how often do you exercise??
- Thread starter nightyard
- Start date
Walk the dog every morning before work, a good hour round the park. Then gym in the evenings3-4 times a week and maybe a swim or two thrown in. Weekends, more walking. I try and keep a balance because I love my food and drink but after turning 30 I can no longer eat and and drink all that I want without consequences so now have to work a bit harder to keep the weight off.
Saying that, I'm not fat, I'm 5ft 10, 30" waist and weight just over 11 stone. I use the gym because I have an office job and I go after work. I don't live by the sea and don't have mountains or vast stretches of rugged landscape in my back garden so it works for me.

I work in a school so I'm on half term 
4 x 1hr sessions a week (Boxing, Weights, Bootcamp) and then maybe a short run once a week as the knees are like the original springs on a Z!
Eat healthy during the week so I can enjoy my weekend, not looking to be super fit, just avoiding getting fat as I approach 40
Always on a PC at work, so need a distraction

I'm a freelance programmer, so I keep my own schedule.

My misses gets really annoyed. I am actually going to do some work next week. Maybe.
I am 75 years old, and my wife and I walk around the block daily, two miles up and down significant hills, except when it is colder than -15C (as it is at the moment). My weight is within 2 pounds of what it was on my wedding day fifty years ago. This would be OK if it was still distributed in the same manner - but alas, it is not. My plan is to lose a couple of pounds in the spring while claying and waxing my Z4.

Sort of a natural outcome of events really. Joined a startup in 1997 (before startups were cool) as sole developer. Turned around a crap prototype into something that worked. Got taken over in 2000 & parent company mothballed product and made us redundant in 2001.
Sooo, took the fairly brave move of starting a new company & bought back the IPR of the product for £1. (Brave because we got married, bought a house and were expecting our son in that year too).
I changed the focus of the product, sold a few and I'm still here

1 or 2 MTB rides of ~20-30 miles per week.
1 or 2 sessions on the Concept2 erg at about 2-3k.
Low carbs on non/lighter lifting days, more carbs on heavy lifting days.
Due to elbow injury & steroid injection in shoulder, I'm in the middle of a two week layoff from lifting, and it's bloody horrendous(
Oh, and does mucking out & stables duties 1st thing in the morning & the occasional horse ride count too ... ?
Mucking out the stables certainly counts.
Pushing weights doesn't though. :wink:
I walk the dogs for an hour every morning, I also play squash at least 4 times per week but as I'm turned 60 I must admit it's getting harder all the time .
Can't wait for the warmer weather as it gives me the opportunity to clean the Z ,normally takes about 5 hours at a time minimum , the beauty about being retired . Occasionally get out and about with the 3 amigos in the Z's but that's brain and coordination exercise.
