Xuzi Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 A friend of mine posted this YouTube video on her Facebook, and I think it presented a really interesting perspective on exercise. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamakimberly Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 That is pretty much my exercise philosophy. If we are going to a Disney park, I "count" that as my walking for the day as we do not eat junk there and we walk a ton. That's usually one day/week. If we're not doing Disney, I either do 30 minutes on the gazelle in our front room and watch/coach my younger daughter do her tumbling practice (cartwheels, front walkovers, whatever she's working on) while I am doing that- or we go on a bike ride or swim. I am overweight and this approach hasn't helped me lose weight. BUT I feel better physically, and I know it helps me ward off depression. I'm not in it to be an athlete- I'm in it to be healthy and stay alive to see my grandkids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlmiraGulch Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 This is an powerful. No shock value...just simple facts and statistics. I turned 40 this year and I'm neither particularly overweight (some, but not obese), NOR particularly healthy (elevated blood pressure, triglycerides and cholesterol). I intend to do something about it, starting today. Again. Ok, tomorrow, but really....it doesn't have to be much. Anything is better than nothing.

MamaSheep Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks for sharing that. I think I'm beginning to develop a nefarious plot involving showing that at Family Home Evening one of these days quite soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
