Exercise

Do you exercise 3 times a week for an hour? An hour of really getting that heart rate up there.
The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

ermmmm.....no. I prop the bar up a lot though
When you participate in sporting events, its not whether you win or loose, its how drunk you get.

Thats hard work...I jog for an hour 3 times a week...I used to 5 times aweek but too busy with school and work and getting my rig together. Im jumping tomorrow morning for the first time since December........with a coach to get me acclimated to the freefall enviorment again.........Exercise helps with my jumping I think.....and the regular stress of life...

working mostly from home has its advantages. lately, i've been able to exercise every morning, between emails and phone calls, for about 2 to 3 hours. once the travel schedule starts kicking in, tho, i see the flab coming back...

Morning stretches every day I jump and when I remember.
1 hour of aerobic kick boxing Monday and Wednesday evenings. I try to get in an hour of bicycling on Thursday or Friday (2 hours this Thursday).
Since it is raining today, I will settle for doing push-ups, sit-ups, stretching, etc in the loft.
Stretching helps this 44 year old guy skydive like someone much younger. I can still do more tandems per day than most of the local guys half my age.
Aerobic exercise helps blow off day to day stress.

just started a program at the gym. i was taking karate classes a couple or three times a week, but it wasn't enough cardio, so i switched. 3 hours of cardio with an hour of weights on alternate days, fridays off. just started though, so i still look like a 6 ' 200 lb marshmallow! not really, but i can use the exercise for sure. being a unix admin doesn't work up much of a sweat.

I am getting back in the pool after two years out. I used to be able to swim the 50 yard Freestyle in like 25-24 secs now i can barely get in under 30 also i used to do the 100 yard butterfly with no problem, now i can only make it to the 50 yard mark. Pretty sad.

I run three times a week ranging from 3-5 miles each time. Try to keep about a 7 minute pace. Also, lift weights and do some muscular endurance exercises three times a week. Try not to stay in the gym more than an hour each time. I feel alot better when I run and work out regularly.

I hit the gym on an average of 3 to 4 times a week. Not that weird cardio stuff, usually. You can find me under heavy piles of weight, lifting and pushing, etc. Bow down to live

Why does Aggiedave's post remind me of different definitions of meditation?
Female meditation: lotus position beside a quiet lake. Eyes closed, deep breathing exercise. "ommmmm"
Male meditation: laying on a bench, breathing heavily, face all contorted, struggling to lift a large piece of scrap iron.

Hey Tiff, did you get out there and jump??? TequilaGirl Said she saw you but couldn't remember if you managed to get on a load or not.

I don't "exercise" as in going to a gym regularly, but I bike to work, which seems to serve the same purpose. Seems a little pointless to drive to and from work (4 miles) then to and from a gym (another 4 miles) just to get on a stationary bike and waste all that energy.

Regular exercise just helps me keep up with those younger guys. Some of them take a pretty good pounding and just keep going. Now I seem to "feel" some of the bad jumps more.

I was running about 6 miles a week and doing kick boxing on off days from beginning of summer to the beginning of winter. I think I get the mid winter blues. I wish I could bike or run to work/school, but that would be 20 miles each way. I do A LOT of walking at school, but that doesn't count. I am starting some sort of dance aerobics class with my friend for the summer--that should be a lot of fun. Now that spring is here, I can run again too. I love the way a long run makes me feel. It clears my head--de-stresses me,and it is wierd how you can go on much further than you thought you could.
The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP.

2 hours a day, 5 days a week. Combination of cardio, anaerobic, isometric, and stretching. All that goes to waste over the weekend. favaks

I stretch a little before I jump. Then I do some vigorous cardio just before exit. Follow that with vigorous set of pull ups on my risers. End the day with numerous twelve ounce curls. One day I might try and add in some horizontal fishing to the routine late at night. "It's all about the BOOBIES!"

[Muenkel 0]

Work out in the gym every other day for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Each time is a specific muscle group or groupings. I definitely do not do enough cardio though.
Skydivers...they're just plain cool!

two points -- first, it is not a beer belly, it is a beer-powered fall rate enhancer; and second, I doubt you can beat mine -- too many years have gone into this enhancer to be second place!

[spinmaster 0]

I do sit-ups every morning...at least one anyway.
I take long walks several times a week...usually through airports
And I do curls several nights a week....usually the twelve oz. kind.
Does that count as exercise?
