I don't have to do much of anything to stay in the shape I am in.

I thought round was a shape.

I run, jump, stretch, beat and bend.
I run off at the mouth
I jump to conclusions
I stretch the truth
I beat around the bush
I bend an ear

I work out 6 days a week.

My work outs consist of 45 minutes of cardio. Normally I run for 20 minutes before weights and then some other form of cardio (elliptical) for 25 minutes after my weights.

My runs are done in "zones" where I run hard to burn the most amount of calories for short amount of time. For ex: I start at a jog page (6.0) for two minutes and increase the speed every minute until I reach my peak (8.0). At my peak, I keep the pace for 2 munites then I go back down to 6.0 and continue the cycle until I reach 20 minutes.

Once a week I take a spinning class. Spinning is a lot of fun and a lot of work.

Once I have done my initial cardio, I do weights for one hour. Weights are done 5 days a week.

In addition to working out, I eat well. Six days a week I eat well. I eat 5-6 meals a day consisting of something from the protein group, carb group, and veg group. After 6:00 P.M. I do not eat any carbs, just protein and vegetable.

One day in the week I allow myself a cheat day where I eat whatever I want. I normally crave something really unhealthy during the week so as a reward to myself for fighting the craves, I eat whatever my heart desires on my cheat day.

I also have eliminated soda and juices from my diet. I RARELY drink those, especially soda. I've found soda really hurts you in the weight department. If I crave juices, I either have vitamin water for b/c it has low sugar contents or have crystal light.

I have found that these activities keep me in shape and thin.

In addition to hiking, swimming, weightlifting, aerobics, tennis, and yoga, I am presently cutting, carrying, and hand splitting loads of firewood for this upcomming Winter. Winter is comming before we know it and I for one plan to stay nice and toasty warm.

The four main components to staying in shape are; strength training, cardio, eating right and plenty of rest.

When I lift weights I work out six days a week for an hour a day. I switch off every other day so for three days I'll work out my chest, back and abs, and my legs, arms and shoulders.

Cardio I like to do before I lift weights because it warms up my muscles. Usually it’s running or bicycling. I've read that it’s better to do cardio when you first wake up because you burn stored fat.

When working out your muscles you tear the inner most fibers and your body will heal itself (hence why your muscles grow bigger). You have to allow yourself plenty of rest so your body heals appropriately.

Eat right. I try to stay away from fast food and when I go out to eat I usually get a salad. Chicken and fish is where it’s at. Don't eat fried food. Simple stuff that everyone should know. Be sure to eat small meals throughout the day and stay away from consuming large amounts of food at one time (i.e. typical breakfast, lunch and dinner).

I use walking as much as I can to help maintain my weight. I will wlak the stairs when going between floors instead of the elevator. I will park the car far from the entrance to the store to walk more. I will walk around the city instead of driving store to store or bank and PO. This walking, coupled with the swimming daily, my yoga practice, and eating right keeps me healthy and at a comfortable body weight.

Well...what Ive been doing so far is spend about 2 hours 5 days a week at the gym doing my cardio exercises & body conditioning. And twice a week ive got 2 hour sessions of futsal (thats 5-a-side indoor soccer) which gives plenty of aerobic & physical workout.

But on top of that I watch what eat nowadays...low carbs & all, making sure i eat a balanced meal.

Go to gym 4 days a week for weight training, walk briskly 4 miles every morning and try to eat and drink (sob) sensibly. Have been doing this since I came out of closet and into the naturist world. (Have lost about 30 pounds since doing so) The doctor a few years ago told me I had high cholestral and had to do something. Unfortunately (just kidding) I made the mistake of telling my wife that she had to do something as she was the cook. So we started a diet of low-fat, low -taste and high-cost food but she got the cholestral to below normal in 6 weeks. Of course the weight loss followed. Came out of the naturist closet shortly after.
