I can get really hyper (especially after ingesting starchy/sugary foods) so if I'm in a weird hyper mood i'll just move around a lot to burn off the energy. Or else things get weird.
But otherwise, I don't really work out work out a lot.. I have sports as hobbies and I have a Golden Retriever who has to be walked daily (sometimes twice daily, he's hyper like me) and most days i end up chasing him around my local park after he's houdinied his way out of his collar. But I'll gym it once a week, do some weights.
Altogether its dog daily, sports twice a week and weights once a week. And random bursts of insane dancing in my bedroom.

I do not. I lost like 20 pounds a year and a half ago and kept them off until I started preparing for med school. I became stressed and put 25 pounds back on. And now I regret it. But I really don't have time to work out now or lose weight with all this prepping and also going into last year of high school. Losing weight again will make me concentrate less from new eating habits and I don't want that, especially with hs exams and admission exam, so I'll just leave working out and changing my eating habits for when I am done with it all.:)

I get a solid four hours per week, and I'm pretty happy with that given the present demands on my time.

I'll usually get a good ten mile bike ride in once a week that takes about an hour, and then I'll get a solid two hour walk in at the beach on the sand on another day, and then I'll usually do a 1-1.5 hour hike that's nearby me.

Sometimes I'll walk more at the beach and bike less, and other times I'll do the opposite, but it usually comes out to about four hours. It's really important to me because I'm getting super healthy again, and I'm either gonna maintain that or I'm gonna die trying. LOL

Up. All the time.

BertMacklinFBI · Answer

working out is half of my life hahaa, if not more.

ZenQueen · Answer

yes cycling, running, hiking, gardening, whenever I please... also yoga, I usually do at least 15 minutes of one of these a day.. And randomly become a "weekend warrior" and go cycling from sun up to sun down, going around 70 miles through the mountains:) I want to become really good a swimming and surfing:)

aumshivashanti · Answer

I have a 25 pound baby that I have to chase around. Evey day consists of doing many squats, bending over, lifting 25lbs of Weight above my head at least 100 times, and not to forget the quick sprints. On top of that. I like to wear him and go for long hikes at least 4 times a week. I do a lot of working out!

InquisitiveMale · Answer

I have a husky and my house does not get destroyed. Regular activity is implied. 17km a day, 7days a week, come hell or high water; rather, hell and a snow storm.

I go through shoes like you wouldn't believe.

But as far as weights go... I've haven't stepped foot in the gym in quite some time.

aamy811 · Answer

I workout every day. Honestly I have a super bad self image, so whenever I workouts it's because I'm trying to change myself. Honestly I don't really workout to be healthy (I mainly diet to be healthy), but I excersize so that one day I'll be really slim. That will never happen but, we all have goals

sammy_31 · Answer

I workout way more than 6 hours per week. My activities/workouts consist from light exercises like walking & jogging to weight lifting, pilates and soccer. I give myself Sunday and sometimes Monday to rest, most of the time and sometimes it might be one day in the week to rest.

ButterflyXkisses · Answer

I exercise at home almost every night and try to implement random squats into my day, but other than that not really. I have a gym membership but my gym buddy works overnight now so he goes while I'm at work and I have no license so I just don't go because he's asleep when I get off work. Sigh.

xHoneyxBeex · Answer

No, I don't. I never have time. I'm always either at school or at work, when I do have free time I'm doing homework, on GAG, or reading. So, no, I don't get much exercise. Although it could be considered exercise walking around campus every day from class to class. Lol I walk a lot when I'm at school. But, I used to work out a lot when I was in high school and participated in sports.

jeanbean · Answer

It's part of my job to stay in shape, so yes, I work out quite regularly. If I fail a PT test I have to talk to people with a fuck-ton of stripes on their arms and then people with silver eagles pinned to their hats. That's very bad juju in the military.

Jadekitten · Answer

I run track & field an hour a day five days a week, do weights/hurdle practice after track for an hour twice a week, ride horses an hour a day for four-six days a week, and do home exercises for about half an hour about four days a week. So about 13 hours of exercise a week minimum, sometimes more or less depending on the week.

