anyone else exercise regularly???
 
I exercise every day and I was just wondering how many of you do, also. I have lost 50 pounds in fact. :D Anyways, what kind of exercise do you do?

I vary between exercise videos and jogging. My faorite videos are the Richard Simmons ones (don't laugh, they're really great workouts!), and the Bellydance videos by Neena and Veena Present.

My friend has the Bellydance videos and she absolutely loves them. She's lost 17 lbs so far by doing that and exercising. I haven't tried them yet but they look fun.

they ARE fun! You really feel the burn too. :D They're very different than your typical workout, but I guess that's why I love them!

No exercise for me ever!
I know that I should exercise, but I don't like to do anything but dance. Maybe I'll try the treadmill.

I love to walk; I normally go to the gym 2-3 times a week; and I love to dance.

I run about 6 days a week. 4 nights i go like 2 and a half miles, the other 2 nights i go about a mile and a half.

I just recently started running again after i finished the Corps. A&M has a Corps of Cadets like at VMI or the Citadel. You don't have to be i the Corps to go to A&M though, in fact, out of about 44,000 at A&M the Corps only numbers about 2,000.

Anyway, you join when you are a fish, and if you take longer than 4 years to graduate, which some of us do ;) you get to spend your 5th year as a normal student. Anywho, after i finished the Corps, i kinda stopped working out. That, and the combination of being a good brother, and goin to bars with bros that need drinking buddies kinda put some weight on. So thats' what influenced my health kick this summer.

I go to the gym at least 4 times a week- usually before work. I like to do the treadmill or the aerobic trac.

I go to the gym 3 - 4 times a week after work. I usually do some cardio and then lift weights.

I go to the gym at least 4 times a week (usually after work). Sometimes I'll take classes (like step or total body conditioning), other times I'll do various cardio machines for about 45 min. to an hour and then do some light weight work. I can't imagine not working out...I feel so much better, besides the various other benefits.

Cardio 5 days a week, weights 4 days a week.

all the time
 
I have worked out 5 or 6 days a week all summer. Usually I do 40 minutes of cardio at the gym (mostly running on the treadmill), or I go running outside in my neighborhood if it's not too hot.

Running has really gotten me in shape (esp. my lower body) way better than the elliptical machine ever did, back when that was my main form of cardio.

I've lost 12 pounds this summer. When school starts up again, I probably won't have the time or desire to work out almost every day, but I know there's no way I'll be able to keep the weight off unless I go running four days a week, at least.

I'm a big slacker.

I would work out but my husband broke my treadmill when he was trying to move it with his dad...he dropped it on his hand!!! We seriously thought he broke his hand. The top of his hand was swollen over an inch high!!

amycat412 08-07-2002 01:46 PM

I run 4-5 miles or rollerblade 15 miles 2-3 times a week.
I work out for 1 1/2 hours with my trainer 3 times a week.

Usually about every 6-8 months, I'll cut this back to 2-3 workouts total per week for 2-3 months to cure the inevitable burn out I suffer and the repetitive stress iinjuries I am prone to.

I've had this kind of a workout schedule for 12 years. :)

sigmagrrl 08-07-2002 01:55 PM

I work out six days a week for 2 hours, at least. I use the elliptical trainer or treadmill for 35-60 minutes, then take a step class for 60 minutes, and then 20 minutes strength training. I swim for 90 minutes on Saturdays. I've kept up this schedule for almost 2 years without fail (except for when I am away on vacation).

I have lost 235lbs so far, 70 left!!!
