How much exercise do you get and what are you going to do about It?

What is this "exercise" you speak of? :~ Does running with my Guild Wars character count?

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.

Probably that's why he uses VI too, which does not have the Intellisense. All for excercise.

Yep. Sometimes I wish there was a language without curly braces and semicolons that would not require parentheses for each
ifandforstatement. Something simple and beautiful that would look like:Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox "Hello, World!"

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

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 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[

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 used to really think long endurance style workouts were the way to go and did them a *lot* but after reading a diverse amount on exercise and physiology lately I've come across some pretty consistent stuff that discouraged me from it on two fronts: it's been pretty conclusively proven that high intensity interval training gives the same results indistinguishable from having done the long endurance workout but in only a few minutes and long endurance exercise is *very* hard on the body leading to all sorts of nasty conditions(at least in extreme forms of that type of exercise such as bicycle racers that do 4 or more hour endurance rides regularly throughout the week).

Hey cool, I just posted before I read your post, I've been dipping my toe in the crossfit waters lately doing the high intensity interval stuff and kettlebells etc. I don't currently have a pull up bar but I'm going to build a freestanding one after coming across some plans on the crossfit message board. I couldn't physically do all the crossfit stuff at the moment but I like everything I've been doing and have stuck with it for a few months now and will add more and more as I'm able. No crossfit gyms around here but that's probably for the best anyway, cheaper to do it yourself as long as you have a convenient wife also willing and you can check each other's form.

Sissy: http://runningbarefoot.org/[^] Actually in all seriousness you should read up before you buy a pair because a lot of people find that the more heavily padded the shoes the more likely you are to get injured. I'd buy a pair of these [^]if they sold them around here.

I run about 5 times per week.
- 3 mornings to work, 9 km each.
- 3 afternoons from work, 9 km each (doh!).
- 1 long Saturday run, somewhere between 16 and 28 km.
- 1 Sunday interval exercise, 6x1 km or 10x400m, of course with 2 km warmup and 2 km cooldown.
So, I'm running on average 70-90 km per week.
keencomputer asked:
what are you going to do about It?
Hmmm... a tough one. I'd like to do more intervals, but not more training days per week. What a dilemma, huh? :cool:
