how to reverse the ill affects of a sedentary lifestyle

[Guest guest]

Walking just 12 miles per week has been found to reverse the ill

effects of a sedentary lifestyle. That is easy to get if you park far

away from doors of malls. Or heck, if you just go to the mall and walk.

I *was* intending to say " No, I can't " but Jo shamed me.

A conditioned heart is more efficient and beats slower, thereby taking

longer to reach X-billion beats!

Dang your good, and you didn't even have to resort to medical jargon.

I can help with that one Shirley! Before I exercised regularly, my

standing heart rate was around 79 beats per minute. (This was also

before the DS.) After the DS, my standing heart rate averaged about

73 beats per minute. Now that I exercise regularly my standing

heart rate averages 69 beats per minute. I may be TEMPORARILY

upping my heart rate during exercise, but the rest of the day it

beats much more slowly than it would if I didn't exercise so I'm

actually saving beats overall. Does that help?

Yup! Good example! You know, I know all this stuff. I'm a college

graduate, too all the health and biology classes. Even took a LOGIC

class. I guess I'm just looking for that slegehammer, you know?
