How often do you exercise?

[dennishoddy]

My job and hobby's provide all the workout needed.
The OK heart assn. came to our plant for a health day seminar, and said that a person needs to walk 10,000 steps a day to maintain good heart health. They gave us some pedometers so we could see how many we were getting. The average was 18,000 steps per day for our group. All of it in steel toed boots, carrying tool bags, or parts, up and down ladders and stairs.
Get in a lot of walking while hunting, and a little running at USPSA matches on weekends.

That is really a healthier situation than for those of us who have to build in specific exercise because otherwise we would be just sitting on our fourth point-of-contact all day. Your situation means you are guaranteed to get the necessary exercise as a part of your regular routine - we have to tack it on.

I bowl 2 to 3 times a week.

I walk from the parking lot to the plant and back again at quiting time. I also take 20 steps from my casa to my truck every morning. What more could I need?

Bowling is great - in what other sport can you drink beer, and eat pizza all while actively participating in the actual sporting event?

Does getting out of bed in the morning count?

Actually, as soon as work picks back up, I'll get all the excercise I can handle.

Haven't figured out how to do an "actual" work out since the kiddo was born.. I do a shortened version of P90X and my usual running 1-3 times a week has turned into power-walking with a backpack & 17 pound baby.

Prepper I am not. Exercise I get at the gym 1-5 days a week

I had an office job for awhile, and did see a need to cut way down on the food intake. My hobby's helped a lot, but I took the stairs instead of the elevator, etc. Its something that is controllable if one really tries.

I'm of the opinion fast foods, and not taking a healthy sack lunch to work is also a major problem in todays world. When we cook at home there is always a fourth portion for my wife and I to take to work. Since I hunt and fish a lot, and garden, we don't buy much processed food.

Processed food....another problem with weight gain, and bad health in my opinion.

Agree 100%! I'd rather eat glass than fast food! I'd bet I haven't had 5 soda pops in 5 years. I'm 52 now and have been the same size for the past 30 years.
