What sort of stuff do you try to do in your free time to stay fit and in shape? Anything from just walking, kicking the footy at the park to running marathons.

These days don't play any organised sports anymore but I like swimming, running and some basic weights exercises. Wouldn't mind getting back into tennis after a loooong tie.

i jerk it really really hard multiple times a day

then i use the sweat from jerking it as a lubricant to jerk it again

I've never liked organised sport. My career in that area is limited to Primary school (rounders + netball), and maybe the odd Inter-school netball game in HS.

Gym, swim, walk, hit of tennis. Also have done taekwondo and dance classes (hip hop).

Played Futsal for 20 years until a few years ago, Pilates, Yoga, walking and trekking holidays is it for me now.

Tennis I wouldn't mind for the social aspect as well.

It tends to find a natural pace, too. Even if you are the fitter/more skillful player you want to get a few rallies going.

It's too hot for that s**t out here, I'd be only playing doubles social day or night.

Boxing circuit, do some sparring but not lately, I get hit too much ha ha. It's funny we get some very fit people pop in (Crossfitters and the like) and they struggle to get through it, everyone does initially. I'm still a bit tubby but can always get through it, not sure if it's mental, muscle memory, maybe both.

i wish i could have 3 months, 6 months or even a year off, paid, so i could spend my days walking, running, going to beach and pool and the private gym i have onsite and get fit as possible

i just find it hard to find time, other than maybe 30 mins in morning when i walk at beach after dropping kids at school.

I can't believe nobody does crossfit around here.

 

[raskolnikov]

Did somebody say CrossFit?

The thing is you’d know for sure because you can’t do CrossFit and not let everyone know

Have you arranged your life in order to get as much incidental exercise as possible?

Yep. Always park at far end of carparks to walk more. Always take stairs if available. That sort of thing. Any others you can advise?

I lost about five kilos just from not having my laptop in the lounge room. That's one change where no daily willpower is necessary.

Yeh i have a home office and all my computer equipment is in there.

 

[revival_mode]

I do crossfit

 

[craigos]

"Bushwalking" is probably my favourite non-organised thing to do. Even in inner Melbourne there's quite a few places that don't feel like you're in a big city.

Running around after intelligent mice seems like it would burn some calories.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I tend to go on long walks. Like last weekend I walked from Dandenong Station to Moorabbin Station.

At the moment I'm on the treadmill daily and lifting weights 3 times a week.
Haven't noticed any change just yet.

Unless you are training for the next Olympics 30-60 minutes a day is easily enough time to get reasonably fit.

yeh but i'd like to have days of leisure. so as well as an hour or so of intense stuff, just spending the day walking and cruising around at the beach or bushwalking tracks i have nearby also, having it as a full time job almost, is what i want

Does seem a tad wanky mate.

Then again anything so harmless that manages to trigger so many people can't be all bad
