Running, Swimming, Weight training, Cycling, walking or circuit training?

What do you do to keep fit, at the moment i am doing an insanity workout and do six hours cycling a week, the insanity is great for abs, but I love nice weather, when you can just go out running, its great for thinking.

What do you like best?

I walk 15 miles+ a day,and have done for the past 30 years. It's great exercise for mind and body. Follow it with a hot bath and you're ready for anything.

I run twice around the block every morning.....and then I put the block back under my bed. Other than that I play a lot of pocket billiards.

Shagging is excellent exercise. Gets the blood pumping, raises the heart rate and loads the brain with happy hormones that have a therapeutic effect.
Plus it keeps the missus happy for a few hours so helps to reduce stress.
Thoroughly recommend it.

No. It's not worth the hassle from the cops.

Having a few stress wanks at your desk during the day usually helps as well.

Not only will you have a popeye arm, you will also be a little less stressed and also be a few calories lighter!

Win-win all round!

Early morning running, one hundred press ups with a woman on my back , they love it, 30 mins on the heavy bag, 10 mins head butting a wooden block and 30 lengths in the pool.

I used to do a lot of bodybuilding in my 20's and I loved it, unfortunately, I knackered my rotator cuff tendon in my shoulder and I had to give the sport up.

Nowadays, I'm more into cardiovascular stuff, like cycling and even the stepper is a great workout, I also walk loads every day with the dog and in an hour or so, I'll be walking the dog in the fields it's around a 5 mile walk.

I've been doing some serious training, really pushing myself, absolutely aching each morning until I get going again, going on a beast of a run now, going listening to some classical music on the way round.

Does pain and fatigue make you want to keep going?
