Anyone here exercise?

It is amazing how fast our bodies get out of shape. I didn't exercise during Christmas week and News Year week. Things were just too hectic. I exercised yesterday and today my body is stiff as a dead dog.  Has anyone else experienced this ?

I mountain bike every weekend - rain or shine.

I also have a weight machine at the house.  Previous owners left it.

   I truely believe that exercise is good for the body and mind. I really do.....however the snarky guy in me can't help but laugh when the 3 pack a day, whiskey drinking fool lives to be 100, and the 45yr old fitness junkie dies of a heart attack in a 5k run.

     AGAIN I whole heartedly believe that exercise is good....I just choose not to do much of it. Although I have seen a mountian bike with tires almost as big as my motorcycle....looks kinda fun for a fat guy like me?????

Once we get to spring and get enough daylight, I ride 20 to 25 miles a day, 5 days a week.  It's a road bike, not a mountain or trail bike.

That is quite a ride indeed. I'm 63 and ride 10 to 14 miles 3-4 times a week and I have lost a good 10 pounds. I have a Schwinn Mountain Bike and have been told by other riders that one gets a harder workout on it than on a regular road bike.

Right now with the cooler temps I barely break a sweat but during the hot Florida summer months it's a different story.

Going to check out that TRX. Looks fun and need to work on my flexibility since I don't play "real sports" anymore. The family had a mini Turkey Bowl and "somebody" threw passes that resembled wounded ducks.

I lift weights 4 times a week and do the ellipitical 5-6 times a week during the crappy months.(Oct-Mar) Then anything outside...golf, frolf, swim, hike, kayak, bike, etc. I have to keep my body in shape for my second career as "that guy with the golden retriever" in all of those commercials.

 

Does the 12oz workout count?

I exercise 3-4 times a week - 35 minutes on the cardio strider set at intervals, 15 minutes on the epilipical machine, and sometimes squeeze in 10 minutes on the rowing machine. 

It's good to see that a bunch of us exercise. I think that exercising is the fountain of youth.  Plus if you exercise really hard you get a tremendous body buzz (runner's high) that lasts for a long time.  You have to love that!!!!

I'm a 4th degree Master Instructor in Tang Soo Do karate, been doing it for 26 years. I teach 3 two hour classes each week, and take class myself for 2 hrs. At 65 there are things I can't do like I used to, but that's what my 18 yr old assistant is for. I travel a bit to other schools in the area here to work with their older students on being OK with their limitations and still getting the most out of their training.

When it's dry outside and temperatures are in the 50s or better, I ride bike.  Once we get to spring and get enough daylight, I ride 20 to 25 miles a day, 5 days a week.  It's a road bike, not a mountain or trail bike.  In the fall, I ride with friends on a team to raise money for MS research.  We ride the City to Shore tour across New Jersey, from Cherry Hill to Ocean City and back.

When the weather gets colder, I walk, about 4 miles a day.

But back on the 30th, I sprained my right knee, so for now, I'm grounded, till it heals up.

A PS--I get a good, brisk walking pace from Sousa marches.

I do 30 minutes on the stationary bike 2-3 times a week,along with 20 minutes 2-3 a week on various weight machines.Since I retired last year I have more time so I have more time to exercise.

Just 12oz curls, and I have to say, I think I can do a lot of them. Well, I'm really not that sure, because after a workout, I'm usually passed out! 

Seriously, the wife and I are doing different beachbody programs. I'll be starting the P90X next Monday. 

I cycle a lot... had to cut back in the weights due to some joint issues as I’ve aged...
