How do you excersize/workout?

Do you excersize/workout?

Published on January 30, 2005 By 47songs In WinCustomize Talk

It's that time of year again when advertisers are trying to peddle their excersize equipment. Over the years I've aquired a stair master, a ski machine, and ab helper, a stationary bike (plus I have a 10 speed for outdoors), weight bench with weights, weight machine... I've belonged to this gym and that gym (Gold's gym, Gym World...), this program and that program, from aerobasize, to water aerobics...

For right now, because of all the snow piled up on the streets in my town, I can't get outside to do much and I don't belong to any gym right now, so I've resorted to just riding my stationary bike. I ride it 3-4 days a week for an hour each time. I also do a little strength training with weights.

What turns you on in the excersize world? Or what turns you off? How many days a week to you excersize, work out ... and how many hours a day? Do you get your workouts from playing sports or are you a workout fanatic?

Or do you just let your fingers do the walking on your keyboard?

Good eating tips, Jinn Fizz. I don't follow either of those diets, but also subscribe to the higher protein less carb philosophy.

I like to walk!! On a clear day, you can see forever! But the weather's got to improve for me to be able to get out there!!

I don't pay to try to stay healthyl, I try to have healthy habits: walk to the convenience store instead of taking the car, take the steps instead of the elevator, that sort of things. I'd be curious to know how much I walk every day, I now I walk a lot. Probably close to 2 hours, if I put it all together.

Another goodie, Wizop paxx, is not fighting for a parking space so close to the place you want to go! Park far away and WALK to your destination! It's good for what ails ya!

I dont bother "working out" per say..My trade is very physical.. I am normally carrying 30-50 extra pounds that amounts to hand tools and nails... Climbing 30' ladders, moving heavy beams,lumber etc, etc..8-10 hours a day 6 days a week.. After a days work all I feel like doing is comming home, eating dinner, showering, popping a CD in the player and relaxing the rest of the evening on-line..

Even if I had the energy ( I used to 20 years ago..LoL) I think that working out after a normal day at work would be just a tad-bit overkill!..

Zero.

I'd be the unhealthy idiot then.

I don't work out, I eat what I want and I drink too little. My hair's going from black to brown so my kidneys are probably mad at me. Some say, I'm strip-mining my body, but I remain unconvinced.

However, I eat much less than the average person (not because of diet or anything, but because I'm not a cow who needs to feed all day), so I'm skinny and underweight. And I always take the stairs instead of the elevator. I work at the sixth floor, so go figure.
