It is great to read all your posts. There are so many options for getting and staying fit. That is the wonderful thing about VF---we learn about new options all the time.
My fittest was when I did total body weight training with machines and free weights 3 times per week at the gym, and running 3 days per week. It was simple, straight-forward, but worked well. Now, I am interested in so many types of workouts that I mix it up much more. I am singing a concert in 5 weeks and need to get into high gear with my fitness training. |

Like many have mentioned already, what helps to improve on my relative healthy and capable body is consistency, variety, challenge without hurt, and adequate rest times/periods. Adequate rest being the main thing that helps me see the change.
The things I cannot seem to go without are fascial stretching & massage and some resistance (weighted, suspension etc.) training. I do have a tendency to lose weight rapidly, look too thin and not keep excellent form when doing metabolic routines regularly, so I definitely have learned to limit those usually, even though they seem most popular. |

In answer to the OP, I agree it's consistency which gets me my best results. Several years ago I was walking daily for 45 to 60 minutes 7 days a week with some MR or KCM for weights and CF and I got in the best shape, lean and defined. Of course, changing my eating habits was key. |
