several times a week and am trying to participate in 5k's more regularly.

I'm trying to get back into swimming regularly as that is much more "whole body" than jogging.

And then there's the kid exercise: between helping coach soccer and being a jungle gym and just generally trying to keep them alive...

So yeah, I actually feel pretty decent lately on the exercise front. Now sleep on the other hand...

Been getting right back into the exercise lately as a way to control my depression, seems to be working reasonably well so far. Only bad thing is I really feel it when I miss a day. The last week I've done 3 hikes, one boot camp workout that I used to do for grid iron training, and one yoga session earlier in the week.

Helps that I've recently moved a lot closer to the city, there are so many nice places to get out and do things.

I cycle to work every day. It's about 8km each way and I try to keep a quick pace all the way. I use Strava and have set up a few segments so I can try to best my own times along the way. I'd recommend it for anyone, whether you consider yourself a 'serious' runner/cyclist. I also try to do longer rides at weekends of at least 20km ~50km.

I'm dreading winter when it gets too icy. Riding to work saves me money and time and means I can take my daughter to karate when I get home.

Edit: I'm in my late 30's so I am starting to realise how important it is to take care of myself. :)

I get that a bit - helps if you have two workouts that you alternate

For a while I was alternating strength training at the gym with running each day - problem is that even with different workouts I got burnout fairly quickly

Sweat is one of the worst things about cycling to work since they're are no showers. I have to use the special cleansing deodorant towels they sell here. Gets the job done and I smell better than the PE teacher. I used the sweet thing as an excuse for a while, but at the end of the day, it's that or get fatter.

I have a 20 minute walk to the railway station, then a 30 minute train ride, change trains, another short ride, then about 10 minutes walk from the city station to work.  The reverse on the way home.

Unfortunately zero exercise. I just can't force myself. It's not that I'm opposed to the idea in principle, I'm far from that. On the other hand, in practical terms, I just can't get around to it, can't deal with the repetitive nature of the thing, and otherwise it's hard to explain but I can't get myself to do it. Even though it's critical to my health, if I want my NAFL etc. to go away rather than progress to irreversible damage.

My exercise consists primarily of walking and movement related to my work. 

I average 6939.699 steps on a weekday and 2689.041 on a weekend.  For me this translates to 3.417 and 1.324 miles respectively.The weekend value is significantly lower because I do not walk to work and I do not carry my phone (pedometer) on me at all times like I do during the week.  These data were collected from 12/8/2013 to 7/7/2015.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZzVRRI9.png)

An interesting calculation I was able to do with this data is miles on my shoes.  My last pair of shoes were used for 2298.32 miles.

I've been recovering from a bike crash for the past month so I haven't able to get any :(

Usually I exercise between 10-15 hours a week, the large majority of which is either cycling or running. I usually bike more than I run, so around 100-150 miles on the bike and 5-30 miles running. I lift maybe once a week but I do some push ups and basic strength stuff at home when I get bored.

Good on you! And same here. I try to run 2-3 times a week. It's been rainy the last week so I haven't been able to run in a few days. I like to pretend I'm running away from whatever is on my mind which has helped me condition myself to want to run when I feel bad. Seems to be a pretty good routine for me.

2 miles every morning and weights at night.  Just got back from the gym.  So.  Hungry.

Lost a lot of weight since my son was born. He's not really walking yet and carrying him about and not spending a fraction of the time I used to sitting down makes a world of difference.

Got back into horse riding in the last 6 months. 3 hours a week isn't much but i feel a bit more energetic for it. Used do a lot of hunting and cross country as a kid. There's a place near me doing polocross I'm thinking of giving that a go if it doesn't cost much.

Been going to the gym fairly steadily for the past 11 years (turned 28 recently).

It's so much easier to work out once you're through the first couple of weeks. I've barely gone this summer and I'm really feeling it as I try to get back into it.

Been going to the gym fairly steadily for the past 11 years (turned 28 recently).

It's so much easier to work out once you're through the first couple of weeks. I've barely gone this summer and I'm really feeling it as I try to get back into it.

Once it becomes routine (took around 6 weeks for me to finally get into the rhythm of it), it's really easy.  The problem is, a lot of people that start trying to go to the gym usually give up before then.  :(

This is so true.  After a few weeks it becomes habit and I would actually be in a bad mood if I didn't go.  Problem is, after a few weeks of not going to the gym, that becomes the habit and the guilt of not going drifts away.

I usually do nothing, but then fencing starts and I realize how out of shape I am and start running three or four times a week

Run at least three times a week, walks with the girl on other days. I keep saying I'm going to start lifting again too, but that hasn't happened yet...

I'm the same way - even though I've got a gym membership I'm usually too beat to go lift weights

Plus I hate the gym environment - much nicer running

If I don't go to the gym after work, and I don't specifically have something to do, like some shopping trip or a haircut or something, I feel so weird and aimless. Like I'll just sit down on my couch and say to myself "this doesn't feel right..."
