Workouts

I used to work out 3x a week as an active duty Air Force officer, but now... not nearly as much.

About 1.5 miles of running 1x a week, though I tend to walk a lot... whether on job sites, events, dates, etc...
 
I try to do yoga everyday, but now it's like 4-5 times a week. When the weather is nice I put my front pack on and go for a walk on our property with the baby. Just recently I've also started a kickboxing dvd in the mornings.

I've always always always wanted to be a runner. And I cant. I literally break out in hives within 2 minutes of running. It is the strangest thing. I can dance for 5 hours straight, I can play sports, but I can't run. Not on a treadmill or on geound. My legs turn red and stay to itch like crazy. And doctors don't know what to think of it. So....bah.

I also hike up in the Alps in the summer.

Chasing after my kids. You might laugh, but going up a flight of stairs a half dozen times a day, then running around the neighborhood to find them is a work out in itself.....Don't even get me started on cleaning up their messes.

I'm assuming this means bending down to grab the toys a lot?
If so bend with your knees, not your back.

This isn't an exercise tip but rather a "don't permanently damage your spine" tip.
 
I used to run a lot, also while playing football/soccer. Not as much nowadays, maybe I would run once every two weeks if the weather outside is nice :)
 
I have been dying to work out. I want to, even walking for a long time would be nice but my face is so fucking swollen I can't do much these days.
 
I jog twice a week. Yesterday I went for 70 minutes.
 
I just started a nutrition and exercise program. Eating more lean proteins, and green veggies as well as working out thirty minutes a day. It's going well so far.

Mondays: Total Body/Cardio
Tuesdays: Arms
Wednesdays: Legs
Thursdays: Pilates
Fridays: Cardio
Saturdays: Full Body
Sundays: Yoga

wat? <.< >.> I just really wanted to sprint today. I did one 20 minute session then a 30 minute session.
 
I have the magic of hyper metabolism so I don't need to work out
 
I have that too, but you know... I like muscles.

I love full-body workouts... however, each day I may spend more time on one area than another.

In general, I try to work out six days a week, hitting my arms, shoulders, abs, and legs.
I do a mix array of exercises, usually whatever I feel like doing when I walk in the gym, but I usually end up doing a few dumb bell exercises, chest presses, push-ups, sit-ups, ab machines, elliptical (or running, depending on the day), and stretching.
I also attend a couple of classes that my Rec Center offers, such as cycling, and an awesome "Barbell Burn" class, where the instructor normally has us doing a ton of different exercises that hit everything. It's pretty dang fun.

I've also been working towards running a 13:30 1.5 mile, which was at first for the Navy, but now I'll be going Air Force, which calls for a slightly slower score for a 'minimum.' However, I now want to aim for the 12:00 minute 1.5 (my fastest has been a solid 13:00 so far).

I also incorporate CrossFit-styled workouts in sometimes, as well.

Edit: Also, squats and burpees are amazing! :D
