1) I walk, hike, climb stairs, and cycle ... mostly. I also do a few extra things like spending an hour trying out sea kayaking for the first time a couple months ago, and snowshoeing one afternoon about a month ago.
2) Depends. Anywhere from maybe 15 or 20 min to several hours.
3) Walking burns about 200 cal/hour. Cycling burns 100 cal per 5 km. Climbing stairs burns 30 cal for 5 flights.
4) Every day. But not everything every day. One day I might just go for a short walk. Another day I might climb 25 flights of stairs and go for a longer, brisk walk. Another day I might cycle for 3 hours.
5) All day. I walk as part of my commute. I climb a set of 5 flights of stairs when I get up to use the toilet. I go for a walk at lunch. I ride my bicycle inside on the trainer after work or in the afternoon on a weekend. Whenever I can fit it in.
6) About half.

Please share details about your workouts.
1)What do you do? Another Fitness Blender person here. I've invested in some of their calendar programs and am loving it. I completed the 4 week low impact program and in 2 weeks will start the 8 week fat burning program. I do cardio, weights (I have dumbbells), pilates, yoga, walking, kickboxing and whatever else catches my fancy. I also have a good amount of DVD's I've collected including some beachbody programs, Leslie Sansone walking DVDs, various types of yoga. I pop those in sometimes.
2) How long do you do it for? At least 30 minutes 6 days a week, but it varies and sometimes I go for an hour depending on which work out I'm doing.
3) Hoe many calories does it burn? Typically about 200-300 but sometimes as much as 400, that's really rare for me.
4) How many days a week? 6-7 days a week, the seventh day is always recovery and something very light.
5) What time do you do it? Morning but school is starting and I sub, so soon it will be after school on work days.
6) Do you eat back your workout calories? If I'm hungry I do.
Thank you and good luck

Ultimate is every wednesday, weather permitting, and typically goes for ~2 hours. Skiing is also every wednesday, weather permitting, and typically goes for 4 hours.

6) Do you eat back your workout calories? Sometimes. Sometimes I eat all of them, sometimes I eat none of them. My overall average is pretty low (maybe eat back 25% of them).0 -
Another vote for Fitness Blender here. I've been doing their workouts about 4-5 days a week (just bought a 4-week program yesterday). I also walk as much as possible and run when I can.
I usually burn an extra 400 - 1000 calories per day depending on how much I do. I eat back most of my exercise calories. I have a fitbit and feel it's reliable.0 -

I mean, we do have some of those but then it's just a bunch of regular folks -- old, young, men, women. However, the darn place has been closed for THREE WEEKS, first to set up for our county fair, and then to do maintenance and upkeep. It totally makes sense for them to do that right after the fair when they have all the equipment moved out, etc. But still annoying.
So anyway, it's just too dang hot for me to want to do any walking. I have looked at some videos on youtube but sigh... so boring and I hate them. But then it occurred to me, why am I thinking that I have to do those movements along with music and the person who's leading. So now I've been putting on on-demand episodes of various TV shows that I've wanted to watch but just never got around to it. At the moment I'm working my way through a season of Hell's Kitchen. The show is divided up into segments -- first shorter challenge, winning team goes on reward while losing team slaves away back in the kitchen, prep for the main challenge, then the main challenge. With commercial breaks in there. So I start and do some high step type movements until the first challenge is done. Then I move into some fast side-by-side lunge things like they do in aerobics classes. Then I do some sort-of dance hop things. I move my arms up and down also which gets the heart rate going.
By dividing it up according to what part of the show they're on it makes it so much more doable. I'm always pleasantly surprised at how fast the time has gone. I can't actually make it all the way through an entire episode, not yet. But that's my goal.
So that's been my solution while the gym is closed and it's too hot to walk outside. The gym re-opened today though, but I'm thinking I'm going to keep my Hell's Kitchen Workout even when I do go to the gym. It will just be some extra movement.
Posts like these just motivate me to find a way to workout no matter what.I love how you divided your favourite tv shows according to your weight loss segments.Thank you for sharing this wonderful tip.

1)What do you do?
I am fortunate enough to have an elliptical in my home. However, once and a while I just don't feel like getting on that thing. So I would do workout DVDs. I feel like I lose most weight or lose goal weight for the week when I remain active. For example, in addition to working out, I would go for a walk or play some sport.
2) How long do you do it for?
40-60 minutes. I try to at least get an hour activity.
3) Hoe many calories does it burn?
According to my Polar fitness watch, 300-600 calories
4) How many days a week?
I "work out" 4 days/week. I try to be active every day.
5) What time do you do it?
I just fit it into my schedule because my work hours vary.
6) Do you eat back your workout calories?
Not usually. There was awhile there that I would eat them back, and I wasn't losing anything. So it wasn't working for me. Sometimes it is trial and error. You have to figure out what works for you!0 -
I also hate the gym, but I recently started kickboxing classes and I love them. They are an hour long and I go about 3-4 times a week. However, I know not everyone wants to go somewhere or pay for classes. Here's some things I do at home..
1)What do you do? Blogilates (on youtube, LOVE her), Jump rope, jumping jacks, weight lifting, elliptical, walking/jogging
2) How long do you do it for? Depends, but I try to get in 30-60 mins of exercise at a time
3) Hoe many calories does it burn? Depends
4) How many days a week? Most of the at home workouts are for off-days when I'm not kickboxing so I used to do them more. Now I probably do some/most of these things 2-3 days a week
5) What time do you do it? Evening, after work.
6) Do you eat back your workout calories? Sometimes, if I am hungry or feel I need the calories for the day. I used to more when I was eating 1200 calories a day but I've since bumped up to about 1500 (usually land at about 1400), and typically I'm not hungry enough to eat the extra calories.0
