What exercise did you do today?

[Ace of Pop]

Im a little annoyed at those who recommend Sport. All my friends who thought i was quite mad playing Action Man when younger and did nothing but watch are now quite healthy.I now face a constant miserable battle not to get fat.

The two have nothing to do with eachother.. you might still be used to eating the same amount as when you exercised a lot. Just a question of some research and lifestyle changes. Though if you think you can drink loads of alcohol and still not get fat.. too bad wont work for most of us.

Never forget we all got different body types.. i need to do a lot to keep slim others don't has nothing to do with sports at an early age but all with bodytype.

True, but i built up muscles , to keep them trim gets more of a chore then pleasure now im old.And ive worn some joints that moderation would have stopped.Look at Jeff Capes today.!! .

Then loose the muscle.. but slowly but that does mean eating less. I got plenty of muscles myself and only one minor injury. Sometimes my right shoulder gets inflamed a bit after certain weight exercises and sometimes not. Real strange but that is how it is. But keeping trim is far more an eating (and drinking) thing as anything else.

My day is not done yet.

I will lift weights from 4 pm to 5:15.

I will then drive the short distance to my jogging area. I used to ride my bike to this particular area, but the traffic is kind of dangerous.

I jog 2.4 km and I time myself to make sure I do it in less than 14 minutes.

I then walk about 5 minutes.

Next, I sprint 300 m and time myself to make sure I do it in less than 60 seconds.

Afterwards, I jog 5 km in about 30 minutes.

Finished.

Everyday except Sundays and Wednesdays.

I'm 40 yrs old, 185 cm and 81 kg and I do not consider myself a fit person. I'm your average tall skinny guy on the street. My conditioning used to be much much better. I drink.

[GuyL]

Sex intercourse.

Will probably do that again later in the evening, providing that the missus does not object or that my wrist doesn't hurt.

[mamypoko]

45 min walk with an audio book...if my sometimes walking partner shows up, then I'll get a rundown of what's wrong in my country of origin.

[sunshine51]

Had sex with the missus this morning, then both of us had breakfast, a wash up afterwards

then we rode 40K's of single track on our MTB's and now....my fingers are exercising posting

this dribble.....just FYI of course since the OP asked...same same....different day...

I love walking but now I can't do it so much as the bone in my heel has become very sore (one person said it could be that I have developed a "fallen arch" so I went to the sports department in a big store and bought a proper metal hula-hoop with sponge covering and intermittent notches. I try to get in 3 fifteen minute stints daily. Great, can do it while watching the TV.

[b17]

Rode my hybrid bike 70 km from central Singapore to Changi village and back - best part is watching the sunrise at the beach with a strong cup of coffee in my hand .

[robertson468]

Did three one and a half km runs with my three dogs individually which takes about 30+ minutes and then 40 minutes anarobic exercise. I do this for three/four days then one day of rest and repeat all over again. Despite accelerating towards 70 years of age next month, feel really great. Sad thing is, if I can't do the exercise for any reason for a couple of days, I feel really sh..y.

[advancebooking]

I walked to the market and back, mixed mortar and laid 40 breeze blocks. I washed my tools, and am now getting drunk. The concept of 'exercise' never entered into my way of life, I just work when I can. Picture from yesterday.

but he is talking about today... not yesterday. getting drunk is only exercise for your wrist and throat

[AnotherOneAmerican]

Today, another 45Km on the bicycle.

[TheFishman1]

Had my massage girl come over got a 2 hour massage, then poked her for 20 mins now I think I need to rest.

yes, yes, the foto was from the then yesterday but I did the same thing every day up to today come to that. I earned good money as a landscape gardener. I did a lot of stuff that the client could very well have done himself and watched them drive off to the expensive fitness club. I never did get over my contempt for people that wouldn't do common labour in their own gardens 'what would the neighbours think?' and then spend even more money performing really stupid repetitive tasks on a tread mill or something. They were often contemptuous of me also, of course, and I made sure they paid for that. For 3 years I worked as a life saver at the local pool in the evenings and saw these guys coming in (swimming IS the best exercise going). I once got 'who do you think you are?' (a university graduate, actually), so I had the pleasure of throwing him out. Sorry, I'm ranting.

