went from 140 (before)
to being 185 (after)
In 1 1/2 years of working out and eating protein. I only work out 30-45 minuts a day....1 day pushups incline/decline off the bed. 2 day curls 25 pound dumbells and then i downgrade as it gets to the harder reps. 3 day deltoids with pushing dumbells over the head.....it all works out great.

I workout when I remember too, I usually ride a bike 30 minutes an evening, I started lifting barbells again. This is good, i used to just ride far enough to buy the beer from the store, then my workout was opening a beer and drinking it...

I am a shitty swimmer, and I dont have the money for serious fun exercise. I live where there is no surfing. But skiing...hiking, snowshoeing..is where it is at in Utah. I might just be able to afford to hike and camp nowdays anyway.

I have a pretty physical job, and I also practice martial arts [aikido] 3 times a week for 1.5 hours each time. I do it because I love it, and the people that I train with.

My new year's resolution is to get down to around 140lbs. When I started, my weight was 175lbs. I am now down to 159lbs. I've been stuck around 163lbs for the longest time. All I do is run and changed my diet. I run 6 miles x 5/wk. Especially in this heat, I dropping pounds like crazy. I lost 7 pounds last week.

i've been meaning to start working out for so long. i've fairly thin and toned looking without working out, but i'd like to be more cut and stronger.
i just lack having someone to go with me. i feel awkward working out alone plus i'm not very educated in weight training (though i took the class, and passed it....haha)

I work nights at a large home improvment warehouse stocking BBQs, mowers, pallets of nails, ect. Not to mention unloading the trucks and pulling pallets around a huge store. I put on 20 pounds of muscle the first two months after I started. I'm in the best shape of my life right now. I can't stand "working out," because after your done, you've still done nothing.

I do three sets of fifty push ups a day now, and run a mile every morning to get woken up a bit(after the moring doob). Used to do more but I go to gym for an hour or so two or three times a week. But this works fine for me. Very satisfied with where I am at these days. Jobs usually demanding (esp. as of late), and I can't eat a thing in this heat so I'm smoking tons of pot to forcefeed myself this summer- only to keep an even keel on my weight cause I metabolize everything quickly. Guess I do it because I like the difference in attention I get now, and that does have a real effect on your overall confidence. Helps with the ladies.

Push/Pull/Legs is probably the most popular three day split there is. Those are terms i hear most. I used to do it went i only had time three days a week to commit myself to lifting. I prefer to do a 5 day split because recovery tends to be better that way for me.
I do it just to be healthy and look better. I need to improve my willpower because if i ever stop going for whatever it takes away for me to get back into routine. I really need to go today, its been a while since I've been when i injured myself.

I work out at the gym for an hour a day, 5 days a week. Half of that time is spent on the treadmill. As for why I do it, it's mainly to look good and keep the weight off. It also helps compensate somewhat for unhealthy eating habits.

i used to be a big workout freak from 13 or 14 till i turned 21. now i just don't care...i don't see the point in working out anymore. i don't feel better, i still drink and smoke so i was never in cardio shape...i just had big muscles.
now i'm cool with taking a break and maybe getting into light body weight resistance type workouts instead of the heavy lifting i used to do. i'd hate to see my abs go, so i think i'll get into situps pretty soon again.

i find that hard to believe...if you are fueling your workout with garbage food, you'll get a garbage workout. you can only get out what you put into your body. a diet of snicker bars and hardcore running/lifting isn't going to compensate imo, but then again i'm no nutritionist.

Well, my diet isn't that unhealthy, but it does consist of a few more calories and fat than I should be eating.
