Yup, I really missed getting my butt kicked regularly
I tend to go right to pain - without having to wait for the second day - but I'm always ready to be surprised.
Just last month, the American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine published joint guidelines for physical activity and health. They suggested that 30 minutes of moderate physical activity five days a week is necessary to "promote and maintain health." What they didn't say, though, was that more physical activity will lead us to lose weight. Indeed, the best they could say about the relationship between fat and exercise was this: "It is reasonable to assume that persons with relatively high daily energy expenditures would be less likely to gain weight over time, compared with those who have low energy expenditures. So far, data to support this hypothesis are not particularly compelling." In other words, despite half a century of efforts to prove otherwise, scientists still can't say that exercise will help keep off the pounds.
Thank you, Noddy.
So how is everyone doing?
It's Thanksgiving weekend here, and the feasting starts today. Oh boy. Have mercy on me.
That's another good thing about working out hard regularly: it seems to curb my gluttony. I'll feast; but my brain doesn't forget what it is doing. And my body seems to reject too much 'junk' at this point, again.
I'm baaaack. The good me.
