Poll How many days a week do you exercise
How many days a week do you exercise
Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
I feel so tired all the time it's a great effort to wash my car & that makes my arms hurt so bad it take 3 days to get over...LOL
Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
I try to build some exercise into daily life.
I'm not a believer in jumping into the car, driving to the gym, working up a sweat, then driving home.
Earlier this evening I walked down to the grocery & hardware stores to pickup a few things. When I do have my car out I will park as far away from the entrance as I can... to maximize the walking.
Last summer I was cycling into the office most days. There was a time when I was not working when I would go for long walks every morning... I would leave at 9am and be back home at noon... walking the whole time.
Now that I am working at home I have to make more of an effort to get some daily exercise.

Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
I get paid 3 hour a week to go too the gym, pending workload that is! Still recovering from broke ankle so it is hard for me, even worse when it is cold..

Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
Exercise is part of my life-it's part of who I am. Regardless of how sick or tired I became in all of this- I never gave up my exercise regime. The alarm goes off at 4:30 am, I'm out on the road for a 10-15 km run and as my name implys I workout at Crossfit 5 times a week. I throw X-country skiing in with that in the winter and Mountain biking in the summer. I love the feelings that are released when I workout hard.

Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
I have to exercise to keep my sanity. Releases stress (big time), helps my insomnia and I keep weight off. There are days that all I want to do is fall in front of the TV, but I force myself to the basement and do my 30 minutes on the elliptical (and always feel better for it).

Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
I am a gym person. I prefer to exercise outside, but the climate doesn't allow for that in the winter, plus I need to do something with the kiddos. They have fun playing while I can watch tv and burn some calories.

Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
Hmmm,
After a couple of years getting up early & going for a 5km walk/jog fell by the wayside. Also tried 5-7 km similar at work during luch break but that too fell in a heap.
The only way it now works is I stopped driving to work & walk 5 km home from where the bus drops me off this works - if I don't walk I don't get home. Getting to work
adds 2 kms in the morning all in all it is working. Next trick will be to copy carbonman & bike everywhere - am already giving serious though to the 16 kms from home to work & back
Time will tell

Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
Cpap has enabled me to move again. I am in the Gym at work 4 days a week. 15 minutes on the universal and 45 minutes on the elliptical. Sweating like a pig, heart at 125 all the while. It is amazingly beneficial to my psyche. When I started I was embarrassed about it (what is the fat guy exercising for?). Now it's like, screw 'em.
Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
In the winter 0 in the summer 3-6

Re: Poll How many days a week do you exercise
I walk 3+ miles 5-7 times a week....though it isn't always a brisk walk (or it might only start as one...)
When it is nice, I'll replace some of the walks with riding my bike.
