elliptical machine, whatever the "hills" equivelent thing is, I do level 15 out of 25..my HR planes out at around 160 and tops out (at the highest "Hill") at 180

EDIT: I've been mixing it up though, 15 mins at "cardio" level on the ellip to get my HR up, then 25 mins on the rowing machine then 5 min jog to wind down

I also do kinda the same thing but replace the rowing machine with a 20 min heavy bag workout.

20 minutes of lifting, twice a day, 7 days a week. (Just started in August)

Run 2 mile loop every monday morning eventually I will upgrade to 4 miles and then 6 miles. (Just started in August)

Around two hours of basketball at least once a week.

Around an hour of tennis at least once a week.

4 hours of golf at least once a week.

I've been running 3-4 days a week and lifting 2-3 times a week.  It all adds up to about 8 or 10 hours a week.  I cut back on the weights as I was running longer distances to get ready for a 10k.  My goal is to  keep running a mile or two at a faster pace when I go to lift now.  I know I'll stop runnin outside once it starts snowing.

I also walk about half a mile each morning to the bus stop to head to work.  Thats helped with my cardio compared to two years ago.

As for me? No,I don't exercise.

BTW much thanks and a TP to you (your first  ) for this topic because it did motivate me to leave work, go to the gym, workout, and now I am back at work.  Awesome!

Lift 3-4 times per week and run differently based on what I'm doing it for.  Was doing 5 or 6 miles a few times a week but now I'm training for a marathon so i'm just doing real long distances less often so I can recover for the next one.  Did a 17 miler a couple days ago.  Also, just for the challenge I did a 102 mile bike ride 2 weeks ago.  The most I had done this year was 13 miles, and the most I had ever done was 50.

having children and a family really impacts how much u can work out.  for me, i do kung fu training, run when i can, play ball when i can, and lift when i can.  i would say i get about 5 hrs total a week, but it varies day to day depending on my priorities and responsibilities as a father and husband.

[Hoops]

Not as much as I used to or would like to. About 3-4 hours/week. A mix of hoops, ultimate frisbee, soccer and a simple core routine.

This is spot on true. Exactly my situation. Family time really cuts into your ability to exercise...but family is worth it!!!

its amazing how much exercise I get at work; had the summer off, came back, already 15 pounds down just from walking around and eating less....

otherwise, I play ball 2 nights a week - 1 hour each time; try to play soccer once a week for about an hour and in the last week or so I've been doing 30+ cardio nightly to train for a 5k (1 week away)

I tend to only like exercise when it's competitive though - my running of late is so uninspired - when I play basketball I get a great workout because I'm all over the court

Awesome thread... great to see all the responses.

I workout 6 days per week.  Usually 45-60 min of lifting followed by an average of 60 min of cardio (running, elliptical, etc.).

It's funny, the one day I take off is probably the worst I feel all week!  I guess that's a sign that my body considers my exercise routine a drug!

[jambr380]

I run a couple of times a week and do weights a couple of times a week and never really work out for more than an hour. I try to play bball when I can, but not often enough.

I consider myself to pretty in shape (at least I look in shape), but wow, a lot of you people on here blow me out of the water. Like, I think you all work out more than anybody else in the world. Good for you, I guess...

[cdif911]

can I reiterate how much I hate running for running's sake - any ideas on making it more fun?  Shadowboxing invisible zombies?
