Bruce just live, exercise is part of normal life. if you don't move enough your body will not work well. even going to the toilet is funtioned by good movement. you must find a good motivation, walking, running, cycling, swimming, I am disabled to certain degree 30%, but I try to move as much as possable, walking in the mountains cycling along side a river. I have to go to hospital next week for a knee replacement in the right side, unyet I spent a week looking after a friends dog, in a high mountain, walking, and enjoying fresh air, since I know what movement I have now, I will have the benifit after my operation. you must not let your muscles fail at an early age, you will be worse as you get older. enjoy life, exercise also gets a control on depresion, which if you are not getting out enough, I would say you are suffering with. you will enlarge most muscles and blood supply, which I am sure you know you need to enlarge****

I agree, something is better than nothing.  I too hate doing repetitive stuff that has no purpose other than losing weight.  I try to have a goal when walking - to the store or something.\n\nMost recently, I have become an annual passholder of an amusement park located within 15 minutes of my home.  A girlfriend and I go about once a week and just walk the park.  We usually get in at least one ride, before it is time to go home at night.  If you don't live where outdoors is accessible year-round, and you enjoy window shopping, mall walking may work for you.

You asked for a fitness guru?\n\nHere I am!\n\nMany people have great intentions on going to the gym this winter, but I bet at least 75% won't even make it in for their free appointment. \n\nThe sad thing is, the same 75% who won't make it in, are the same ones who last year didn't make it to the gym.\n\nSo many people wast money by not using their gym memberships, IT DRIVES ME CRAZY.\n\nIn order to tone your arms, you also need to work the body parts around your arms (shoulders, back, chest, abs, biceps, triceps.) \n\nI would rather you do multi-joint or multi-muscle exercises (exercises that target multiple areas at once) instead of doing isolation exercises. \n\nThe theory behind my method is two fold. \n\n1. You won't have to spend 2 hours in the gym to "hit" every area, instead you could spend 30-45 minutes. \n\nBy cutting back on time you are more likely to look forward to going to the gym as opposed to dreading the gym visit.\n\n2. You are more likely to burn more fat, which will allow you to see more of your toned muscles.\n\nMultijoint exercises will burn more calories in a lesser amount of time than isolation exercises do.\n\n\nIf you don't believe me:\n\nProve me wrong. \n\nSpend 6 weeks doing isolation\n\nthen \n\nspend 6 weeks doing multi-joint\n\nI betcha I win.

Not necessarily. The best exercise is the one that you will DO.

I tried something similar.\n\nBasically, there's nothing else for you to do but workout and become body concious.  It helps people reorganize their life to make diet and exercise a priority in your life.\n\nThis training is not for everyone, I'd only recommend it to people who cannot be motivated and are always failing their fitness plans.

It's a waste of time!            \n                                   \nI agree with the person above me.↑

If you don't use it, it is.  You have to like weight-lifting type exercises.\nI love mine.

are you burning fat or building muscle?\n\nIt depends on what you are doing.  It sounds very good for building muscle..not the best for burning fat.\n\nIt is a tough workout none the less!!  Keep it up!

You're a dumb*ss.\n\nI walk my dog daily.  Walking on it's own is not a waste of time, but you won't necessarily lose weight doing it.  Just as they have shown that those that jog are actually screwing up their joints with little more benefits than walking.  Hell, I know a 300 lb guy that runs marathons.  \n\nAlso, when I walk my dog I wear my heart rate monitor.  My heart rate goes up.  Amazing how moving around does that, eh?\n\nNow, if you are talking about people that take a leisurely stroll, they probably aren't doing themselves much good.  But, some of us try to walk as fast as we can.\n\nI wish i lived in the same area as you.  I'd be sure to walk right in front of you every time!

It's really important that you find something you LIKE doing, or you won't stick to it.  If you don't like exercising in front of people, for example, then you won't like a gym.  If you like walking, then ramp up your walking speed, and go for regular walks. \n\nIt can be motivation if you pay for something, like if you sign up for a dance class, then you feel compelled to attend all the classes because you paid for them.  \n\nIt really helps if you have someone else to be accountable to, like a walking or swimming buddy, because then you can encourage each other not to quit.

A good form of exercise is swimming(the joints are cushioned in the water and it works muscles you are probably not used to using) Look to see if the fitness place has a pool.

if you use more calories in the day than you eat you wil lose weight. so if you are having sex that raises your heart rate then you are using calories. i dont think this should be the only form of exercise-be nice if it could be tho-hehe.

Okay I'll be honest. I used to play DDR in high school, it was kind of the cool thing to do. I played it for fun and was completely unaware of it's weight loss benefits. I was eating burritos and chimichangas at school everyday and for some reason I was only 104 lbs at 5'2".  Then I stopped playing DDR and didn't understand why I started gaining weight because I hate to exercise also. Now I know why I gained all the weight.\n\nSo by all means, DDR is a great cardio exercise. If you like it, even better!

Not to be gross or anything but it just gets everything moving, if you know what I mean. Its partly why its reconmended to exercise a little if you having bad cramps or are constipated. At any rate it's probably nothing to worry about...after all better out then in
