CloseWell, I just have to ask (being curious and all). Do you guys keep yourself fit other than stay behind the computer? If not, do you plan to? And what kind of exercises do you usually or would you like to engage yourself in ?
For me, it's usually either running or cycling at least every week ~ ~

Been swimming a lot during the holidays, but usually I just hit the gym 1-2 times a week plus some home exercises. Perhaps constant 2 now without PE. Switching to dumbbell training. Nothing beats that .. plus sauna afterwards! Heavenly.
I really really need to get back in the habit.
I've heard people say that they get some kind of endorphin high when they exerciser that makes them like getting up and running around. I never get that though, and my body's just like STTAAAHP. So its always a fight against whatever going on with the bureaucratic middle-brain-management bullcrap.
Is there a way to trigger an enjoyment of exercise via certain methods? I like doing martial arts but I hate running, for instance.

@Isrieri Running with people is helpful. It can help you not feel foolish running by people too. A doggy can be fun to run with too~
I swim a lot~ I exercise too when I feel swim season coming on and that's actually not too far off from now.
I picked that I exercise when I feel like it though because that usually has the same effect as not exercising at all and I think it's funny.

I walk to school everyday, and that's 2-3 km four times a day! (Morning and afternoon, back and forth)
I used to regularly play football every weekend too, but not anymore.
Gourd> actually when I was young(er) and stupid(er), I used to diss the neighbour's dog and then run from it as fast as I can. I've never been caught once. Both by the dog and the neighbour ;p
Oh, fun times...

I used to, now I just go for walks. But once summer finally gives up, I'm getting back on my bike and doing my daily rides.
I'm a pretty big fitness buff. I've messed around with boxing, Jiu-jitsu, and I my girlfriend and I got into hiking not too long ago. Weightlifting is my main thing though.

Yep, every single day! :D
Monday’s to Friday’s are a 90 minute, fast paced walk followed up later on with a 20 minute weight section, 20 minutes of using the rower downstairs, and, if I feel like it, 30 - 45 minutes in the sauna. I don’t use the sauna all the time, but a couple of days here or there are fine.
Weekends are an hour to two hours of basketball, soccer or hockey at the park; whatever I feel like playing at the moment. This gives me a break from all that stupid weightlifting / using the rower.
Exercising is fun! I usually tend to stick with things that I enjoy doing and will still continue to do it even if it’s raining or its freezing cold.

Sometimes I walk to work (30 minutes). Now that I've got a bike again I tend to bike that (10 minutes).
That's about all the exercising I do. Yeah once a month or so I get it in my head to take a walk for a couple of hours, mostly to catch up on my podcast backlog (or now with a bike I can bike for a couple of hours), but no I don't really exercise at all.

I walk to and from work, 30-35 minutes both ways, but that's about it at the moment. I used to walk for about 50 minutes in the evenings, but I haven't done so in a few months. Just finished a VERY lazy three week vacation where I did nothing at all, and I can tell that my waistline's gotten a little bigger as a result. Not what I want since I lost nearly forty pounds earlier this year, I don't want to undo all that work. Time to start getting off my butt again!
Starting to walk regularly again, 3 or 4 hours a day. Starting to lose weight again. My dad once told me that if they built a bridge to the moon, I could put a pack on and hike it.
I'm going to start doing pushups again. If I can move a piano by myself, surely I can pick this ass up.

I never exercise, but I don't need to, because my job can be grueling sometimes, and that in itself constitutes a workout.
Purists might not consider this "real" exercise, and I can't blame them, but I try to hike a couple miles in the woods (there are many lovely parks and nature preserves nearby) at least three times a week (monday, wednesday, and friday) weather permitting.
Try is really the operative word. Success rate is erratic, and might average out to actually getting out there once a week.
Anyway I'm kind of a nature lover and I find the idea of going to a gym or some other indoor environment where I can be seen and judged by other people super repellent...and even if I had the money or space for a home gym, I'd still prefer to walk around outside than use a bowflex or whatever. Basically only the beauty of exploring nature can get my ass actually moving. Exercising indoors is just something I can't motivate myself to do.
Now, is it working? Not really. I am still a flabby wreck, totally out of shape. I lost around 40 lbs recently but that was from being sick with Crohn's Disease more than anything else.

I try to play a little bit of Dance Dance Revolution each day. Probably not what experts would consider a "proper" workout, but at least it gets my heart beating a little faster.
It's not much, but I force myself to do a brief, simple routine in the morning. It's for clearing that waking haze I get when I first wake up as much as it is for actual fitness.

As someone who hikes in the PNW, hiking is definitely exercise.

Gah, I miss boxing. I wish there was any place with a heavy bag around where I am :P
I try to do a little workout each morning, and I was walking to and from work a few days a week. Now that it's getting colder, I'll have to make sure I do something every day.
Naw, hiking is exercise. I walk alot, but the last time I hiked, I walked from Fort Lauderdale to North Miami...I guess that was about 3 years ago. About 30 miles. Unfortunately, that freaked my wife out, so I was never allowed to go out and walk again. My weight went up like a balloon. You know, here back in St. Louis, my wife gone, I may just take a walk down Ringer like I used to and hike along the creek...I'll have to wait til it's warmer, of course.
