    What kinds of exercise do you do?

    Personally, I like distance running and weightlifting. When it gets below 35º I go inside and do the nordic track thing.

    My favorite exercise in specific is bench press. I love that I can wail on my pecks as hard as I want for 45 minutes and they never hurt. No burning, soreness, nothing but satisfaction. Unlike reverse flies. Those are ruthless.

    About the same with me, running, wheightlifting and, depending on the season, swimming and biking.

    I do not care how cold it is, I can handle a bit of snow and about -15°C.

    Running (5-15km), indoor floor exercises(pushups, situps, burpees, bench press), improv yoga.

    Anything below -7°C and I refuse to go running. (thats the temperature at which it starts to damage your bronchioles.)

    Psychoaerobics. Haha. Kinda reminds me of something my mother did at one time (She's very sedentary by nature and resists exercise of any kind). It's this program that has you combine stretching and breathing. She couldn't resist the idea of getting the benefits of exercise while not moving her body. But she still didn't have the discipline to stick. Oh well.

    Jogging (4 days a week), biking(1-2 days), general aerobics (2 days) and weights (3 days). The downside of variety is that a different part is sore,

    I bike a lot, and prefer pull ups. But lately I've been doing the curls to get bigger biceps.

    Hey ape, do you ever get sore near your collarbone from benching?

    In the summer I hike, hell bike and packraft. In the winter I eat.

    Yeah, I do get some soreness in the clavical after I've done the workout. I get some of that in the sternum too.

    Bandy aka floorball, best sport in the universe. I also do a bit of hiking and biking but I've been pretty lazy on that front lately.

    I work on the treadmill or exercycle, thirty minutes three times a week, at my 75 percent heart rate, which at my age (61) is 105. And since I'm getting along in the D.C. area without a car I walk a lot, including a 50-minute round trip to work every day. My resting pulse is 50, I can get up off the floor using only my leg muscles, I can carry two sacks of dog food from the car into the house in one trip (when I'm home), and I can carry on a conversation while walking 4 mph. Good enough for me.

    Crunches(usually right when I wake up, and still in bed, or in bed before I go to sleep) and running.

    That's damn impressive. 50 bpm. I know when I'm in shape, running 6 miles four times a week, I can usually get mine down to 45 bpm. But I think I tore my ACL a little so when I do run it's only for 4 miles. But 50 bmp is amazing for a 61 year old.

    One thing I noticed about when I was running was how big my legs got in relation to other runners. I figured if that's how my muscles respond to load, maybe I should get into weightlifting. So I did. Began lifting weights after my classes, taking in supplementary protein and I gained 10 lbs in a semester.
