Who walks or runs now that you have given up the stinkies and can once again breath? Or what do you do to up the heart rate?

I walk and hike. Living by the mountain I get a weekly 10k hike in. I have very small dogs so I walk them 5k's 3 times a week.
Used to do all that while smoking but now it's far easier to actually get out and do it. I used to be a runner but busted up my knee and haven't gotten back into it.

Se.........um.......keeping busy 
Can't run or walk far. Back won't allow it. I have an Orbitrek that I use to up the heart rate, or just watch women's tennis

Wish I had the time and space and company to run.
for now it's pretty much a 5km with the missus and man's best friend.
Considered getting a treadmill as well but the good ones are kak pricey, perhaps the December elves will squeeze one into the stocking somehow.

Started walking with my sons in the evening, about 2,5 km most nights so far, and it’s getting easier as we go along. Going to up the distance in another week or so, knees and ankle allowing.
Never been a runner (think my last run was a 2,4!).
I would really enjoy nice walks but there is nothing decent nearby. My stationary bike has to suffice for now.

Walk to the fridge, run to the toilet
Whoever lives up on top there is very privileged what a wonderful view!
Tequila FTW
Get enough PT in the salt mine. Get even more steps in when the whips have been freshly soaked in saltwater.

Our suburb is awesome! We are surrounded on three sides by cliffs and gorges.... there is only one road in and out of the suburb so it's very safe because we have our own security and dedicated rangers! So walking around the suburb is awesome!
Never been to SA but a big cricket fan and when i'm keeping fit watching the cricket from my armchair when ever England are touring SA the views that can be seen beyond the various cricket grounds are stunning.

Ive started taking walking seriously. I believe if you are too heavy for your knees it is not good to jump into jogging. So I am walking a few kms a day.
4 years back one holiday in bloubergstrand, cape town we visited the in laws and on christmas day we decided to go and braai at the beach. Ended up playing some touch rugby on the sand.....5 min later i was flat on my back and it felt like someone stabbed me through the back straight into both lungs! The pain was hectic!
Since then i have become more active walking around 4km a day and now recently have started cycling 6km in the afternoon raising my heart rate to around 140/150bpm at a speed of 30km/h without any issues!
I still want to get back into jogging as i used to jog 10km/15km/30km races since i was 14 but now my knees are a bit fragile lol

A car's engine can only do an amount of km's before wear and tear will shut it down.
Your heart is the same. Its just good for a certain amount of beats then it will shut down from wear and tear. So try not no give it more beats than neccesary.
Like in cars where a Merc will last more beats than a Tata, your genes may also determine how many beats you have, how quickly you use them up, is up to you

Best thing about my Orbitrek (or treadmill or exercise bike ) is that when I get tired, I'm already at home

Yeah agreed!
WTH?
A car's engine doesn't get stronger by driving it. It just wears down. A muscle (the heart is one giant muscle) gets stronger from exercise. Muscles get weaker from not exercising. I agree to not overdo it, but you can exercise your whole life long and not wear it out. Just keep it fit and it will last you a hundred years or more.
Your heart needs no exercise, it works 24/7 from when you still in the womb. Exercise does not make it stronger it enlarge it. Overweight people’s hearts work harder and they get enlarge hearts not live to 100. Same with athletes. The normal guy that eat healthy and do nothing, lives the longest
