I'd actually never kept track of how long I spend...but I'd say, aside from cycling or hikes, never more than 3 hours. That seems a bit vain but if I didn't do that much exercise I'd blow a gasket.

I ran for an hour today after not having run for 6 months or so. Felt so good.

Hmm....I am erratic, I don't really follow any kind of regime. I eat what I want to for a while, then i try to eat healthily for a while....then I get bored and go back to my diet of chinese take outs and supernoodles.

I don't do any 'formal' exercise, but I walk a lot. I also tend not to be still for any great length of time, unless I am working on the computer (doing an essay, or avoiding doing an essay by mucking about in the cellar).

I don't do drugs...much. I drink too much. I smoke intermittently.

I try to avoid too much stress......but seem to find myself in stressed situations anyway. I spend a fair amount of time by myself when i feel the need to. I spend time with friends and family when I want to. I play with my dog a lot.

Many people in rural areas can't walk. There are no sidewalks, the roads have 50 mph speed limits, and no shoulder, so you can't walk there, and there is nothing within walking distance anyway.

When I visit my MIL in the NC tobacco fields, I don't walk for the entire time I'm there. It sucks.

Rural people are fatter than city people, on average.

My bad, I didn't mean everyone meant like cardio walking around a city park or something. I just meant, basic locomotion walking. I didn't get it was the cardio walking. I'm in college, at a Big 10 university. I do plenty of walking just to see friends and go to class.

Right now I am in a good situation. I don't work out as much as would like too because throughout high school I worked out basically everyday for 2+ hours for football and I've kind of burnt myself out from it but I will go everyonce in a while. But I play raquetball 2-4 times a week which gets pretty intense and then, now that it is nice oustide, I will go outside whenever I can.

I live on one of the biggest campuses in the world so I regularly walk 2-5 miles a day depending on what I do so I will burn a lot of calories that way. When I go home for the summer I will have to think of some way to help stay in shape, probably start lifting again.

For food, I don't have much choice since I already paid to eat at our dining hall (you have to if you live in a dorm) and if I eat in the dorm or out the food usually isn't that great so I don't have that working for me but I don't eat horribly.

Basically, I just eat whatever but don't go overboard and then I will try to be active, more than walking, at least 3-4 times a week. Everyone is different though.

My exercise routine is awesome!

I have this handy 22-lb. weight that I take everywhere with me, and I repeatedly lift it up and down all day long. Whenever I put it down, it immediately starts moving and I have to chase after it.

It also regulates my diet by demanding half my food off my plate, and only giving me a few minutes to eat what's left before it's time to get back to lifting.

I'm telling you, my arms and legs have actual muscular definition to them. I am in the best shape of my life, no doubt about it.

And it gets heavier as you get stronger.

My philosophy is cupcakes.

I had to bookmark that page, for those cupcake-less days.

For me, real life is much less stressful than being a student. I leave work at work. Relax at home. No homework hanging over my head. No major papers due in a month.

You're so gellin' my eyes are wellin'

I'm working toward having a good outlook like that; I have a way to go.
