Yes, that's what we call evolution.

 

There is a persistent myth that you have to do a lot of exercise to gain any sort of benefit. But you can maintain fitness and flexibility but doing a series of stretches once and doing 5 minutes (of intense exercise eg a warm up followed by sprinting) once a week.

Doing 10000 steps a day or whatever will not maintain fitness if you are not doing any sort of intense exercise.

 

I exercise/lift 3 times a week and jog every other day except Sunday. Feels good man. Not looking to gain a bunch of mass or anything. I do it to keep in shape, general well being and stress release. It also helps with singing & screaming, that could get pretty demanding.

 

I've never understood how somebody could sit down all day, it isn't even comfortable. I lay down.

 

Indeed a true mystery. I'm an old fuck but my back is as good as new

@phloopy Waiting for the next Gong??

 

I was always brought up in the belief, you never sit if you can stand. Never walk if you can run, and never cycle if you can drive..

Wait, no, that's wrong!!

 

My current job has me in front of a computer 8 hours a day but I've started cycling to and from work and swimming at lunch time.

 

An inactive lifestyle is a killer which has given me all types of health problems from bad backs to leg pain. So now I go for a long walk at least once every three days. I also walk up and down the fourteen flights of stairs in my block. Use it or lose it.

 

Yes when you're in your 50's and your mum buys you an exercise bike ..you know it been too long

 

Wait, so we become CATHODE RAY TV SETS?!

 

Not at all, if you do it like this

 

a good walk makes a great break.

 

I wish i could be sitting on the computer for a long time without hurting my eyes and my back. When my body says "stop", i'm not arguing with myself, i just give a break

 

get a standing desk?

 

Get a rowing machine (aka a wife).

 

OMG
