        When I have access to a good gym I have the following routine: Every Other Day: Weight Lifting for Major Muscle Groups The Other Days: Treadmill for an hour When I just have access to a treadmill I will use the treadmill every day for about one to two hours. I prefer two but one is hard sometimes with other time constraints. My special rule is that I can always skip a formal workout for an informal one. Ie, I can skip the treadmill for an opportunity at Tennis one day. The important part is being physically active for a portion of the day.

              I do some running and a lot of high intensity interval based workouts at home, similar to cross fit. I've built a bit of equipment over the past couple of years, sandbags, rings, kettle bells and the like. I just put in a pullup bar as a birthday present for my wife over the weekend.

                      I try to engage in daily marathon workouts with the local cheerleading team from the college, ideally augmented by having at least two oriental massage technicians balancing on my back for additional weight. I tried Swedish assistants once, but there's not enough room on my back for two of them.

                        I started walking at lunch and taking the stairs about a year ago, and added basketball for an hour twice a week. Since then, I've lost nearly 70 pounds, going from 320 pounds down to roughly 250 - 260 pounds. :) Flynn

                          You want to replace curly braces with "End Sub", "Then", "End If", "Next", and spaces?

                            I try to go to the beach (hike/swim) or do some other random physical activity (volleyball) on a weekly basis. I find that doesn't work well over the winter and I usually end up gaining 10-20 pounds. But summer comes around and it flies right off (with a couple months of going to the gym twice or so a week). I also used to have an elliptical, but it got noisy (and no grease on this planet would help) so I got rid of it :( Winter's almost here... time to fatten up again.

                              I started going for a 4 kilometer walk every day, one week ago. I don't know how much weight I've lost, because now I'm 28k from home :)

                                    I used to lift weights 5 days a week or more but that was 6 years ago before I met my SO. Now we ride bikes about 50 miles on weekends for probably 20 to 30 weekends depending mostly on the weather.

                                        This has become something I've placed a lot of importance on lately having gone past 40 recently and having been fat and lazy and overweight for much of my 30's and not feeling too great physically and being stressed and tired most of that time. In the last year I've lost over 40 pounds of fat and in the last couple of months alone become in much better shape than I think I have ever been in. For the past couple of years I've excercised pretty regularly. I was in pretty bad shape at the outset, I used to mountain bike a lot then just got lazy for a couple of years and put on a lot of weight. I decided I couldn't go on like that, if I were to chart it, it didn't look like a future I wanted for myself. I started out easy with walking as fast as possible for an hour a day. I felt better and more able to do it and fairly quickly started to actually enjoy it and moved up to adding some pretty steep hills and faster walking and getting back into mountain biking but on pretty tame trails, I did end up losing quite a lot of weight but more through diet than exercise which I've since come to understand was useful for basic bodily maintenance but wasn't really anything more intense than normal people who don't work in front of a computer all day probably get just doing their jobs. Everything changed though a few months ago when I learned about three things which changed my routine and have had a very positive impact on my physical and mental wellbeing. I was reading an article online about how scientists were proving that it's possible to get the benefits of a long period of exercise in just a few minutes and it mentioned Crossfit training in passing. (I can't find that article again but here's a good one in the New York Times: Can you get fit in six minutes a week?[^]) Crossfit is a training method that specializes in very intense training for functional fitness, i.e. stuff people like firefighters need to be able to do, i.e. really intense physically demanding tasks quickly. It's very popular with firefighters and military type people but also with the average person of all ages. The videos I came across showed people doing insane things[
