3. Lift weights

Work
Type
No cardio for me, its hard enough to put on weight.

4. I lift weights.

4 days a week. I've been doing it long enough now that it is part of my life. If I skip a workout I am completely guilt ridden.

5. run and lift...

or walk on a swing machine while lifting 25 lbs.

Its all uselss with my diet and lifestyle, but it makes me feel good.

7. Bike, hike, volleyball. To do list: running

I want to start running again on a semi-regular basis, but I find doing it difficult and boring so it is hard to get started. But I used to like running road races and would like to do that again. Alas, much of the fun for me was getting a good time, and to do that these days, I'm going to need to put in some major training.

Meanwhile I bike and hike periodically, and play on a volleyball team in both the winter and the summer (alas, not in the fall). The way I play volleyball, it definitely counts as exercise. :D

8. Cycling

about 100-125 miles a week. Did three centuries this season. Also lift weights. When I need a change, I'll roller blade. Hiking is good, too.

However, since I live in the Chicago area, I'm going to have to find something to tide me over once the snow and cold hits.

13. cross-country skiing?

Probably not so practical an idea in Chicago, now that I think of it. Not quite enough snow, most of the time, as I remember. And perhaps a shortage of convenient locations. :shrug:

But when I lived in Southern California, I tried to get into cross-country skiing (in the mountains, of course) and loved it, what little I was able to do. I wish I had been able to continue and actually get somewhat skilled at it, but my life travels soon took me to Hawaii and later to Texas, where cross-country skiing is an extremely exotic pursuit. ;-)

9. I run, including charity marathons, I rock climb

and I have scaled glacier-covered mountains. Because it was there. I do some weightlifting every week, but in general I find it a little dull as activity.

[pmbryant]

14. Mount Rainier, by chance?

Tres cool, that scaling glacier-covered mountains thing.

I'd like to do that someday. I backpacked up to the climbing base camp on the south side of Rainier back in 1988. But I had to stop there, as I had no technical experience, equipment, or skills. Spectacular place, nonetheless!

:D

15. Yeppers, Rainier.

It's a stunningly beautiful mountain.

[kyrasdad]

10. I walk...

to the kitchen to dump the ashtray in the trash

to the car to go to Dunkin DOnuts to get my Iced Coffee

the dog

to the porch to get my mail

[Castilleja]

11. I lift, want to add yoga

Weight-lifting has made me less flexible than I had been. My body tells me that yoga or something close to it, is a good thing for me to add. I don't like cardio, but would walk more if my house was not the only one with lots of trees, etc. to look at, and if I could arrange for a cloud to follow me around!

[DieboldMustDie]

12. Half an hour on a NordicTrack ski machine...

on days I'm not going dancing.
