Do you have a gym membership or exercise regularly?

I workout all the time. It makes me feel great.

I workout before work with weights, abs, push ups, etc. Plus run or walk in the park, or the treadmill depending on the time of the year.

After work I have Taekwondo and Mauy Thai kickboxing, five days a week. Two to three classes a night. It depends on the day. So I practically live there, and we joke that I should set up a cot in hte back. I've also aquired a few nicknames because I'm always there. The most recent and popular one is Beckatron.

I've also started goin to the gym on sundays and doing legs. I've actually just started this, but I want to make it a regular thing after church.

I would so love to be able to go to a gym soon to lose a little bit of weight, but because of my extremely busy and hectic working/social life I can never really find the time to be able to join up to one lately, let alone even afford it

I don't go to the gym, but I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 2-3 times a week and do bodyweight training exercises at home.

Most days I use 20-30 minutes of my lunch hour to sittups, crab pushups or balancing on my swiss ball infront of the tv. Fortunately I only live 5 minutes drive from work so it makes this possible.

I'm in the military. So, we have a 2 hr block either in the morning or right before we go home for the day to exercise. We just started running again. So, I run about 10 miles a wk. And lift weights 5 days a wk. It's a great stress release.

I don't go to a gym but I do excercise regularly, and I have PE at school

As I was discussing with Paul on another thread...

For staying healthy with Halloween approaching... I encourage everybody here to minimize candy-eating and take the chance to go Trick-or-Treating all night as good exercise.

Our school runs a club where we get taken to the gym every Thursday...and for only £5 a term! So, it's actually cheaper than a gym membership ^^ plus I walk a mile everyday and I exercise at home =] for me there's no feeling better than that of being achey from exercise

as for working out, I dont go to a gym but I do work out at home, with the tv on the Fitness channel, so I work out with three differnt shows

Fun stuff! I'm so happy. I finally have a gym membership and it's only about a fifteen minute walk away from my house. I've been working out regularly and working on cardio. I'm not very good. >>;;

Also an interesting fact my friend told me... Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, on average, Americans gain about nine pounds.

Keep that bad weight off and exercise! Watch what you eat for the next few weeks!!!

I would love to have a gym membership, but here in Japan gyms are not open as many hours as they are in the west. My local gym opens at 10 am and closes at 8 pm. I'm too busy on weekends to go, so there is no point in getting a membership.

Instead, I enjoy long bicycle rides in the countryside or in metro Tokyo. In the countryside I can ride to the beach or to the mountains, in Tokyo, I go pretty much anywhere.

From my girlfriend's apartment in Shinkawa, it takes about 30 minutes to ride to Shibuya. I go to the Imperial Palace, follow around toward Akasaka where the government buildings are, there is a road which runs through Roppongi and then on to Shibuya. The traffic is heavy, and there are lots of hills, so I get a good workout. At most times I can get through town on my bicycle more quickly than people can get around in their cars.

Lately the weather has become too cold to ride my bike, so I've begun hiking in the nearby mountains. I go for a 2 hour hike 3 or 4 times each week. There are lakes, streams, temples, shrines, cemeteries, etc., very many things to see. I do a lot of climbing, so the hikes are a very good workout.
