What do y'all do to keep in shape?
My current goal is finishing Round and Round Workout A. For the link-phobic, it's a circuit of lunges, pushups, squats, and chin-ups. My main roadblock right now is finishing all 20 pushups in the final round. I got through 15 just a couple of days ago. My chin-up total per workout is about 15. I do the chin-ups in short set with about 30 seconds rest between them, but other than that, the workout is continuous. I almost had it a few weeks ago, then I had trouble with my forearm muscles and had to back off temporarily. 
I do that 2-3 times a week with other assorted workouts on the non-Round and Round days: - Squat up to a 3-rep max (once a week) - High-intensity interval training on the elliptical trainer - 15 seconds sprinting, 45 seconds moderate pace (1-2 times a week) - Non-assbusting elliptical trainer cardio workout (whenever I feel like it) Those other workouts are usually followed by a few short sets of push-ups and chin-ups. Most performance increase at exercises comes from improved neural efficiency, so as long as you don't overdo it, it helps to practice the exercises often. I stop practicing when the exercises start to feel difficult, so this works well for me. I rest 1-2 days a week. When the weather gets warmer, I want to bike to work more often. It's 4 miles each way, and it takes me about 30 minutes. |

practice every day.
this season it's track and field, though I only do the track part. I run long distance. I also wrestle in the winter (and snowshoe, though this year I didn't wrestle), and run cross country in the fall. in between seasons I run with a few other guys. Sometimes I go to the gym and lift, I'm small but still pretty strong for my size (and a hell of a lot tougher than I look...) over the summer I also plan to run. And if fingers count, I play guitar ;-). I'm in shape, but not very muscular. I have a thin, very wiry build. Thats why when I plan to flirt with girls, I wear long sleeves to cover up my wimpy looking arms -- try to get them more focused on my good points -- although it hasn't helped any. so yeah, back on topic. I run. A lot. Probably a lot more than 5 miles per day. My fastest 5k times so far are 20:03 (on foot) and 32:?? (on snowshoes). I think I can beat both those times now though. the snowshoe 5k course at empires was mostly uphill (UGH) and I had to walk a lot of it. I can definitely break 20 minutes on foot though. My goal is to run 3 miles in about 16 minutes, and than beat that. I'd really like to get down to 15 and/or 14 minutes and be (or be very close to) the leading pack. Maybe my senior year... or maybe not. depends on how much I want to train... |

I ride my little BMX bike 10 miles a day. About. And most of it is up up up, up hill. |

I try to do physical labor whenever I can. Shoveling snow, home repairs and maintenance, etc. But I find, funny enough, whenever I do physical labor, I feel awesome.
My goal is to become an adrenaline junkie. |

It's winter.
All I do, therefore, is the walking required by my job. Since I almost never do any bagging because of everything else I have to do, I spend at least 3 hours each day walking/jogging/running around trying to get things done. When it warms up more, I'll be riding my bike the ~2 miles to and from work. Luckily, most of the return trip is either level or downhill. Unfortunately, the trip there is obviously going to be the opposite... |

I don't do anything, I walk when I have to go somewhere because I don't have a choice, thats about it.
I eat lots of junk food too, I feel that helps me stay in shape. ____________________ |

Yeah, that helps, setz, if the shape you have in mind is spherical.  |

Well, I'm off and on with mine. Anything between DDR/ITG and biking up Arkansas hills in a 21-speed Mongoose to and from work (1-2 miles, depending on job) is my only means as of late. |

Being spherically shaped is practical. Your clothing size never varies. It's your circumference, which you can easily calculate if you know your height.
I used to be into DDR, but I had knee problems aggravated by the jumping. By the time I fixed my knee problems, I just didn't feel like getting back into it. |

I usually have swim three times a week inn the morning, but since it's over now, I have to use my schools weight room. I don't think it's doing as much as swim did but at least I'm doing something. I'm also trying to get into this Wii workout thing. Mostly it's just Wii boxing for a half an hour. It's video games + a good workout, who could complain. ____________________ |

6-week training with monthly self-check and changes.
-5 sets of 15 curls with 25lb dumbells -5 sets of 15 vertical lifts with 25lb dumbells -2000 arm twist reps to tone my muscles -1 speed rep with 20lb dumbells for 1 solid minute. No counting. I've lost quite a few pounds in the past month or so, not really what I'm going for but I guess it works. I went from 235lbs to 210. |

I ride my bike to and from school and work whenever it is humanly possible (i.e., above freezing and no snow on the ground). I also walk outside for a while every day, sometimes for 5 miles or more. |

I walk around the city when the temperature is above freezing, and also ride a bicycle in warmer weather. |

I do nada, but I'm in a slim condition.
Next year, I will be doing basketball. Damnit, I don't care what my parentals say. |