Ivy_Nicole · Answer

I love to work out, but I am now studying abroad and the gym is kind of expensive and it is too cold to find a tennis court in the next 4 months. So I can only do the occasional aerobics class provided by my university here. Normally I squash 2 times a week, I do one aerobics class and I swim two times a week. Furthermore I take the bike everywhere except when I go a weekend to my parents house.

justbanANNAz · Answer

i do but I'm quite inconsistent at times.

so i could work out everyday for a week, then 3-4 times the next week. my main issues are time and commitment.
i need to work on making it a lifestyle rather than just a change, but its proving to be very hard.

bettybets · Answer

I work out regularly now. I'm really committed to getting in shape this year. I feel great after a particularly sweaty work out where I really get my heart rate up. And it's an amazing stress reliever. I'd also like to lose 5 lbs. to get into a better BMI range.

I also walk to all my classes on campus because taking the bus isn't necessary.

J-junk · Answer

I weight train six days a week. At least two hours each session.
Ever since I was 12 yrs. old I've wanted to be a strong person. I never let that idea fade. Athletics has always been important to me. I'm not competitive I just love to feel intensely alive.

cheeseysouffle · Answer

Normally I have a work out plan, but this semester a lot of my classes involve labs that require a lot of physical activity and a lot of endurance. The classes are actually more intense than my workout regimen so... it's helping me get into better shape.

Snow-Wolf18 · Answer

When I was on break from school, I'd run for about 35 - 45 minutes four times a week. I'm back in school for the fall semester but I'm always walking all over campus to get to my classes. I don't work out as much but I'm still active - it's just not time devoted solely to exercise. I'll try to step up my exercise routine if there's time.

Rease · Answer

I work out 5-6 hours a week, which usually spreads out over 6 days so I can have one rest day. Usually I am pretty consistent with the times I go to the gym or work out at home. When I travel I usually still do shorter workouts in my hotel room but not as much as when I am home. I do it to stay fit and healthy and also because it helps relieve stress.

Anonymous · Answer

I go through phases...
I'll exercise every day for weeks or even months, then fall off and not do it for several weeks or months.
I haven't been feeling well lately, so I haven't in a while.
I'd love to take on the punching bag though.

Anonymous · Answer

I do about 20 minutes of yoga a day. Sometimes I add in some calisthenics or weight lifting, but usually not for much more than 15 minutes, and only maybe two or three times a week.

I try to walk instead of drive places when I have the time, but I'm in college and really busy.

turkishdelight · Answer

Yes, i do workout everyday. I prefer to go jogging early in the morning and gym at night. I played Rugby League and soccer for 8-9 years but, now that i have uni i don't really have much time for it. However, i can't go a day without working out. It just makes me feel so fresh, energetic and most importantly happy about myself.

angelmarkley · Answer

I play volleyball and i have practice and games 4 days a week and sometime tournaments on the weekends so i'm always active right now. When volleyball season is over i'm going to be a sloth, i guarentee

Jonny_ · Answer

I used to exercise every day of the week for several hours each say, these days though? my eating hours have replaced my exercise, which is a bit upsetting

Sovereign1979 · Answer

I could use some strength training, but I am pretty lean as it is as I am 5'8" and weigh 143 lbs.
I do want bulk a little more. But I do have a fairly active job remodeling houses, so that is a lot of exercise.

missmin6767 · Answer

matrix124 · Answer

I am currently working with a personal trainer 3 days & week, & doing cardio on my own 3 days a week. I lost 10 Ibs last month & 4 Ibs the last 2 weeks. I'm loving the results & am not going to stop until I reach my goal.

Bob5555 · Answer

Hell no. I did that crap all through my 20s and I'm tired. I'm not fat or anything and move around just fine so until that starts to change I've got a new goal in life to be as lazy as I can without ending up a hobo

itsme_goodsamaritan · Answer

I do a lot of walking, not sure if it counts as a workout.

The article does make a good point - women don't get made fun of as much as guys for being fat. It's actually bad for us, since that'll make it easy for us to continue with being obese!

denisenic01e · Answer

I work out for about 2hrs a day, 4-5x/week.. my body craves it, I feel sluggish & groggy if I don't work out for a few days straight! I love it & love the results!!

virginguru · Answer

I do 4 or more hours a week which consist of weights and cardio, then on Fridays I play fast paced ping pong and do arm curls with a beer bottle; best way to work out the core.

LilPinkGirl · Answer

I don't work out. I use to but lately I've been always tired due to medications so I haven't been active. I never work out, but would like to start doing it regularly again.

