I wish I could..... I can't even call myself a couch potato, because I never sit in a couch due to mobility issues. Miss running. Miss swimming. Miss skiing. Miss handball.

Otherwise I am could race someone in playing scales.... Lynx? Are you up to a saxophone scale race? Do we start with B major? (I will give you a grace periode to count the sharps ;-) )

I don't know what to choose. I'm a couch potato while at home but I gave up personal transportation for walking and public transportation.

I usually exercise 3-4 times a week. My workouts have been rather diminished lately due to exercise-related injuries. A torn shoulder really puts the pinch on pushups, burpees, curls, presses, and just about every other arm/shoulder/chest exercise. :(

Toi, I see all your "missing's"... and have to counter that with the fact that I am... Miss Behaving... Miss Conduct... and probably worthy of a Miss Demeanor. :)

I workout at least three times a week but I don’t consider myself an athlete. I stay active to be healthy but nothing hardcore. Unless you consider cycling for three hours at a time hardcore. Lol Other than that I go for walks with my dog, do Pilates and yoga occasionally. I also love being a couch potato. All day movie marathons are the best! :D

I've always had a love/hate relationship with exercise--I love to hate working out. And I've never had an athletic (not to mention coordinated) bone in my body, ever. I am the least athletic and least coordinated person you will ever meet. But, I try to make myself work out anyway because I'd like to travel, and that usually requires a lot of walking.

My current routine is an hour on the treadmill followed by 20-30 minutes of weight machines, ideally 3 times a week (sometimes, this plan never moves past the stage of just being an idea! :rolleyes:), so when I get done with a workout, I usually feel fairly accomplished.

That is... until I'm around any members of my family.

My parents will say, "Oh, let's go for a short walk..." and their idea of a short walk is 3 miles... before breakfast... in the snow... uphill... both ways. :rolleyes: Seriously. What my parents will call "a walk" always has me running just to keep up with them.

And let's not even talk about my little brother. He and I were traveling several years ago and our first train was late, putting us in serious danger of missing our second train. He told me to RUN, and when I couldn't keep up with him, he grabbed my backpack so that all I had to carry was one bag instead of two--and he was carrying 3: my backpack, HIS backpack, and his separate day pack. He was easily carrying a good 100+ pounds of gear in addition to his own body weight and I STILL couldn't keep up with him.

Needless to say, we made it to our train on time.

And for the rest of the trip, I tried to tell him that he was to be my own personal pack mule from now on. (He didn't quite agree with that.)

I suppose God made it this way to keep me humble. Every time I finish a workout, I think I'm doing ok. And then, I spend time around my family... and promptly go back to realizing that I am actually an overgrown slug. :p

My job is cooking food at Mcdonalds so I don't have to work out. My job is a good cardio routine as it is.

I work out anywhere from 3-5 times a week...

yet I’m quite curvy. I don’t consider myself an athlete. For whatever reason, my body cannot lose weight right now. So, my workout out is for the health of my heart and muscles. I do feel strong. I feel like my whole body gets a very good workout. Kickboxing workout for the WIN. It’s SO much fun. :)

My job is physical too and I get a thorough workout each shift. At home I am mostly a couch potato.

I'm not sure where to cast my vote. Someplace between serious athlete and very athletic. My daugther calls me super-granny. LOL.

I probly walk more on a daily basis than the majority of people on this thread here.

By the time I get home, the last thing I wanna do is move my body around even more. So I spend my time off sitting in front of some kinda screen.

I was never athletic, but was always active. I used to enjoy working out.

These last 5 years since I've been caring for my Dad, I haven't been able to keep active, and my physique has gone to the dogs. I went from 170# and nicely defined to over 240# and looking like a gob of chewing gum. I hope that I can someday get back to being active doing the things I liked doing like biking, swimming, and lifting weights.
