- Jeremiah Owyang
I dont drive , so I walk to the transit stop, which is a little over 1KM. so everyday I do a min of 2KM walk avg. OVerall, most of the time its like 3Km /day of walking , every day for the last 4yrs :)- Keepin in shape da easy way !
- Peter Dawson
I do - but only because my shoulder is so messed up from being in an accident and typing all day.
- Gina
i try to lift or do cardio at least 3 days a week. more in the winter
- Eric Schurr
Aside from walking, like Peter, nothing else and I should be doing something else. @Jeremiah three times a week is a very good number, it's keeps you fit and active without wearing you down. That's what I used to do.

Weight-training 4x/week... cardio 1-2x

Not me. Is bad. Am just 17 and just a tad overweight. Sigh.
- Yuvi
cardio for 30 mins 3x per week - 2 hours of snorkeling 1x week.
- Brooklyn Art Project
Joga,swimming,soccer
- Igor Poltavskiy
I don't want to talk about it. I used to be in pretty decent shape, but getting back into IT has really done it to me. I lost about 30 pounds in two years when I was cooking, but I've gained about 10 of it back in the last two.
- Ha3rvey (heavy duty)
gym 3x/wk, soccer when I can plus frequent walks which involve carrying a toddler on my back.
- Nathan Eckenrode
Been working up to it. In fact, today I'll do my 3rd moderate 30min workout. Training for the January 2009 Walt Disney World Marathon.
- Mike Reynolds
Stationary bike, row, weights. At 50, it's definitely a battle, but one that needs fighting.
- Bob Walsh
Does small-child-wrangling count? If so, then yes..:-)
- Rjennings
Gym 3-5 times a week, plus run 12 flights of stairs 3 times a day every work day. It is not enough though. Just added pushup in my office to my work day routine this week.
- RAPatton
A 5-8 km run 3 times a week. I have to do sport, for school
- David Adam
I usually try for 5x per week. A combination of cardio and weights, going for overall fitness. Not trying to run a marathon or lift a car off the ground.
- steve albers
I do! Have a balance between moderate and intense but work out 6 days a week and have active rest on the 7th.

You walk a lot in NYC. I once clocked that I walk approx. 4 miles to and from subway stations, home and work. If you keep a good pace, it's not a bad base.
- Michael Chin
maybe once per week for me...
- John
I try to walk 3 - 4 miles every night. Late nights and rain occasionally stop me, so let's say I get it done 4 nights a week. Could definitely walk more when I'm in NYC, but instead of walking from 40th and 3rd to Penn Station I usually opt to get the LIRR in Long Island City. No walk and 2 stops on the 7 train.
- Kevin Shannon
As long as wii fit counts, I do that 30 min a day at least 2-3x/week!
- acetone
does blogging count?
- John Furrier
Me. Running most mornings. I combine Nike+ and GPS tracking to make it bloggable.
- Sol Young
I am doing an Ironman August 2nd. So, unfortunately for me, I do very little other than physical activity.
- Christopher Sacca
I'm a binge work-outer....I don't do it much, then work out like crazy for 4 days, then go back to my sedentary ways.
- Justin Whitaker
I've slowed down this summer but most of the time I'm in the gym 3 - 4 days a week for an 1 hour each. Mixture of elliptical / treadmill / weights. It's hard not to when your significant other is in medical school; I hear horror stories about what could happen if I don't.
- Benjamin Golub
I forgot to mention that I'm doing the 100 pushup challenge. Today is day 3 of week 1.
- Ha3rvey (heavy duty)
Just started again with push ups. In the past I walked, before 30 flights of stairs per day.
- Russellreno
Err.. yeah. I'm lazy. I do go on walks with my dog 3-4x a week..
- Phil Glockner
Almost exactly 3 times a week, although I'm looking to go to 5 here pretty soon.
- Justin Gardner
from twhirl
argh - stop reminding me!!! xD
- Dieter Schwarz
I go to the rock gym for 2 or 2.5 hours twice a week. I used to ride about 2 miles to the gym, but have lazed out. Similarly I was going to yoga for an hour and a half once a week, but that seems to have fallen by the wayside... :(
- felix
@Sol Young - huh! where do you blog that? I'd love to see how that combo looks on the tubes. :)
- felix
I do nothing at the moment but I am going to start soon as I feel unfit!
- Joe Dawson
i think it's hilarious that you asked this.

