Pick up basketball with friends- or really any sport.

I lift 5-6 days a week and throw in some cardio too (I hate cardio).

Scrolling with my computer mouse.

I like running at night when it's cool and the sun isn't beatin' down on my head :) always like shooting hoops, though I can't dribble for the life of me.

Running or walking. The last few years have resulted in more of the the latter than the former. Recently, the doggie has accompanied me on some run/walks but she doesn't stop to sniff near as much as I thought she would. Dang it!

I like my excercising to be done in 5 to 10 minutes tops. In other words, sudden bursts in and out really fast.

My daughter is a real fiend for exercise, she said, "Mom, you should exercise more." I said I hate it. She said, "So do I but I do it anyway." Well, I do walk around my area, not much fun but what the heck. I do it anyway.

Studies show for every hour you exercise you gain one hour of life expectancy. Whatsa point if you spend it sweaty and sore?

I'm assuming you're trying to make a humorous quip, but being overweight increases your chances for Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes and reduces testosterone levels, to name a few. Exercise to the the point of breaking a sweat helps reduce those odds and helps maintain muscle mass as we age. Obesity also raises the health care costs for everyone.

If your doctor gave you permission to exercise for 30 - 60 min. per day, in six months, you'd be impressed with the results, but maybe you already do that.

I would probably say that right now my favorite word is "comeuppance" Especially if you un-naturally favor the plosive consonant.

You are a total aspirator with your unnatural plosive consonants.

Trying to corral the lemurs after they've been into the liquor cabinet is all the exercise I can handle.

Is it ok to put CLP on your snake before you pull it, or are you just supposed to pull it dry?

I could bench press my doctor. He once tried to put a limit of 40 lbs on any lifting I do. I told him ,"Hell, I defecate bigger than that!"

His patients average about 75 years old. I'm the kid in his office

"Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes and reduces testosterone levels"

Three out of four ain't so bad . . . is it?

(FYI . . 5 weeks in, walking daily, 11 pounds lost, 34 to go . . .)

Good on ya, Roe. Somebody needs to research how much quantity/quality of life can be gained by cultivating a sense of humor.

For me--overhead lopping shear thrusts, lateral rake lunges, aerobic shovel scooping and similar endeavors.

So what you're saying is you never give chase?

Some posters only want to shout out of their window and then close it off so no sound can come back in.

I think hubris is his middle name.
