Getting to know you: where are you and what activities do you do?

I'm just curious Big Smile

Where do you live? (state, region, city, whatever info you feel like sharing)

And what H&F activities do you like to do? or at least what stuff do you do regularly?

I live in Chapel Hill, NC and I like to run, strength train, and do yoga occasionally.

Re: Getting to know you: where are you and what activities do you do?

  • I live about 20 minutes outside of Penn State University in central PA.

    I like to run and cycle.  I am looking to add strength training and yoga. 

    Thanks!!

  • I live right outside of Hartford, CT and I basically just love to run :)  I have yet to find anything else that I like to do as much!
  • Love having these introduction type posts since I recently changed my sn and need to get back into a healthier lifestyle!

    I live in Southwest Florida -- beautiful beaches and fabulous weather year round!

    I enjoy cycling. I am not a cycling but I do enjoy taking my bike out for a ride around the neighborhood. I also enjoy walking / running. I have done Insanity in the past and plan to start the workout program again soon! I also enjoy yoga but do it at home, I have never taken a class. My husband and I also bought boxing gear recently and we have been working out with that, we plan to buy a bag soon!

  • I live in Boulder County, CO.

    I am a group fitness instructor.  I teach Les Mills classes (Bodypump and Bodycombat), a TRX core training class, and a stroller bootcamp that I designed on my own.

    I dabble in running and do 10K's with my friends as well as mud runs.

    I started CrossFit about 5 months ago and now that is really my "thing."  My team has a very good chance of going to regionals for the CrossFit Games and I have a very good chance of being on that team.

  • I live in Seattle.

    I swim, bike and run. My big passion is swimming. I was told by my coach last month that I did too much swimming and I needed to drop my yardage to focuson on biking and running.  Bummer!

    In the off season I like to take Zumba and bodypump classes, or try a new class. This year I tried kickboxing! It is a fabulous workout!

  • I live in Minneapolis. I'm a runner, I do lots of spinning and elliptical for cross-training and I'm just getting into yoga.

    I like to run and lift weights, and I was considering training for a triathlon this summer.

     

  • Where do you live? NC

    And what H&F activities do you like to do? or at least what stuff do you do regularly?

    I *sometimes* run, and most of it is just sprints and hill work.

    I mainly strength train, CrossFit when I can get someone to watch the baby, and do yoga.

  • I live in Pittsburgh, PA.  I love biking in the summer, learning to run and loving yoga and pilates right now.  I do a lot of Jillian Michael's work out DVDs at home and swear by her DVDs.  I also did P90X a couple of years ago got great results but just haven't had the motivation to start it again since it's so time consuming.

  • Seattle area.  I like to run and do a class at my gym called "dynamic strength training".  It is a combination of weights, core, and cardio.  Also, the masochist in me loves a good boot camp.  It's been a couple years since I've done one, though.
  • I'm on Oahu, but moving to Syracuse in 6 weeks.

    I primarily do Olympic and powerlifting. But I also schedule in yoga, high intensity intervals & plyometrics, and some low intensity steady state. I like long walks on the beach ;) No, really, that's what I love for my active recovery days. 

  • Haha. All over. I'm in IL but moving to PA next week.

    I mostly run. I also snowboard, hike, and mountain bike. We like to play volleyball too.

    I do mostly group fitness classes (Trx, kettlebells, yoga, kickboxing, spin and lifting).  I also run (training for my second half) and later this summer am looking into getting a bike for I can do some sprint tris (I also love to swim but that is harder to find time and space to do)