Been a runner since I was in HS, but recently injured my knee and now sidelined. Morale: run but stay off the streets (too hard on your knees).
- mark ivey
I workout 6 days a week; an hour to hour and a half. But I only resumed last week after a gap of nearly two months. Travel screws up my workout schedule :(
- Parth Awasthi
I work out three times a week for an hour each day. I'm a newly admitted Gym Rat.
- Blake N. Cooper
I do one sit-up every morning, and always make sure I think about exercise once per week. Having said that, I lost 20 kilos last year by dropping gluten out of my diet... no exercise. Lose wheat, lose weight.
- Paul Grant
I run on Mon, Wed, Fri morning with my PitBull. Tues,Thurs morning is biking or rollerblading with her.
- David Cook
Does chasing 4 youngsters while Thomas Hawk is doing his usual 100 laps in the pool count?
- Mrsth
2 mile walk about 2-3x a week, have to bike into work more
- Chris Christensen
I'm only doing one 30 min activity a week and feeling guilty for not doing more.
- Larry Kless

4-12 hrs/day walking & dancing when traveling. Here in Ohio, 2-4 hr walk every day with my sis (She's on vacation before starting a full-time job in a month, and studying for her medical boards). If possible, I'd like to do 12-16 dance classes/week, but travel nixed that - lucky if I get 6-10 hrs dance/week. Ideally, I'd have 3-5 gymnastics workouts/week.
- Mitchell Tsai
Yes, for quite a while now ... and I wouldn't want to do without it.
- Tom Landini
I take LOTS of walks, but nothing "moderate physical"... oops... i'm too tired all the time.
- Susan Beebe
I'm not sure it translates to 3 times a week at thirty minutes a pop, but I bicycle quite a bit. Currently about 250 miles/15+ hours a month.
- AJ Kohn
I swim a mile and a half 3 to 4 times a week.
- Thomas Hawk
Running, cycling and using our Endless Pool keeps this 120 pound frame... Uh... 120 pounds.
- Kevin C. Tofel
I run 3 to 5 times a week, and I walk to walk a couple times a week.
- Bill Sodeman
from fftogo
I have been walking at least 2 miles a day, every day, since March
- Douglas E. Welch
I run 6 days a week. My shortest run is 5 miles, longest during training is 16 miles.
- Jeremy Kunz
I do way more weekly, 30 min 3 x week is minimum recommended only
- mike "glemak" dunn
One of my friends had a funny comment in grad school. "I have two sets of friends. One group works out 4-8 hrs/day and the other group sits on couches and drinks beer all day. It's so hard to keep up with both groups." I grew up a skinny geek. Then ended up with people who worked out 4-12 hrs/day (gymnasts, athletes) and considered a 3-4 hr workout relaxing. It's sometimes a weird dichotomy.
- Mitchell Tsai
Trying to at least take walks and hike up a hill 3-5 times a week. I also want to get back into swimming and yoga. I dance sometimes, too.
- Cathryn Hrudicka
Last time I heard the physical fitness studies - Ten minutes twice a day (instead of 30 min/day), 3X/week gave 60-80% of the benefits of exercising 1-2 hrs 7 days/week. The aerobic benefits of exercising follow a parabolic curve. This info is about 10-15 yrs old. Ten minutes 2/day was as good as 30 min 1/day in the studies.
- Mitchell Tsai
Cathryn: If you like, I've got a lot of yoga teacher recommendations for the Bay Area.
- Mitchell Tsai
OK here's my theory. Don't live like me. 30 minutes 3x a week is 90 minutes a week. That's 4680 minutes or 78 hrs or 3.25 days a year. So 3.25 days a year times 40 years that's 130 days or a third of a year spent exercising. If you can guarantee that exercising lets me live longer than that for the time, I am in!
- Steve Rubel
STeve, u spend 130d across 40yrs, therefore 195d :60yrs, but that investment of 195D actually will increase the aging process to like 70-75Y.. its well worth the investment !!
- Peter Dawson
Steve: I don't know how true it is, but at a staff walk at Stanford, there was a sign that every minute walks extends your life 2 minutes (so you don't lose any time)... :-)
