Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Posted May 28, 2006 Hi Dan, Sounds like you lead a pretty active life. I like your take on the subject of exercise. That's not quite my angle though, if I can explain briefly. I go to a gym because that is the most convenient way to get a good workout, with weights, and aerobics on machines. I always felt so much better after a workout. And I was getting strong. I made good progress and had a sense of acconmplishment. Also, the weather here is cold and wet a lot of the time, and dark in the winter. This is what prevents me from sticking to a routine outside. For a while I went on a lot of bike rides. Sometimes I think about taking up jogging when I feel up to it. But I'd have to pack it in every winter. I'm not sure what else I can do to work out a routine. Exercise that gets the heart pumping is good and I don't do a lot of that unless I'm at the gym. Using my bike is still a possibility, as long as there's some place to go in safety, with my little girl on the back. But yes, as I've said, I'm going to quit the gym. It will pay for the GOL multi. There must be other ways to get exercise, but there's no other way to get a multi other than buying it I almost would put " getting my exercise " up there with taking my (vitamin) pills, really! I believed it was integral to a healthy lifestyle. I still do. It's hard to find ways to get it every day when we have long distances to go in cars, or we have to work it into work schedules, or looking after children or whatever. Paleo diet I can do. Paleo exercise is truly a thing of the past, though I suppose I ought to be grateful I don't have to run away from any tigers etc. Quote
