Does anyone here exercise regularly?

[Amaris]

I've recently decided that I'm going to improve upon my exercise regimen. While it does okay, I'm more concerned for my health lately. A close friend of the family passed away yesterday. He was 32 years old. I'm 30. What affected me was the fact that like me, he was born 3 months early. Like me, he had high blood pressure and diabetes by the time he was 25. Like me, he had a weight problem. We were within 5 or 6 oz. of each other's weight. So I started looking around at what medical science had to say about preemies, and the prognosis isn't a happy one. I'm more than just a little scared, to be honest.

On a positive note, I learned to read well before most children do. I was walking after a year, so there were no real developmental delays, but still, the health issues cause me concern. I'm hoping a more strict regimen with an ever more streamlined diet will help stave off such things.

My legs are really in shape due to running.

Pics or you're lying.

Exactly

I charge for that. Do you both have Paypal accounts?

Well how about an exchange? I'll put mine up at the beach...lol

Is that a muscle on the right side of your leg? And the left side? Damn!

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ That's RAMA. Of course they're muscles.

I do. Or I can trade you my butt for some legs.

You're skinny!

I didn't know RAMA was muscular. I liked Hubby cause he's got some meat on his bones, but he's not muscular like that. S'okay, though.

I run. Outside when the weather is good, otherwise the gym. Alternated with weights. Even if you don't have a regime, I can't fathom those that will get in their car to drive somewhere which takes ten minutes to walk - *why* ? And of course, you can keep yourself fairly active just by not sloth-ing out on the couch day-in-day-out. It is quite alarming that some Brits are catching up with Americans in the obesity stakes ...

I walk a lot so long as my asthma or arthritis isn't too bad.

However during winter I can't walk much because of all the woodsmoke in the air aggravates my asthma. In winter I walk by doing Freestep in Wii Fit Plus. I also have a few other sports games for my Wii.

Yeah, I was always one of those gangly scarecrow types.

RAMA is quite a bodybuilder; he's built like the incredible Hulk. There are probably more pictures of him around somewhere....

Hilarious! Yes both sides.

I usually exercise a lot ... I did a lot of weight training over the years, and I was a fairly serious runner until a couple of years ago (I did a half marathon in 2009), but then I got arthritis in my hip and and had to quit. But I switched to hiking and walking after that.

Right now I'm recovering from surgery and I'm going absolutely BUGSHIT CRAZY from not being able to exercise. I can't wait until I'm healed up enough to start taking long walks again and get back into the gym!

*looks at your avatar*

*looks at your leg pic*

It's just a crazy guess.

'Sides, I remember your photos in the picture threads a few years back (before I took my long hiatus from the bbs). I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Do you compete?

Yes well we are glad to see you back!!

No I havent competed in anything significant, just a few gym contests in the past.

RAMA, is that Ocean City in your avatar?

 

[Colonel Green]

I ride my bike about 12k each day, power-walk 45mins at lunch on weekdays, and jog 60-90 mins with the dog 3-4 days a week. I've been trying to weight train 3 days a week but I find it hard to get motivated at home, so I just started a gym membership. It's right on my bike route home, so hopefully I'll stick to it.

Thanks, I'm glad to be back.

Are you ever planning on competing or are you content to look like you do?

 

[Wynterhawk]

I backpack and rock climb

 

[stoneroses]

I run a bit do some weight stuff then run between 6 and 10km 3 times a week in the Gym. I only started going three months ago. I thought it would be awful, but I find it's not too bad and I feel better for it.
