Physical Activity
What do you do to keep fit?
Anything that's out of the norm?

I had a blast in the bouncy castle on saturday. Then I played softball on sunday. I'm not fit [duh], my body is screaming today, but I quite liked it, and we're planning to do it often.

Anything you'd like to try? Acrobatics? Gymnastics? Etc?

I go running.
I'm now officially no longer injured so I need to get training again.

I also go cycling, I like to gay it up massively in my lycra and upset people in cars.

We are easily upset, especially when drunk

I never break sweat when I fight a bear
Bears view sweating as a form of weakness. I internalise all my excess heat and excrete it in the form of a grey foam like matter that grows out of my ears like spaghetti.

I've started working out three times a week
it was agony to start with but couple of weeks in and I'm already much stronger, which is nice.
( Kroney, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 15:01, Reply)

I go to the gym and run outside when I'm in the mood, which hasn't been for a while now.
I like swimming, but I hate swimming in the pool with other people getting in the way so I don't bother.

I would like to run further but I don't think my body wants me to and it would probably mean drinking less which is a bit meh!
( girlinthehole, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 15:03, Reply)

But think of all the new territory you could mark if you ran a bit further.

When I was at the gym a lot I would do a class called Body Blitz
which was aerobics with weights. I also did yoga and used the cross-trainer and weight machines.

Now, I'd be lucky if I only crosstrained.

Alt: I'd like to get better into yoga. It's well relaxing.

First time I did Body Blitz I was blitz. Couldn't walk up or down the stairs without severe pain and my arm seized up and I couldn't use it for a couple of days. Awesome stuff.

I'll give you three guesses what I do to keep fit
I also go running and do free weights every day. This is mainly because it gives me chance to watch telly so it doesn't feel so much like exercise. Am hoping that eventually my arms will distract from my beer-gut.
