    Luck and metabolism mostly. Plenty of walking in there and well work is very physical so good work out there and we all play table tennis and the like on break (fast movements can work out well), some situps in there too if I feel like it I'm not overly keen on doing press-ups as I don't really have the space for it. Other than that I don't eat much and what I do eat tends to be quite healthy so guess you can say good diet in there too. Though I noticed I have lost the muscle definition (note not a 6 pack just some definition I had) in the stomach area lately this makes me feel pretty fat in knowing I had it and lost it but if I choose to do it I could get it back in a few months maybe I will join a gym.

    Social anxiety disorder prohibits me from venturing to the outside world to merely "exercise".

    I do about 50-70 push-ups and sit-ups every other day. I occasionally do other stuff, and my metabolism helps, too.

    I go to the track by my house like 4 times a week. Yeah, great fun. I'm not even sure if it does anything.

    I'm forced to run three to four times a week for three-six miles, and then the other days do push-ups and sit-ups.

    <_< I'll be going to boot camp, so I'm workin' the hell out. LOTS of running, sits ups, not so many push ups or pull up. -_-' Not a lot of arm strength.

    Some pilates, pushups, and pullups are thrown around every day. I also do DDR a lot; it works wonders. Sometimes I run for a few miles, or walk home from school.

    I'll be going to Hawaii in a few days, so that's my major motivation.

    boot camp??

    do military presses, benchpresses, rows, pullups/chinups...you need to work out your upper body a lot

    plus running miles at a time

    skateboarding can really whip you into shape it can also make you stuck on the couch for a month with a broken bone though.

    Really? I didn't know that (sarcasm). That's just what I'm doing in my spare time. I'm in the delayed entry program, so they're working me out as well. I do military presses too, but meh, only 30 or so a day.

    I swim a few times a week, and play soccer a bit other than that. I really should get down to doing some more exercise, 'cos i'm not as fit as i once was.

    I stay in shape (and I use ‘‘shape’’ loosely) by walking to & from work, and (eating) about an apple a day.
