Over the last year and a half I've been doing a lot of sport climbing and I'm a bit of a badminton fan though I'm not horribly great at it.

Climbing is a great deal of fun and it teaches you balance, co-ordination and it improves your stamina and strength; a good all-rounder.

Cycling. I find I get good exercise out of it and it improves my spacial awareness / reflexes.

Indoor 5's? That's ruinous, you don't get a let up unless you take a break; constant running.
We used to play 2 hours of that on a Sunday, anybody that was still pished from the night before fairly sobered up as they sweated the alcohol out.

Re: What do you guys do to keep fit?
Normally soccer, badminton, and running/elliptical.  Right now badminton kind of sucks (the local club got too popular), soccer is hard to get ahold of for playing, and so I'm left with running.  I want to get into weight training as well since running keeps those lungs and heart happy but does little for your physique.

But I'm also a lazy git...particularly in the winter months.

Push-ups, hiking, and chin-ups daily.  Of course some days I get to do more strenious tasks like cutting trees and stuff.

Two buckets of cement on each side and a metal pole...

Think that was my answer the last time we had this thread IIRC.

Re: What do you guys do to keep fit?
Im surprised no one has mentioned just going to the gym in general.  Thats what I do but to be more specific I do about 35 minutes of cardiovascular (bike elliptical and treadmill) and then about an hour or so of weightlifting.  Its great to relieve the school stresses.

Oh yeah and I have just started martial arts and Yoga (this kinda takes the back burner to the Biology major thing) : (

Re: What do you guys do to keep fit?
I do my job. I'm a postman ;) 3-6 hours a day doing a mix of cycling, walking, running, stairclimbing and some lifting. Impossible not to stay at least somewhat fit.

[Edit] And since it's winter, too much gd climbing over mountains of snow, too.

I've taken up fencing, and I have to walk between 2/3 and 4/3 of a mile each day to get to class.

Re: What do you guys do to keep fit?
I'd run, but (ironically enough) the long-ass walk to the gym puts me off.
