When someone comments that I must work out I answer... nope, I just work. The last 40 years I've worked in the concrete trade.
!0 years ago I was in the hospital for the first time, broke my leg on an elk hunt. broke it bad so was in the hospital 3 days. I woman Dr I hadn't seen before comes in with a clipboard... asks if I'm 52... yep... are you a professional athlete... nope... Hmmm, saw your charts and had to come see for myself.
Wife wasn't impressed when I told her.
6 years later I had a kidney stone, finally told the wife to take me to ER... young nurse takes my vitals, comes back and asks... how old are you... 58... are you a professional athlete... nope... wife standing there gives me the stink eye... I just shrugged.
Kent Like I said before!!! Says the guy who’s married to Ann Margeret’s twin sister!!! Kent, you stud you! And I ain’t talkin’ yeller pine!

3-4 times a week if we are home.
When we are traveling, I try to at least get in a run every couple days.

Thirty minutes on a treadmill, thirty minutes on a stationary bike and twenty minutes on an upper body bike per workout at least three times a week. Time flies watching some of the hot chicks workout at the gym. And there are also some not so hot chicks but then it's a no judgement zone...

Five times a week on tread mill at a 6% or more incline, 30 plus minutes. We're not designed to go uphill all the time.

I been shoveling gravel in to buckets and carrying them up the driveway to fill pot holes every day for a couple months now.
Feed the dog. Scoop the poop. Walk down the drive to dump the poop. Carry the buckets over to the low gravely spot and fill 'em. Carry it all a couple hundred yards and dump 'em.
I figure a full bucket of gravel weights about 50 pounds and I do that 2 or 3 times a day or more. Sometimes 10 if I'm out a lot that day.
No, I don't don't "work out" much though.

I try to make time to workout. I feel better physically and mentally when I do. My favorite exercise is bicycling, and we are blessed to have a network of dedicated paths on the levees here. I have had 3 left knee surgeries and have a torn meniscus and two cysts in my right knee. Lately the pain has made bicycling unbearable. I am putting off surgery as long as I can, but I am afraid the day is nearing. I have been lifting more and more since my 5th shoulder surgery. I have half an artificial joint. I can't do much. I Just pushed my bench press workout to 5 sets of 12 reps with 165 on the bench machine. I don't have enough stability without a socket component to use free weights. I did 60 pushups in 60 seconds before my shoulder replacement. I haven't really tried much since then because each time I tried it really stressed my joint. About an hour ago my wife asked me if I could do pushups. I told her I didn't think I could. I did 35 in one minute and was spent. My joint didn't complain as loudly as I thought it would. That was encouraging.
Damn, if I didn't have joint issues...

Weights 3 times a week (bench press, squats, Pendlay rows, deadlifts + variations and misc others) and cycling once a week. I'm a bit of a spectator at the gym too - there's some seriously strong men and women out there.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Over the last year I've learned one cannot outrun a bad diet. Monitor intake and workout/run/walk 4-5 days a week. Gotta keep that heartbeat up.

Damn, if I didn't have joint issues... Check with the Oregan members. I bet they roll good joints.
