Also mention how much do you lift if you do.

I usually lift 3 days a week. All core and upper body at the moment. I'm trying to lose some bulk on my legs (2 years), almost there.

I run a 7.3 mile route with 1,000 feet of elevation gain 3 times a week on a combination of asphalt and forest trails. The running and hills keep my legs and glutes in shape.

I'll vary that with time in my pool. On my mountain bike. Or sessions with my water rower to mix it up and keep it from getting boring. The water rower is a great workout if you're only gonna have one piece of equipment.

Not gonna go into all the individual weights for 23 exercises I do. But I'm not a body builder. And I've been where I want to be for a long time. I'm focused on maintaining muscle mass and strength so I can enjoy all the stuff I like to do and control my weight / physique so my clothes fit, LOL. I have no interest in looking like a gym rat. I don't want bulk that doesn't serve any purpose.

Oh, and no competitive sports these days. I ran cross country, indoor, and outdoor track in high school and college. Also played rugby in college. Spent 15 years in the US Army as an elite soldier. Fitness has always been part of my lifestyle.

@Arcadian222 Yoga - HARD YOGA- and it is a ball buster some days, THREE days or FOUR a week. - took up lifting again, only now only doing moderate weights doing flys, and presses with dumbbells - no bar bell lifting. Using a LARGE exercise ball as a "bench" (sitting- picking up dumbbells and rolling to my back) Going to max of 60 pounds - 30 each hand for flys.

Some fast walk jog, stairs running periodically trying to avoid aggravating a low back problem.

Ran competitively for about 6 years - and trophyed a few time at 10,000 meters

Trying to remain fit... holding at 145 lbs

I used to be into competitive sports at school. The important thing about a good fitness regime is to remember to stick with LEAN foods (nothing processed, friend or fatty) and lots of rest and hydration. Reduce negative stress and increase motivational "stress" (which is healthy).

Swimming, cycling and running for the most part. I do that to train for triathlons each year.

I do some weights but lighter with higher reps for toning.

[Arcadian222]

How much weights?

[Abbycado]

Usually 10lbs for arms. I do a lot more for legs, but that helps me for the other things I do to train.

[Arcadian222]

How much for legs? And what other things if not triathlons?

[Abbycado]

I do over 100lbs depending on the exercise with legs.

I don't do anything but triathlons. Only one a year. But I enjoy swimming, cycling and to a lesser extent running in general.

Usually walking and running, sometimes cycling and swimming. I used to go to the gym very often. I also like playing dodgeball, basketball and handball.

[Nikki1989]

I walk to work and swim as often as I can. That is more than enough.

[Circushowcowboy]

Mixture of walking, swimming and lifting. I used to play soccer but not so much anymore.

[Abbycado]

How many laps of a teaspoon?

[Circushowcowboy]

@Abbycado 😂 shush

[Abbycado]

Do you swim straight over the deep part or is that frightening?

[Circushowcowboy]

@Abbycado it’s all the deep part to me lols

[Abbycado]
