Personally, I 'm into weight training, cardio, and yoga. I'm interested in hearing about other people's training philosophys and practices.

In my case I like to train intensely, using high intensity training for weights (HIT) and a mix on interval training and heart rate zone for cardio. This doesn't mean I train the same way all the time or am a slave to a particular idea. HIT is not the full answer either, as volume training and other tricks are good for a refreshing switch. I also beleive your weight training should be based on squats, dead lifts, and big compound movements.
As for yoga , I do Iyengar which employs static holds for several miuntes. I'm pretty sure it has improved my body awareness and balance.
With regards to diet , I'm a grazer, I eat 5-6 small meals per day and strive to avoid simple sugars and saturated fats. Beyond that I eat alot of protein and monitor carbs, but not too tightly as I develop binge inducing craving after 3 days.

Anyway, I want to discuss your ideas on training and diet, what ever tickles your fancy.

And I want hear about the struggle!! About successes and difficulties!!