[peterb17]

Walked down the stairs to the shop in my condo block ( took the lift back up) to buy a bottle of truly delicious Montclair. That's enough for today.

[godden]

The wife's still angry, still running.

Made My 3in1 Nescafe all by myself. .

Far too much for me, I raised my voice, and asked the missus to make it...almost strained a muscle having to lift the cup to my mouth, haven't trained the good wife to do it yet.

[ezzra]

Every morning I run 10 km swim 5 km 200 push up and 200 sits up and than I WAKE UP.....

[buck99]

I go to the gym on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I bicycle on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Although I exercise each day, I don't like doing it.

[Krataiboy]

Amiable troll. But still a troll.

[maybefitz]

I think that a reply must take age of respondee into consideration. I certainly can't do the exercises I did 4 years ago to keep fit. At 76, I have a daily bike ride, about 4 k. Usually takes 16/17 minutes - the important thing is I push it to get my pulse going and breathing harder. What is noticeable is that all the friendly natives consider me as something different from Thais, not many Thais at 76 even think about fitness. I get a wave from nearly everyone - and a wai from the children on the way to school. I'm told that the games/fitness teacher at the school uses me as an example of keeping fit and the benefits; my occasional hospital check-up is still good across the board. What I consider important is the motivation to keep doing it daily - so easy to find an excuse not to make the effort at my age.

[klauskunkel]

oct 18 - 19, 12 km midnight run in BKK

[Pii Kate]

90 minutes swimming.

[Pdavies99]

Well I am impressed!!! Surprised as well?

I used to be overweight but since retiring I have have got my weight to 72 Kgs, (Now age 64) I ride a Trek Mountain bike every day, but on average only about 5-10 kms.

Sometimes, about once week,I ride Pattaya to Bang Saray, about 21 Kms, each way.

I eat carefully and sometimes drink a little too much, but as i said I am surprised because:

1/. I do not see many foreigners etc riding bikes on the road, or come to that walking real distance (Especially on these side walks!)

2/. I do not see crowds of keep fit types in the Gyms.

3/. Why are so any people well overweight and gasping for air, if they are exercising?

Don't get me wrong, its everyone's choice, I was just so surprised to hear of all these distances people ride!

today I took a walk 6 kms, by the beach and I came by road.

This allowed me to hop between jellyfish and count the cars and pick flowers along the road.

I regularly of walking and swimming.

I did two short sessions of non stop skipping, went to the park and did 20 mins work on the machines.

I look at manual labor as something which breaks your body down rather than builds it up. Just because something makes you tired doesn’t mean it qualifies as healthy exercise.

I am one of those guys who spent hours in the health club everyday playing squash, lifting weights, stretching, sauna, Jacuzzi and regular massages. Never cared for manual labor, however. Even athletes who are very fit need to train in order to maintain a healthy well balanced physique. Lifting a few beers just isn’t the same thing. My years in the health club have left me a very healthy and happy 60 year old.

I was getting ready to go for a ride today when a neighbor’s dog decided it was a good idea to give birth at our house instead of its own. This is the second time this has happened and with two different dogs. Fortunately this time the owner eventually came to collect the puppies. All our dogs have been fixed so the puppies are definitely not ours.

With an extra day off, perhaps I will opt for a different longer route tomorrow, depending on how I feel of course.

Having never been a Dad is something else which has contributed to me being healthy and happy at 60.

When you get out of bed in the morning, can you count that as a sit-up?............................

[perconrad]

Every day at about 4.30 pm the dog comes and pull me up from the chair and then we go walking mostly me, the dog runs around. I do sprint several times to get the hearth beat up. Since we exercise around a lake the dog, a Golden Retriever, comes with a stick she want me to throw into the water, so she also swims a lot and I get execise for the arms. We do this about 1-1,5 hours almost every day. I am 68.

When we come home it is good with a cold beer and some nuts.

It's never too late, that it is today, with multiple births. How are you going to call: OBAMA, Holland, MERKEL, Bashar el-Assad,
