| i work out in the gym cause it makes me feel like a total badass amongst others in this community. |

| exercise makes everything physically easier. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I just ate 4 cheese burgers. |
| I lift and run outside, on alternate days. For 2 main reasons: to keep looking fit and to ward off depression. |
| I used to lift about 2 years ago, also ran. I'm trying to get back into it but once you become a couch potato it's hard to go back, gave away my bench a while ago and my treadmill's belt is a little too narrow, feels like I'm walking on the catwalk whenever i try to run on it. Guess I'll try to get into jogging around the neighborhood. |
| I like to play frisbee and basketball, as well as run. I find all three fun, but the extra health benefits are just another plus. I have a pretty bad diet, so it's probably a good thing. |

| I think working out in a gym is a waste of money. I played several sports in high school but stopped soon after. I picked up Tae Kwon Do a few years later which helped me get out into the world again. I became more flexible and it gives me goals to work towards. I started going to tournaments last year and was able to make a few friends. |
| I go to the gym almost everyday, hell I just came back home. I have also been going to a taekwondo dojo for about ten to eleven years, never got tired of kicking the fuck out of people. And since it's summer and I live in an small island, I get to go to the beach a lot so I swim and windsurf. I also play a little bit of badminton. Anything else... forget it. Especially team sports. |

Omnimalevolent1 said: krav maga is as ineffective as run of the mill bb karate or tkd, you as a muay thai practitioner should know this. Karate/tkd/krav maga even standardised kungfu sure useful against people who cant fight but useless against fellow martial artists.I practice Muay Thai with a co-worker each day after work (I work graves, so it is usually in the morning) After a long day throwing freight I am usually a little tired, but nice and warmed up. Helps me blow off a little extra steam, and in turn sleep like a log. It is useful because it helps me avoid injuries from accidents (although not from sparring... :P) Since my shins and wrists have been sufficiently conditioned (while watching movies I will repeatedly hit my legs with bats to harden the bone; otherwise my legs would pretty much shatter from some of the blows needed in Muay Thai), and I am very flexible, have developed my reflexes, and of course used to taking blows/falls; it allows me to avoid breaking bones or otherwise seriously injuring myself in certain situations. Of course it also helps that you can pretty much kick anyone's ass if you are so inclined (which is uncommon) doing large amounts of damage, yet not doing anything excessive; most people I have fought, I have no desire to permanently maim them, so I forgo more 'efficient' techiques. Granted I would not want to face off with someone skilled in a practical martial art like Krav Maga (or anything which focuses on going after soft tissue; taking a blow to the solar plexus is a bitch, but getting your eyes gouged out is worse imo) or someone toting weapons/ loaded up on pcp. But against the unskilled fighter, or even more hilarious another run of the mill black belt in 'Karate' or 'Tae-kwon-do'; it works great. |

I do know there is a lot of bullshit in "street defense" martial arts to trick soccer moms into thinking they can fight and I've never met any Krav Maga practitioner, are they really as bad as a McDojo school? Also I think its unfair to call all Karate as run of the mill, while karate has a lot of McDojos some branches like the Kyokushinkai are very practical in their approach and have proven themselves in the pro ring even against Muay Thai although Muay Thai has a better track record of spewing out good fighters. |

| I ride my bike 5 miles a day (2.5 to and from work) mon-fri. I do this to stay in shape/healthy. I also play basketball on tuesday nights for about 3 hours. I do this for the same reason and also because my love for the sport. Im very competitive to I get really into the games. I think its important to stay healthy, especially since i want to get the most out of life. It also doesnt hurt to feel confident about my body when I approach a female :) |
| "Today was a good day." -O'Shea Jackson |
| Well, you at least need to get 30 minutes of exercise a day. I play soccer outside for about.....2 hours freestyling, im doing this to keep shape and show off my skills when the time is needed, which is at the park XD |
 |
| I grew up playing soccer and did athletics until I was in my mid teens. Now I lift 5 times a week (on PHAT) and do cardio on off days during my cut (pre-summer). I plan on starting Judo in the new year when my money situation is a bit better so that will probably be twice a week on top of what I already do. Lifting is the most important thing in my life (equal to anime) so I eat clean, lift heavy, and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle (no drinking or smoking). |
| I usually play basketball with some friends and exercise in my spare time. |
| I love to swim; I started when I was in the 5th grade. I'm currently going to college this fall, so it's been 7 years. Swimming is really fun and I play some handball with my friends when I have time. Plus, swimming helps build great stamina! |
 |
| I workout to be in shape (and to have capacity for my tennis marathons) and play tennis because I love the sport. |
 |
| I rarely work out, and when I do, it's to stimulate my brain. |
| Baseball, lacrosse, and martial arts. I also snowboard and longboard. |
| I play basketball, run around like a maniac, and practice kendo. And I swim, when the weather allows it. Why do I do these things? Well, to quote a wise little alchemist: "To train the mind one must first train the body." - Edward Elric I think that anyone who wants to learn something should exercise in-between doing so; like Darkraivids said above, it stimulates the blood and brain, assuring knowledge is gained so much faster. |

| I rarely work out because i'm lazy, but I like to play football and to wakeboard! |

| The whole "30 minutes of exercise a day" thing is mainstream nonsense. It doesn't matter how long you exercise for. The important thing is getting your heart rate up high enough for X amount of time so it burns off excess calories that are above your maintenance calories (how many calories your body can burn off by itself each day). if your maintenance is 2000 calories but you consume 2500 calories that day you will need to burn 500 calories to maintain weight. To do this you would need to do cardio exercise at a certain intensity (that gets your heart rate up to a certain point) for X amount of time. That can vary between 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on age and body type. samwise said: Hey when u work out is it ok to run everyday Yes it's fine, but preferably do it after working out and not on leg days. |
| I train nearly every day... only reason I dont train every day is because my body needs rest, If it was up to me I'd never stop training ^_^ I train because I have to... Ninjas must be elite or they die BEAST MODE!!! |
| I've been rowing for the past 2 years or so, thanks to that I've been able to keep a fairly good shape. It's a good sport :D |
| Ran track and cross country for my high school. It was just me and one other guy for 4 years...he was one of those guys that would call me everyday to get a workout in...it sucked. But it showed me that success doesn't always com easy. |
 "Ally to good, nightmare for you." |
| I've played soccer for the past 15 years, I just do it for the fun, competitive sports are the best. I also jog 4 kilometres at least three times a week, just to stay fit, it makes me feel good about myself :) |

| I have been training muay thai 9-10 times a week for the last year and a half, I train so that I can competitively fight, the rush inside that ring when you're about to fight is the most unreal feeling :) |

Not for pro fighting. Despite bordering on Thailand, my country haven't really produced much international MT fighters compared to Australia. Must be pretty awesome to train with the guy. |

| I randomly decide to exercise as the days pass on. In high school, I played football and tennis while working out in the school weight room. I guess you could add those to my list of hobbies back then. Nowadays, I find it more and more difficult to juggle school with anything else. I do like to pick up a racket or jump into a pool/ocean whenever I can, though. |
| Used to play lot of sport when i was younger but now its usually just basic exercise and workout. I do it to keep my self and shape or just to burn off all the energy i be having, kinda keeps me from going looney. Now i might be heading toward boxing since im doing a lot of boxing routine |

| I play basketball 30 minutes-3 hours a day, as long as I sweat. I exercise because having a weak body is a burden for me. |
