Exercise : how often?

[HITMAN]

How often do you exercise?

What sports?

Are you trying to lose weight or to maintain a healthy lifestyle?

[NicoBambi]

once a week with school and soon twice a week
for healthy lifestyle =)

[Tiny Heart]

We shall have 4th option that says Other or Never..
I dont fit in any of the categories above...

Anyhow... the only sport I may go for is swimming, I love swimming, I can do all day long without getting bored...

[HITMAN]

Tiny Heart, there are 4 options

[Libellula]

Right now I don't exercise intentionally. I can say that I walk at a relatively brisk pace every day for at least an hour, but that's because I have to walk, not because I'm doing it to stay fit.

During the summer I swim a couple of times a week, and I walk for about two hours every other day, plus I sometimes get dragged to the gym once or twice a month, but that's it.

[Senorita]

I used to exercise from time to time, which was quite rarely.
Starting from tomorrow am going to jog everyday, 1 to 2 hours to lose some weight and I'll keep on doing that even afterwards.

[Monkiette]

i usually excercise 1-2 times a week, i seem to have slacked off in ramadhan though.. i'm very health aware.. i exercise constantly and eat very healthily.. i lost 10 kgs so far:D

[Black Lolly]

i rarely excerise.
but im still fit.

[Nella]

i swim every other day in summer back home..but now i walk for about an hour almost everyday and some aerobics..i dance too which is considered as a sport in some cultures :rolleyes:

[Metal_Maniac]

I work out about 3-4 times a week for about 2 months and then stop for a month. My body responds quite fast and I hate it when I start walking around like I've got two pepsi cans under my armpits. Hence the break for a month when I start to get out of shape.

Swimming once a while.

All this for losing weight and staying healthy :)

[Lym]

I only walk back and forth in campus/city but I don't exercise intentionally.

[HITMAN]

I play squash

Unforunately that isn't enough

Hmm I don't walk slowly, I walk quickly, and sometimes it's uphill! I think that that makes a difference.

[GirL NexT DooR]

I used to go the the gym almost everyday before Ramadhan, but I'm too lazy to even move a finger lol.

[*FaLLiNG STaR*]

I rarely exercise. The problem is that I don't have time. During the summer I exercised a lot & I went to the gym, but now I rarely do anything. If I exercise it will be just half an hour on the treadmill!

[eL3yo0oN]

i started going to the gym last week, i enjoy it so i think i'll stick to it :) i hope so! lol

[Hawk]

The gym hall is under my room so I go there whenever I'm free lol.

Everyday I guess.

[5alfanooh]

When the Soccer League was on, I used to go to the gym three dayz a week for running ONLY! and now I rarely go and the gym keep sucking the money out of my Account :cry: and when im back home in december.. im planning to join a gym and lift some weights :color: m3a'9al lah

[-Alysa-]

[ToomuchaT]

Unless you sense being slightly breathless after the effort you mentioned, it should be under the category of light exercise

Are you trying to lose weight or to maintain a healthy lifestyle?

1-2 times a week - tae kwon do
2-3 times a week - 1-2 hours at the gym, usually 60-90 min cardio (elliptical trainer, arc-trainer, and stationary bike) and 30 minutes of weight training and stretching

Both - I want to lose another 15 pounds (I've lost 15 this year) to get into a healthy weight range, and also be strong and fit, build bone density and protect my joints from arthritis. ha ha can you tell I turned 40 this year? :bored:
