I go indoors-climbing about 1-5 times a week.
Gymnastics 1-2 times a week (even though I haven't been showing up for some while now)
In the summertime I also go jogging maybe once every one or two weeks

Re: Ask HN: How much do you exercise a day/week?
#42Mostly every day. I go climbing two to three times a week, two to three hours each time. I try to run every other day, 3-4 miles, and I try to make it out to the gym twice or so a week. Nothing's that consistent except the climbing, so I hope to make it into a proper regimen. Last half year or so I've been going to the gym/running about twice a week but nothing on a schedule. However, I have set definite goals for cl…
heeeeyy.. I'm a climber as well :-)

#43I'm not someone who can exercise for its own sake. I'm no good at creating a structured routine for myself, and I'm terrible at following schedules. I get around this by living a bikeable distance from work and the grocery store. I've been able to cram in around 30 miles of bike riding per week simply by forsaking the car in my daily activities. If you can't keep yourself sticking to an exercise schedule, try piggybacking it on to your existing routine.

#44if you're looking for motivation, i highly suggest finding some sport that you enjoy doing. go looking for it, i'm sure one exists. i do a 2-3 hour workout 2-3 days/week centered around a martial art i compete in on the national/international level. the enjoyment factor really helps get you off the couch. and i do about 1 hour or so of warmup into a weight routine 2 days a week to compliment the other training.
Totally agree. I find organised and/or team sports to be most effective because you are committed to going regularly.

#45I play ultimate here at school, which entails three practices a week. I find that if I don't exercise on a weekly basis, I become easily irritable.

#46When I was in school, I learned the real value of exercise. When I had time to do them and still get 6 hours of sleep, I stayed healthy. When I didn't, I'd start to feel sluggish after a week and I was prone to sickness.
Doing a startup can be particularly difficult because there's nothing to force you to go out. But the toll it will take on your mental agility will compound.
You don't need an enormous amount of exercise. I'd advocate going out and taking a walk whenever you're stuck on something. It usually clears my head and I'll have an answer for what I was working on when I get back.

#47I play ultimate frisbee for my university. We play for three hours three days a week. That's enough exercise for me.
When it's the summertime, and, thus, when I have more time, I work out with the powerlifting team.

#48I exercise thrice a week, on average. Twice are chin-ups, sit-ups and push-ups followed by a run. The other is basketball.

#49p90x. But I dont strictly follow their schedule, I usually do it 3-4 times a week. You can do half of their workouts anywhere, and the other half with a pullup bar and some free weights.

#50I cycle around 30 min everyday to get around town and on nice days or weekends I'll go for longer trips on my mountainbike. Used to do long distance running and martial arts 3 times a week. Don't care to pick up running again, which can be perfectly substituted with cycling, but I'll get back into martial arts.
I'd really like to spend some time hiking again in the Rockies or back in Germany in the Austrian Alps :)
As mentioned on here - you have to get in the habit of exercising like 2-3 times a week. Usually you'll get that in any team sport through high school, such as basketball, soccer, football, hockey etc. After high school you just got ta keep up that rhythm. However, it will more difficult to get into the habit if you haven't started it earlier in high school already.
AND: NO JUNKFOOD/ NO POP/ NO FRIES... VEGETABLES/ FRUIT/ WATER etc. instead; DON'T EVER EAT AT MCDONALD'S (THAT WILL F*CK YOU UP INSTANTLY)
