Do you exersize? How?

[JSmith]

What kind of exersize equipment do you use?

And you people with 5 and 6 speds, the left leg shuffle and my right arm does it don`t count

One sit-up a day... get out of bed in the morning, that's half... I go to bed at night, that's the other half :-laf

Running my mouth and pushing my luck!



Seriously, bicycling is the lowest impact aerobic excercise I can handle.

 

[Doc Tinker]

The 5 and 6 speeds should count. After my back surgery, the doctor told me that since I drive a truck with a stick, I didn't have to do physical therapy.



I do need to start exercising though. Now that I don't work in the garage I don't move enough to stay fit. Wrenching was all the excercise I ever needed, until now.

Before I got the farm and had some free time, I used to hike a lot. Along with that, I would do a 45 minute step/dumbell warmup then an hour on the Nordic Track about every other day. Keep it simple, shop for used equipment.

I end up being active enough that I don't have time to exercise. I pitch tents (large ones) carry heavy objects (well, they're heavy to me!) and move furniture around. Life should be exercise.

Exersize

The wife & I bought us a treadmill and we walk a mile three times aweek, we need to do more but we are working on it. Harv

I have a BowFlex. I have read comments in other threads about the truth in advertising regarding this product. All I can say is that one must keep up the routine with ANY type of exercise machine to get results. For well over a year, I have kept off 25 lbs and 8% body fat loss since starting my diet and exercise program. I like the BF because I do not have to deal with weights (space is a concern for me) and it gives me "almost" all of the gym excercises I want.

Some walking and hiking but mostly bicycling. In the summer I try to ride an hour a day minimum and in the winter what I can get in between the weather or in the garage on the wind trainer 30 minutes a day. I don't ride every day but I probably should. I feel much better after a nice ride. My longest ride was 140 miles in a day; this summer I shoot for 200. Those are real long days wth many hours in the saddle. We also have a tandem and the wife can ride with me and stay up with me. It works out real well; she watches the scenery I pedal my butt off. It is something like a freight train with the rear locomotive sometimes going off line for awhile. But, at least we are exercising together.

I lift weights 4 days a week. Mostly free weights with some machines. Cardio on the teadmill 30-45 mins a day 3-4 times a week.

I want a new Dodge!

Jeff,



Don't you like the '01 Ford?

 

[drawson]

Free weights 4 times a weeks, 150 sit ups every other day, and rack ball 3 times a week. Been doing this for three months now and have gone from 295 lbs to 265 lbs. Rack ball really gets my heart a pumping...

Yeah, It's been a great truck. I'm just really diggin' the new Dodges and I'm starting to miss my old one. I'll order an '04 at the end of the year.

 

[HEMI®Dart]

Free weights 3-4 times a week. Some machine work ( Gold's Gym). Treadmill or High School track 2-3 times a week. 3+ miles each time. Been doing this for 6 months. HUGE improvement in energy + weight loss and muscle mass.



I wish I started 10 years ago.

 

[Silver]

I have a gym membership and workout 3 to 4 times a week in the off-season. I like free weights, but sometimes, if the girls are pretty, I move over to the machines. Most of my cardio is done when my dog gets out and high-tails it to the river.

 

[merryman]

Mini-trampolene most times, twice daily 20 minutes.

Buy a farm. Having horses, people will ask if I ride much. What this ride you speak of I reply?

 

[Dane]

Surfing, sit-ups and bench press. I have a small gym in my home theater. Arthritis has put a huge damper on all three in the last 2 years though

 

[klenger]

Bicycling and hiking, but I haven't been doing enough of it lately. Also have a treadmill for indoor activity.
