    Crossfit 5-6 times a week. Instruct at a boot camp (outdoor fitness program at a park) for 3-4 times a week.

    At school I run XC and play intramural basketball, at home I sit on my ass in air conditioning. And I take the dog for walks, but that's about it.

    I'm all about cardio. I don't really care about looking ripped or having much muscle tone, really. As long as I'm fit and healthy, I'm good.

    I play a lot of basketball (or at least try to). Usually I'll play ball a good 2-3 times during the week. I'm out there for roughly 2 1/2 hours, so I do break a good sweat.

    Also, I've been swimming a lot on the weekends.

    I cut back on soda complete.
    I try not to eat anything with high sugar content.

    Still can't shake the beer, though.

    Cardio is easier for me, as long as I'm in a nice air-conditioned room. My legs have always been in pretty good shape.

    Weight-training is the hard part for me, I always get weak and can't do very many pushups or situps, or curls with free weights.

    Any suggestions for what I should be doing to gradually improve upper-body strength?

    I'm gonna be completely honost here. I used to exercise on average three times a week. That was more than 2 years ago when I was in school and had too much free time.

    But now a days I do not exercise at all. Only running up the stairs to get to my room. I just don't have enough time. Besides GYM memberships are a rip off.

    You gotta start off slow. Before I would max out on 13-15 pushups, now I do 35-40 easily. Try the pull-up machine at the gym also but with weight support. You'll get stronger slowly but surely.

    No excuses. You don't need a gym to get in shape. Go jogging outside, go swimming... many, many options.

    Started running again a month ago. Have gone from 2 days a week running 100 yards and being completely out of breath to 4 days a week running non-stop for 2 miles at 11:00 a mile, walking another mile and then running another 2 miles at 12:00 minutes a mile. Trying to build up to a fairly fast 5K and go from there.

    Will start doing weight training also soon.

    Gotta add that having the Nike Plus thing on my shoes / iPod is a BIG factor in keeping me motivated.

    6 months ago I was the 3rd option.

    Now I'm the 2nd option.

    Planning to get back to the 3rd option, but I have bigger fish to fry at the moment.
