So late, late last night (or early this morning, depending on your point of view), I posted source information on the Exercise Framework that I'm working on.

Anyway, I was curious... for those of you who actually do so, what kind of workouts - gym, yoga, martial arts, what have you - does everyone out there do? Even if you know I already know about it, post anyway to share with others, and take a look back later to chat with others who might share an interest in similar activities! =)

Alright, alright, I get the hint :-P

Biggest thing: fencing, and not the wooden, chain, or barbed wire kind. The kind with long steel sharp things. That's 3-4x a week @ 3-4 hours a nite.

In addition to fencing:
1) going to the gym. Gotta keep things in balance as fencing is one sided. I figure 3-4-5?x a week @ 1-2 hours per. And I've worked with some very good physical trainers over the years to refine my technique. It's been more than once I've been asked to become a trainer.

2) yoga: incorporate yoga into stretching. I used to take a bunch of classes as part of cross-training.

Other things I've done, but not consistently or in a while, although I might still do stuff occasionally

qigong
kung fu (5 animals style)

and occassionally, going out to dance. Love to dance. :-D

I still want to find a fencing school - and unfortunately, the only thing in the phone book for this area is a school that teaches the wooden, chain, and barbed wire kind.

There are a couple of colleges that offer classes to the public (I think), but they're really too far to be practical - it would turn into a two hour round trip commute for what would likely be an hour session.

I kick myself for not taking classes when I lived in Watertown, which had a fencing academy. And these guysmay have existed since 1858, but I don't remember them being at that location...
