how active are you with exercising? what sorts of exercises do you do? do you go to a gym? for those of you who just sit on the computer all day.....do you at least try to do stretches from time to time?

I used to go on nightly walks up until I moved two years ago into a... let's just say less safe neighbourhood. Kind of sad, because I really do miss that. I don't really exercise a whole lot these days because of a lack of an actual safe place to do so.

Thinking about just going to the local park and jogging around there, at the very least.

I walk an average of 5-6 miles per day, and three days a week I jog about 2.5-3 miles. I stretch before and after. Last semester, I did 100 push-ups/day for about 2 months and I want to start that up again, but it makes my back sore and I'm a little lazy lol.

I did exercise for a while in high school.

Now I tell myself I'll start again, but never actually do.

I used to go to the gym pretty regularly a few years ago then I hurt my back (not related to the gym) and after I recovered it was out of my routine and I just stopped going as regularly then eventually just cancelled my membership since I wasn’t getting anything out of it. Where I live at the moment I have no excuse not to be going to a gym and I’m just plane lazy. I do like walking so I try to go on big walks regularly.

I used to exercise for hours every day but now I'm generally too sickly for that. That being said, I am planning to start doing some work to start strengthening my body again in the not-too-distant future.

Well, my dear sweet Korrina exercises a lot :D

I should let that inspire me to do the same.

I'm glad its almost spring at least though :3 Going out to walk my dog comes easily for me xD I love spending time with that animal. :3

Most of my exercise comes from working ten hours a day five days a week lmao.

I would love to be able to go out and exercise more or go to a gym but after work I'm just exhausted and just want to lay down and sleep. And I don't live close to any gyms either so doing it on days off will take quite a bit of effort to get into habit and I'm really bad at that oop. Maybe one day.

I used to exercise quite a bit when I was in high school, but then that changed when I got to college and other adult responsibilities. Lately though I've been taking walks in parks on occasion thanks Pokemon Go community days.

I've just gotten back into exercising for an hour a day. The novelty of circulation! Being able to move without giving your body ten hour's notice! It's a real joy. One of life's best.

Cycling, jumping and jogging hurt the crap out of my knees, though, and put me out of commission for at least a month. Sit-ups should be renamed back-snaps, also.

Nowadays it's running whenever the terrain is merciful, and basically walking and lugging heavy stuff back and forth. I stretch every morning and every night, and I can nearly touch the ground with my palms. My ambition is to achieve Luke Skywalker arms from The Empire Strikes Back, but failing that, I saw a wimp on the street and he looked like a good Plan B.

I used to be pretty active. I started going to the gym last January 2018 three times a week, but stopped mid-June after I got laid off from work. Then I got depressed. Thank goodness I picked it back up two months ago. I haven't gone back in a week though because of my recent trip and the subsequent infirmary visit, but I'll try to go tomorrow.

I do weight training and some cardio. Used to do stretching as well but I haven't been as consistent recently.

I've started to walk to work and I've been really enjoying it. It's motivating me to go to the gym too so I'm meeting with a personal trainer in the next couple of days hopefully. The gym just worries me because I'm a total newb and I'm scared of looking dumb doing the exercises. A personal trainer should give me all the info I need so that I feel confident and ready to get swole!

I now walk 30 minutes to and from work.

It's annoying, but it's exercise, nonetheless. But not good to do in super hot/humid weather. x.x

right.... this is a thing...

I'm healthy but I guess I can't rely on my metabolism forever... :x

I did some exercising late high school/early college... but schoolwork has gotten in the way. After undergrad, I would do it sporadically but never made it a habit. I find it so boring, even if the short investment in activity may net positive returns in every other aspect of my life.

I do a lot of walking at work, and on my days off I'm pretty active, and I also then make a point to do some walking outside.

For a time I did actually exercise at home, and I need to get back into that... it's a goal to be more toned than I currently am. hhh

I do exercise at home, and play soccer/do karate. The latter isn't running atm though (downsides of the dojo being tied to a university which books out the sports centre for exams...), so I have a bit less than I'd like atm.

Walks, too - including community day. :B

i've started doing stretches and 20x sets of pushups (against bed because on floor is still a bit difficult for me), situps, and bicycle crunches 3 times a day! not insanely long sessions but still happy to be keeping up with it 👍
