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

PS it's the States ? Wrong side :tongue: Come on, no yank goes the wrong way up something...:rolleyes:

I walk dog 3 miles a day, during the week, 5 or 6 at weekends. I ride my bike somewhat intermittently. Gym used to be almost entirely confined to a gym bike with occasional weights. Last winter I cancelled the gym and got a dumb turbo. I did far less than I should have and reached the spring less fit than I would have liked. This winter I've bought a smart turbo and worked consistently 4-5 sessions a week all the way since mid-November.

I do occasional projects for strength I bought a new house last year and spent two weeks holiday breaking up cement raised flower beds with a pick and carrying rubble and earth to the skip. Over 30 tonnes all in.

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!


Never too old to be buff.
 
Walking is the only thing I do regularly in addition to cycling but I've never actually measured it consistently to say how much and it tends to be getting of the bus a stop early rather than sitting in traffic for a shorter walk to work; and that's only about 1/2 a mile.

We went for a walk today as it was too icy fit the bikes. In the end, we walked 11 miles :shy:
 
Apart from cycling, for the last year I have taken up dancing and I do at least 2 x 1.5 hours of Latin and ballroom dance classes per week plus social dances if any decent ones going. I enjoy dancing with my partner and the best exercise is when you don't really notice that you are exercising ie its just fun. Ballroom jive is especially energetic.
