Treadmills

[Hollycat]

So, I have this treadmill, on average I use it once every two days and usually either walk 3 miles ate 3 miles an hour or run for 1 at 8 miles an hour. (that's as fast as it goes)

God that thing is exhausting when running

It doesn't help that my feet are all messed up (No idea why, they've changed over the last year and half, I keep having to have surgery on them)

Anyways, what kinds of physical exercises do you do, and how often?

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I run a few times a week. Usually anywhere between 2-7 miles. And when I am not being lazy, I go to the gym and lift weights for 45 minutes 4-5 times a week. Everyday I ride my bicycle about 2.5 miles when I take my dog for his run. And I shadow box with weighted gloves 15-45 minutes sparingly throughout the week.

During my short stay in Vegas this past month the apartment building I was staying at had a free gym for its residents. I'm not sure of the technical names for all the machines but I ran on a treadmill a lot and was able to do various forms of weight lifting/muscle building. The neighborhood I lived in was safe as well so sometimes at night I would just go for a walk/jog for an hour.

I lost weight while I was there and it shows. Now that I'm back in the midwest surrounded by cornfields and not a lot to do, I tend to just bicycle on long stretches of country road. I'm going to start getting in to jogging regularly again. I suppose I'm just working on cardio at the moment.

Work, and about 38 hours a week.

I get paid to exercise.

You're missing the point. My job is nothing but physical exertion.

I used to run my smurfing brains out, but seven knee injuries later (six on the same side) have made any sort of impact exercise pretty much unreasonable until after I get my knee replacement and subsequent rehabilitation.

So... the extent of genuine exercise for me is dropping once a week for 100 push-ups, and cycling from time to time (my chain broooooke ). But, I do work on my feet for 45-60 hours a week, so there's that.

Otherwise, I handle myself through the glory of not-diet, which is making smarter food choices roughly five days a week. Dropped 50 pounds in less than a year, and now just flux between 150 & 160. I'm not terribly concerned with the weight but there is a little belly roll that I could live without. Might integrate crunches into a daily thing, before I shower in the morning or something.

Bleh, nothing lately. I've been thinking I need to get back into running, at the very least, for physical exercise. I hate hate hate doing it, but there's no denying that my body overall feels better when I do it. It helps my sleep like nothing I've ever experienced, too.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I lift heavy things and put them back down 3-4 times a week.

Going up and down the stairs

Walking

...that's pretty much it

[Cuchulainn]

Never used a treadmill in me life.

I run every day or at a stretch every other day, how long for varies. I work out a bit with weights but that bores the tits off me tbh. Means to an end and the one thing I don't want happening is becoming a big armed, big chested, ludicrous looking man who looks for every opportunity on earth to take his shirt off in public. Those people are dicks.


So yea, I like the old running.

[noxious.sunshine]

I hate walking/running on treadmills. That kind of exercise is murder on my back.

I love the elliptical though. And swimming, of course. I do neither atm, but I'm hoping to get my own elliptical machine soon.

I have an exercise bike that I sometimes sit on while watching series or movies. I also use my bicycle to get to work every weekday, and that's about 6 kilometers each way.

I used to practice martial arts but my working hours make that difficult these days. I'd like to pick it up again when I get a different job, maybe.

[theundeadhero]

I run for miles and miles at a time.
I don't like treadmills. They're boring and it's easier to run farther/faster on them than in the real world.

[Mirage]

But if you take that into account, you can calculate how many real running kilometers that would be!
