I used to do bodyweight strength stuff at home (pullups, pushups, squats, etc) every other day but I just got peer pressured in to doing a 10K run at the end of november. So now I run 3-4 times a week + long hikes a few times a month.

0 amount daily, I've been leading a very sedentary life the past 2 years and I am starting to worry it's effecting my health very negatively so I'm starting running again thought I feel WAY out of shape after less than a mile run.

I try to work out every other day. Usually ~20 minutes cardio followed by lifting. Of course when exam week rolls around...  :rolleyes:

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.

Barely nothing.. But when I'm not in the mood to cook anything fancy or so I usually go to a pizza place thats further away from the closest one, in that way I manage to sneak in some walks. :rolleyes:

I cycling as well, and do some free-weigh strength exercises at home. I am very sorry for your crash, I hope you are OK now, and your bicycle.

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.

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.

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've no idea what you're talking about. Do you want a hug?
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

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..."

You don't want chicken legs, don't skip leg day