Illusive_Man · Answer

4-6 hours a week previously , but just started on Mike Mentzer's High Intensity Training programme.  I can feel my body breaking down from the intensity lol

sean1234 · Answer

I use to work out more than 6 hours per week, but I'm lazy now. I try to do something, but before I know it, it's already night time. It seems like it's always to late to workout every day, assuming I even feel like it.

Anonymous · Answer

I workout quite a bit, actually. I go to the gym once a day, and I drink a lot of fruit juices from bolthouse farms everyday:

soccerchick4eva · Answer

Negrodamus · Answer

No i don't work out. I've already hit a plateau where a chiseled bod and jaw line are concerned. It's difficult to achieve a status higher than perfect, so i settle

sam10 · Answer

I work out varied routines every day, running, stepper, weights, swimming and dance as well as martial arts. I'd say I normally put in about 2 hours daily, keeps me fit, trim and sexy, lol.

vmw2008 · Answer

I work out 3-5 days a week. It's helped a lot with keeping my metabolism up and with general tone. I can now carry more weight on the scale without looking like it due to muscle tone.

Hans222 · Answer

I voted D... there's usually 1 long fitness training of about 2 hours and 2 to 3 times a combination of 30 to 40 min hope trainer followed by a series of exercises. Total at least 4 h, rather 5.

SimiSyndicate · Answer

I never "work out" per se, but my university's so full of stairs (and it doesn't help it being quite a large-area campus). I swear, I can probably be a professional athlete by the time I graduate.

WCM78 · Answer

1 to 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, consisting of cardio, weight training, & muscle endurance routines. add a couple more hours on the weekend when I'm playing football or basketball with my friends.

p0rtis26 · Answer

I easily exceed the 6 hours of exercise a week. Yesterday I exercised 4 hours alone. Tennis and Basketball and then hit the gym about 3-4 times a week, not a muscle head but enough to stay in tip top shape.

Shyguy_1988 · Answer

Between cardio and weighting I work out more than 6 hours a week. Work out 5 days a week normally up to 1 1/2 hours each workout, sometimes more someetimes less. Health and fitness is important to me.

Anonymous · Answer

When I work, I work out. I work hard, and I don't let up until the job is done.

Just got done with a 14 mile hike. 5 grueling hours in, about 6 back out, at night, up a rocky wash, through brambles, got all cut up but so worth it.

findingdreamland · Answer

I work out 3 times a week. If I arrange time, I work out more. But actually I feel quite satisfied with this schedule.

ÉlanVital · Answer

I do work out to try to stay in shape. Who doesn't like to see a fit body on the street ;) hahah but anyway. Sometimes I go through these phases where I lose track of my workouts them stop all together cuz those gaps get longer and longer until your super lazy to workout again.

I try not to let that happen so often though. Right now I think I'm looking good.

darkfoxjj · Answer

"Work out' is a wrong term and can mean very different things. It is better to use the term 'physically active'.

People who take the stairs and bicycle are also working out, but because it is a mode of transport will not be included in the 'work out style definition.

pionneer · Answer

When you say working out I presume you mean going to the gym which I would never do. I can't stand gyms with all there fanatics.

I will occasionally go for a run/jog. But I cycle to work and walk most places and have a job that keeps me moving around a lot. I eat moderately and avoid fizzy drinks and most dairy products except milk. Im lucky I have no weight issues and dot have a problem with the slim body I've always had.

heavenonearth · Answer

Yeah, four days a week right now. Total is probably about 6 hours/week. I run 3-4 miles and then hit the weights. Sometimes I throw in HIIT sessions. The weights I've only done for a couple months, so kinda new at it, but I like it. I stretch a lot too, to keep my flexibility up. Other than that, I bike or walk around town and campus to get where I need to be locally, so guess that counts.

SabyToes · Answer

I hate that i don't work out more often, but the problem is i feel self conscious to work out - even in my own home because im not fat - i want to stay fit tho - and if i start exercising my moms gunna be a butt and ask why im working out which makes me feel super uncomfortable and makes me think i shouldn't care about my heath buti do D: all i want is to be toned and i can't do that - too hard

BlueMarvin · Answer

There goes GirlsAskGuys making fun of my condishuns I can't exercise I need to keep my sugars up and if I exercise my body will go into starvation mode. No but seriously I exercise on the treadmill for 30 minutes and do some various other exercises (squats, push ups, weight lifting, and the like) and then the next day I do some yoga and will go for a good bike ride.
