Is cycling the only regular exercise you get?

[MontyVeda]

I cycle to work which takes 7 or 8 minutes, then run around for five or six hours, then cycle home again... work is my regular exercise.

Why "strength exercises" separate from "going to the gym". I go to the gym, and I do exercises that are related to strength there.

Its the fools that drive to the gym then spend 45 minutes on the treadmill that make me roll my eyes. Cut out the middleman, save some time and a lot of money.

Mostly on the bike. I don't like gyms/classes as I got bored - too used to being outside. I'll quite happily walk across Manchester, especially if there is beer at the end. I do quite a lot of gardening and DIY as well though.

Cycling is a very small part of my exercise. I only commute to work by cycle, which is 15 miles a day, 5 days a week.
I try to run 20 miles a week. More if I have time. I go to the gym 6 days a week.
I'm addicted.

There haven't been anywhere enough complaints about the options of the poll. It seems I'm the only one carrying out this traditional duty.

Becausec strength exercise and the gym are not one and the same.

Apart from cycling, luckily, my job entails walking 8+ miles a day. I gave up football 2 years ago but am seizing up, so may start again, I am 56................I go to the gym 3 times a week, I don't do any cardio stuff, my bike is for that and I don't use useless/pontless fancy machines, just a bench, bars, dumbells, kettles some free weights and voila! I am ripped, buff even, I've had a life long fear of getting fat and now I am ageing it's fear of being a spindly guy too. Never!

I also attend two dance classes a week and do a little bit of yoga.

Is that Irish dancing? .... I'd love to be able to do Irish dancing. Love watching it, I even seen Riverdance 3 times!

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

I have an allotment. That’s lots of exercise and fresh veg and salad too.

Exactly walk or cycle to the gym, don't in, go home and spend the money saved on a few pints.

Well, I walk to the bike, obviously.

On a long lead on a shared use path?

No. Latin dancing. A friend got me into salsa a few years ago and it's something I've fallen in love with and probably one of the best hobbies I've ever had as the social scene is enormous.

I would actually like to learn Irish dancing too but it's actually very difficult to find classes for adults as most are aimed at children.

It's time for that old 'escalator from car park to gym' photo!

 

[ColinJ]

PS I'm amazed that nobody ever suggested that they are running up the 'down' escalator!
