Ok. So I don't know how this will play out, but I think it has potential.

I've recently read that one of the best ways to keep in shape is to talk about fitness with your peers. You can get lots of good tips, ideas for new exercises, insight into vices, diet recommendations, the whole kitten-kaboodle.

Starting with your personal fitness/diet plan is a pretty good base. I might as well go first.

1. Diet - That's my problem. I love eating. And I'm not talking salad. I'm talking pizza, fried chicken, ice cream. All those bad things. I also drink alcohol like a fish and can easily take 10 beers a night, maybe 15.

I do stick to only eating three meals a day, although they are lunch, dinner, late night snack. I hear the last one is especially bad because afterwards you just go to sleep and your body doesn't convert that food into anything good.

No soda. This is hard, but I try to stay away from soda and sweet drinks as much as possible. I drink lots of water, but I often wonder if too much water (i drink at least 15 glasses a day) might be part of the reason that I can eat so much, and drink so much booze. Does that kind of water consumption stretch out the stomach?

2. Exercise- Mixed bag here. I try to do 100 pushups everyday. I also recently started doing squats. Crunches are my bane, as my back absolutley hates them and I never see that much improvement. I also hate running (and living in a European city with small streets and idiot drivers also dissuades that), so I don't really have too many exercises to burn off fat.

Can anyone recommend a feasible workout plan that doesn't include weights? Cardio exercises besides running especially would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
