I'm banging on the same point here, but...over the last couple of days I have been reading about something that is potentially a game-changer in how we view fitness. NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis). As researchers study this concept and evaluate the biofeedback it is becoming more clear that increased activity throughout the day is more important than a structured and timed workout. This is not to say that working out will not provide great benefits, but living more actively and partaking in more "non-exercise" activities is vital to a healthy lifestyle. For people looking to lose fat, maintain a healthy weight, improve longevity and mobility, and feel more energetic, people who increased their daily NEAT output saw better results than those who worked out for an hour but were relatively sedentary throughout the rest of the day. There are more scientific articles available online, but this one provides a good overview of NEAT... http://breakingmuscle.com/health-medicine/its-not-your-metabolism-its-your-neat-thats-stopping-your-fat-loss

When in doubt, whip it out.

Good job P&P! You enjoyed the dancing sausage last month...I do my best to deliver.

Resistance is futile.

1 Helluva job sticks. I don't think the chicks were ready for the numbers game blitzkrieg that happened here today.

The three days a week I do strength training are the only days I don't exercise outside when the weather permits. The combination of the great outdoors and exercise are beneficial on so many levels. I typically enjoy my time outside so much I lose track of time and forget that I am "exercising."

NOPE!

+10 I see what you did there P&P.

Tickets in hand, I'm going to see Sturgill live tonight. It's been a while since I've had such high expectations for a concert.

I quit cold turkey. Took the time to educate myself about the addiction and I began to realize that every "reason" I gave for smoking was merely an attempt to rationalize my addiction. Once you know that smoking is an exercise in futility that will most likely end up killing you, there is really no going back. In spite of this newfound knowledge, during the first couple of weeks of my quit I turned to willpower and a willingness to fight the addiction. Then one day it happened. I realized there was nothing to fight, accepted the fact that I am a nicotine addict, stopped wrestling it and in turn stopped giving it strength. It was at that moment I realized quitting smoking is a simple matter of never putting a cigarette in my mouth and lighting it on fire. S-I-M-P-L-E!

NOPE!

Good question.
