    Probably slow and steady. Most of my exercise is walking but I do dance aerobics and basic stuff like crunches, ect... too (not as often as the walking). I have two kids and a job- I don't have the time or desire to spend forever and a day working out (and make myself so sore I can't take care of other stuff!). I'm still losing weight at a healthy rate so I'm happy!

    3-4. You can definitely tell when I've been exercising. And yeah, I sweat on the treadmill. But I don't go super fast all the time anymore. Sometimes you gotta stop and smell the lovely gym odors!

    Intensive - when I exercise... I tend to feast or famine... when I go - I go hell bent for leather. When I stop... I stop dead.

    Trying to find a way to be more intense - more often...

    Thanks for the post - I liked reading through the different types!

    Thanks for posting this. Realized I'm in the first category. I do things but I don't sweat at all. Gotta break the sweat barrier! Gotta!

    I am an intensive. I love to sweat my *kitten* off and I love to feel the burn afterwards. Nothing feels as good as a badass workout.

    Have always trained hard and still do! Although the weights have been going down because of age.

    Toss me into the "Intensives" group.

    I lift heavy weight 4 days a week and do cardio 6-7 days a week. I don't like doing less because I get less results. I don't do more because well...I do live my life. :flowerforyou:

    I try to walk 3-6 miles a day so I guess that makes me "slow and steady" however, I don't log things like "washing up, laundry, shopping" or any other daily routines. I log strictly exercise. Also when I walk, I try to keep it at a brisk pace, between 3 and 3.5 mph.

    I would say I am a mix of things, in many ways my training is hardcore, but I am always having fun.... and its not the only thing that matters to me... so maybe at an average I am an intensive..

    Apparently I'm an Intensive. Hmmm maybe that's why I keep getting injured??

    Right now I am somewhere between mainstream and intensive. I mostly cycle or jog and do lighter weights at the gym since I have very little strength, but 85% of the time, I have sweat running down my face and back and I'm sure I smell worse than I look. I push myself most of the time, but I have not gotten into the really challenging workouts...maybe after I drop another 15-20 lbs things will be different.
