Members ambientnoize Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 .. well? Having spent the past few weeks getting back some form of routine with regards to sporting/physical activity, i was wondering to what extent you guys leave the guitar stool and go outside? I'm starting back regular 5 and 7-a-side football (soccer), and have been getting back into running (ran 10k today).. suffice to say, i've been sore all week. Resting tomorrow. I'm also looking to get back into the gym, but that's for next week. What do you guys do to keep in shape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Wood Wizard Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 My day job is pretty active in the summer and warmer months. lots of moving 40 foot ladders and climbing up and down all day. Hauling tools/rocks who knows what. But honnestly I never flat out exercise. Im 5'11" and weigh about 125 so i really dont have much motivation to do much haha. 10K is hardcore dude, congrats on that and getting fit.

Members TravvyBear Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 3 or 4 days a week. 30 - 45 minutes. Mostly cardio and bodyweight exercising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members christianatl Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 I spent the better part of the last two years working out w/ a trainer 2x a week and 2 or 3x a week by myself. I haven't worked out since our last tour. I have no money to pay the trainer or have a gym membership, and I graduated in December last year so I can't use the gym at school anymore either. I wish I could just run, but I broke two vertebra a while back, so running is a no-no. I found out the hard way after I had to have a steroid epidural. Twice.

Members OMTerria Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Um...I walk a mile to school and a mile back on Mondays and Wednesdays... I used to a good bit, but I've been eating less and don't really have the energy to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mlabbee Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 4-6 days a week. I don't allow myself alcohol unless I worked out that day, so I have plenty of motivation :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Harvester1199 Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 3 days a week, lots of cardio and some weights im usually at the gym for 2-3 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jisatsu Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 2-3 times a week in the gym, followed by 1-2 times playing ice hockey a week. No wonder I'm so beat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tom92 Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Not enough unfortunately. Play football every saturday and that's about it. I was running everyday practically during the summer but my friend went to uni and now I don't have the motivation. I've noticed that everybody is playing 5/6/7 a side football now. I can't understand why though, 11 a side is way more fun if not 10 times more infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AluminumFalcon Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 This is one of the reasons why I miss school. When I was doing my Masters last year I worked at the school gym. I worked out 4-5 times a week (lots of cardio) and was playing hockey 2-3 days a week. Since graduating I'm down to treadmill 4 days a week (if that) and hockey once a week.

Members arthurdent'd Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 4-5 days a week, stretching, pilates ball stuff, 300 various crunches, 50 push ups. I use just my body-weight. I'm on my feet at work 40 hours a week, and am recovering from a doozie of a back injury last year. I'm 44, 6'3" 185 lbs., and have degenerative disc disease and arthritis in my back and knees so strengthening the muscles around my skeleton is my last recourse to completely falling apart. I am kinda really ripped right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members penelope twee Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Nothing really although that should probably change. I suppose I walk a couple of miles each day but that isn't exactly intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 I cycle about a 5 mile round trip to and from work 5 days a week. It's not really strenuous though. I need to lose about 3 stone, so I should really do more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Harry_Manback1 Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Gym 3 days a week, run 1-2. I try to get in at least a 6 miler once a week. Ran a 9.5 mile "beer run" a couple of weeks ago and actually felt pretty good. My New Years resolution was to complete a 10k this year. My work hours are pretty flexible so it's relatively easy to take a long lunch and get some exercise in. Now if I could just stop consuming so much alcohol I might see some real results.

Members Gonkboy Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 I box as many times a week as I can. The new semester is starting so I won't have as much time to go boxing as I'd like because these wankers want a uni education. I'm 5'11 and weigh 150lbs. My main vice is beer. If you've never done boxing give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members loosegroove Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 I play tennis a few times a week. I need to hit the gym, or when it's warm out rock climb and/or surf a bit to feel really good about things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yanktar Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Being Agnostic I do not believe in exorcising. But I go to the gym 3-5 times a week for 2-3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 2-3 times during the week for 45 minutes or so I'll do cardio and strength training. Then, on Saturdays, I'll either play basketball or racquetball... or maybe swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members srspud Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Retired pro cyclist - I exercise a lot still. I have a really active lifestyle. In the summer I'm schlepping backpacks to high elevations, climbing mountains, riding a lot, carrying catering equipment and digging holes. Staying fit is berry berry good to me. About the only time I'm not being really active is when I'm eating or sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
