I'm just wondering, if or what type of fitness routines do you guys have, and how often you do it etc...?


I'am going almost every day to gym and then running (1 hour)

I think jogging is the best bet for me, if I can get up early enough. Cause I'm not going to run during the day when its too hot, or in the evening when people can stare at me panting on the road. :p

High School, 1999ish, right up to the first half of 2000., I had the chance to play basketball in PE. I loved it. I played reasonably well.

I would have continued it, had social pressures not prevented me from going near the school's team.

I have an exercise bike in my room - it currently serves as a clothes horse.

That is all.

The walk to and from the pub keeps me fit.

Martial arts. No finer workout than a bit of sparring. Plus you learn how to beat the living crap out of people. Not that you would, of course, but it's good to know you can handle yourself in a sticky situation. Plus it gives you self-discipline and confidence. :) Just make sure you find a good teacher... :nod:

Any team sport is also pretty good. Football (by which I mean soccer), basketball, volleyball etc. will get you pretty fit if you play regularly.

I wouldn't recommend jogging to be honest - it can be very damaging to your knee and ankle joints. Particularly road running - you can get shin splinters and all sorts. Try cycling - I cycle to work and back. It's only about 3km each way, but there and back twice on the weekend is pretty good, especially if you try and go at a decent speed. If you've got "nowhere to go" then just get a map and draw a route at random that starts and finishes at your house. Start with about 5-10km at a time, and do it a few times a week. Then increase the distance and/or frequency of your rides. It'll give you a very good cardio-vascular workout, and you'll get strong legs as well. It's not terribly good for flexibility though.

I have no objection to martial arts, except the gradings.... screw that, I have enough "expectations" in my academic life.

I run track every day after school. I have no hand eye coordination, and I stink at basketball, football, soccer, and what have you. So running isn't bad for me (I also do cross country).

Only a Freshman in highschool however, so I won't claim to be in any sort of tip top shape.:D

i climb into armor and fight in tournaments.  you'd be surprised how tired you can get in a 15 minute fight.  let alone the battles which sometimes last an hour and a half.

I need a new regiment since my old one is about to end because school is about to end.

I cycle (eccy bike, natch) a bit, used to play football.  Hard to find the energy when I'm working, though.

Not much besides walking to class.  I did play tennis for three years in high school; doing the running before practice was a new definition of hell. :p I'd like to start up some sort of exercise, but I have very little self-motivation; I'd rather sit in front of the PC than run until I'm wheezing for breath.

See thats the thing, when I do get going, I usually go for a good bit and by the time you're wheezing for breath you don't feel it because runners high has kicked in.  You need to get doing it enough to start to feel it and the rest seems to sort of go away.

I always found with running (or rather, running at 5-a-sides or 11-a-side; the former is non-stop) it's more muscle tiredness than shortness of breath.......

Especially indoors........quite possibly the most exhausting thing I've ever done, it's like a furnace and usually there's not even the option of water (nowhere to spit it).

ON the other hand, I do have the honour of guesting for my mate Matts uni team when they won a game for the first time in 3 years.... not that there'd be any connection between that and my silky skills, of course.
