What do you do in the way of sport and exercise?

Regular team sport, martial arts, regular gym, training program, running? I'm interested!

I use to participate in regular team sports (changing sport regularly), but since 2006 I've gotten into training - it's satisfying and keeps you fit as well! Played 5 years of cricket; 3 years of basketball; 2 years of football; 2 years of tennis; 2 years of hockey; and squash for 3 years and counting. I'm always changing when I find something new and exciting. I urge more people to take up Squash! :smile:

I've been doing Ju-Jitsu for about a year and visit the gym once or twice a week lately.
Also I try to walk more instead of using public transportation, although that's not really a sport but it's also a slight bit of a workout, especially when you live in an area with many hills.

Do nothing went through a little stage of doing weights and jogging last year but then for some reason just stopped all of a sudden. Although it probably won't make any differance i'm going to be trying this new work out regime called Wii Fit I think any of you heard of it?

Used to do a lot of stuff. Sunday league football and a couple other sports.

Now I rely on meet ups with friends to play Football for my exercise.

I don't do any formal sport, but I tend to walk 2-5 miles a day just to get to places. I used to sail in lasers and toppers and climb on indoor walls.

Started karate half a year ago, but had to take a break because I couldn't fit it in my schedule. It's the first time I've actually been doing something physically active, but I know for sure that I'm not done with martial arts. I think it's the only "sport" that ever interested me.

I try to do loads of sports/excerise but since starting uni I haven't really been able to. I want to go to the tennis club but its on during a compulsory class I have so i can't go.

Over the last few weeks I haven't done any at all because I've got tendonitis, went for a swim this afternoon and felt so unfit because of it. I try to go to the gym 2/3 a week when I'm fit, but obviously haven't over the last few weeks.

Kungfu 4-6 hours a day, and I go to the gym when I do less.

I normally go to the Uni gym 3 times a week only doing cardio and doing free weights at home.

Monday, Friday, Saturday consists of Taekwondo training and Tuesdays of Athletics. I want to start doing a bit of gymnastics cos I want to learn the side aerial (aka cartwheel with no hands, aka the Matrix).

Nope, it's about as traditional as it gets. Wenshengquan, it's fairly rare. There's some videos of my master on youtube if you're interested.

I live 3/4 of a mile from work, that means i'm doing around 1 mile and half a day plus i don't eat particularly much.

It might not seem like much, but i'm still losing weight. I was, when i first came here 14 stone. I'm now 11 stone 4.

Walk 1.5 miles a day.

The occasional bike ride.

I just can't really be bothered I guess. I'm thinking of starting a Martial Art but :effort:

EDIT: Holy shit, it's actually 1.5 miles to school, so 3 miles a day total :o

Got into a regime recently; go to the gym twice a week and do free weights and body exercise at home. Been going gym for a few years now, but i've only just started to think properly what i'm doing. Find it really satisfying. :P

Sure, I'd love to see. I'm very interested in martial arts. :)

After seeing some videos, I've decided I'm also gonna learn how to dance like these people (minus the faggy clothing). Should get the ol' heart pumping.

Well there's a video of my master the national TV network did of him. There's three other videos on there, and i've got more stuff lying around that i'm too lazy to put up.

There's a lot to it so check out those videos and if you want to know more just ask and i'll be happy to tell you more.

Firstly welcome to the forum. You'll like it here i'm sure.

Wenshengquan is very rare, mainly because only one master is produced each generation unless under very special circumstances. It's about 400 years old, takes its roots From Tajiquan and Baguazhang, and is noted at one of the greatest styles for blending internal and external stength.

Tai Chi is gorgeous by the way. I've met many masters out here and it's incredible to watch.

Anyway, if you want any more info, just say.

So, is it purely self-defence techniques like in the video?

Ha, hell no, that's just a small portion of it. A lot of it is elbows, knees, scrapes, pushes, hell I learned how to snap a guys neck the other day. I just haven't put a video up of yet. There's a lot more to this then anything else i've ever studied (Karate, Tae-Kwon-do).

Sounds interesting. I ought to check out the possibilities of studying martial arts here in Denmark.
