Our health is the most precious thing we have. What do we do to keep it or even improve it?
So tell me how good are you if it comes to be fit?
What's for me I haven't dome anything yet, last time I contributed to my wellness was 1000m swim on Thursday.
What about you?
I just got back from a bicycle ride.
Great! How long was the ride?Quote:

This is a very interesting thread and of course this must be integral to the rest of other discussions. Life or health is very important in life and without taking care of health we cannot sustain life.
I take care of health all the time and do strenuous exercises in the morning
I believe you Pierre that it was exhausting, I wouldn't be able to do it for entire hour, although it keeps your mind fit :-)Quote:

I wind my watch (none of these namby-pamby battery operated things), then basically spend the rest of the day jumping to conclusions. Finally, diet. I eat like a sparrow - roughly three times my own body-weight every day. I am in the peak of condition for a man of 71 - which is a bit of a worry since I'm only 28.
I went to the gym.....came back.....ordered a pizza :p :D
Since this morning? A walk in the woods for an hour or so...

I took a nap this afternoon :D
Like Claes, I spent about an hour and a half having a rather nice walk in the woods.
I have been taking part in couch aerobics since last night.
Got a cold so all day long I have reading and watching TV when I am not napping.
Thank you for the post I am always wondering if it is healthier to do exercises in the morning?Quote:

I went for a 4 mile run this morning. Yesterday I played basketball with a friend. The day before that trail riding (bike) for 3 hours. The day before that I dug post holes with a shovel for a fence that I'm building.
I am going to do a few planks, a few push-ups and some yoga, after I find a way to get off from the computer :D
Dream, mi amigo, dream. Remember that Argentina, without a single professional player, nearly took the Rugby World Cup, and came within an ace of making the "established" Rugby nations look stupid! Every cloud has a silvery lining, but you, with your wide open spaces, your gazpachos, your legendary history, hold that silver in the palm of your hand. Ride, vanquero, ride!
Show off!Quote:

I biked 11km to and from the barn- where I proceeded to re-arrange a hayloft, ride a horse and haul around water buckets (and it was my day off!). Repeat six days a week.
I've walked from the couch the computer, raised my hand and turned it on... Hmmm, something tells me I should get back on the tredmil, after 3 weeks of missing my workouts.:svengo:
I'm watching TV. I plan to do it again tomorrow, too.
I walk every morning for an hour and then do toning exercises for wenty minutes. I also have a vegetable juice every morning for breakfast.
A cup of tea and two paracetamols, just to get me going.
Vegetable juice sounds good, do you prepare it yourself what vegetables you use?Quote:

I run every other day, giving my legs one day to rest. Distance typically ranges from 3 to 4.5 miles. With the heat of summer coming on, I must either run very early on weekends and late evening on weekdays. Yesterday morning was my run day.
Swimming is perhaps the best exercise one could do, no impact, working all the parts, but it is more inconvenient finding a lap pool, getting there, etc.

I ran around in the woods with a mastiff for a few hours yesterday. Today I'm doing yardwork when it stops raining.
layed in bed, did about 20 reps of fork-to-mouth yummy pancakes, went horseback riding, took a loooong nap, and just ate a bunch of fries yummy. now its bedtime again.
Yes I have a juicer (cleaning it can be a pain) and I prepare it myself I use the followingQuote:

I really like to taste of this juice and the apples really take the edge off.
Wow I have never tried celery juice, nor spinach, sometimes I drink beetroot and carrot with apple. I wouldn't say that it's my favourite - fruit juice tastes better orange or peach.Quote:

worked out for a little over an hour today.
I hope this thread inspired somebody to do something for their health. Even if it's only one person I am happy!
Thanks everyone for your posts!
Going to do some yoga :wave:
I try and do 20 to 30 minutes on my exercise bike on medium difficulty every day or every other day... I have to force myself to do even that because it's winter now and I don't feel like blinking my eyelids, let alone exercising :D
Well... I spent more than four hours in a car driving to and fro a sister company, seven hours in a conference room and another hour at lunch...:out:
Then, when I got back to work again I changed to biking wear, collected my bike and made quite a detour on my way home (about 45 minutes) to shake loose a bit. Pure bliss.
/Claes
Absolutely zilch! As usual. I know it's shameful but I detest exercise.
Great, Claes!!!Quote:

Thank's, but on the other hand that is what I always do all year round. Ok, I usually go straight home without the detour, but still... It's just my everyday exercise.Quote:

Fifteen years military service, running around like an idiot, sweating every year for aircrew medicals, watching my diet, out jogging every day, eschewing alcohol, all that. Now, I do very little, partly because of time constraints. Do I feel any worse off? No, but I don't worry about greenstick fractures, I can stick my tongue out at the food fascists who seem to want to tell me exactly how to live my life, and I enjoy myself a lot more without getting sweaty. Pass the chocolate. (I did give up smoking, though!)
