why? he's right, for weight loss, exercise isn't necessary.
I completely disagree. Exercise is necessary to keep your body functioning properly, increase your metabolism, and, believe it or not, it burns calories!!!
This I do not disagree with but it is not necessary fr weight loss which is the basis for this forum - diet and weight loss.
This is NOT a "diet" or "weight loss" forum.
Sorry. Just going by the title of the forum. Doesn't seem like that run calmed you down any. Maybe you didn't have time for it.
You are the one who needs to run
I do. I really do. I just hate running. And it's so damn hilly here.
It's hilly here too. Treadmills aren't hilly unless you want them to be. Today I did a hilly mile of walking my dog and three hilly miles on a treadmill via inclines. I don't run, though, at least not yet. I'll get there one day.-1 -
Guys. If you hate running, it's probably not for you. People whose bodies are built for running pretty much know it. They like running.
Badminton and dancing have been discussed, there are many many many other options
Which sport are you made for? Take our 60-second test

What sport are you built for?

Tell that to my peroneal tendon and plantar fascia
Seriously, people have different proportions, builds, angles, strengths, weaknesses. No reason to make yourself do something that's hateful, and I think, if you really hate some particular sport*, it's probably because it doesn't make biomechanical sense for you (
*vs. hating all sports, that's different0 -
Exercise is NOT only walking and running! Walking is the easiest for me, but since I went to a WONDERFUL PT for six weeks, I've learned a lot about other exercises as well. Ten minutes at a time six times a day = one hour of exercise!-1

Well, if he's doing what he can to improve his health, and right now that's diet, that's good. It would be better if he did other stuff, obviously, but people can do what they can do0 -

I could do "other stuff". I'm young and virile however it bores me. I can get done what I want to get done without doing the other stuff.

Lol no one accused you of not being young or virile lolol I meant can, given your lifestyle and priorities. So you don't want to work out, you're making progress towards your goals, all to the good 0 -

I don't see fitness as a total requirement to lose weight. As long as you eat at a deficit you will lose... Sure, exercise is definitely a great thing to add for your overall well being, but not required for success.
And BTW, Main Forums >> General Diet And Weight Loss Help doesn't 100% mean that this forum is for fitness... Sure the site's Myfitnesspal, just not this section of the forum...
I just support anyone's attempt to lose weight. Some can't physically exercise due to health conditions or disability, but that doesn't mean they can't attempt to do so in a healthy manner.0 -
Oh my gosh! This is so true!!!
My Netflix binging has decreased significantly since I've started working out and worked on eating healthy.
Which in turn has cut back on my food binging. Well whatdya know!!!! And every time someone says that to me, I just think, no, it's your choice.0 -

Funny how that happens, isn't it?-1 -

People get busy and tired, sometimes the last thing we WANT to do is excersize at the end of a long full day, sometimes we want to take that last free hour and make that phone call, play a game, or lounge on the couch.
It truley is rude of you to make an assumption about a popultaion.
I think the point would have came across better by encouraging people to move more durring their day.....such as parking further away, taking brisk walks around the office when they can, going for walk or to the gym on the weekends, etc......??????
Not everyone wants to go gladiator style on a workout routine nor is there a need to, there is only a need to move more for general health and fitness. Not all of us are striving to be hard bodies, we are not all 20 here ya know.
I'm hardly a gladiator. Just saying that people who can't believe they are not losing weight can never find time to exercise, weigh their food, but have plenty of time to sit in front of the television eating pizza and beer and then complain that they are not losing weight. If you are determined to do it, you will find a way. If you are not, you will find excuses.-1 -

I've done none in two months, I mean none, and have lost 20 pounds. Exorcise is for getting fit and making your body parts better so you don't die before you are supposed to but this is a weight loss forum and not a getting fit forum.
Did you intentionally spell "exercise" as "exorcise"? And this is a FITNESS forum, which includes losing extra weight, exercising, and working toward and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
You seem pissed. Go for a run and calm down.
This is why I flagged him.
Doing that isn't really worth a warning on your account is it?
If you flag and don't win you get a warning? Wow how fun is that?0 -
Ok I have a serious question - do people really work out while watching tv? Not like, they just have the tv on to keep themselves from jumping off the treadmill. But I can't imagine doing squats while I'm watching my favourite show (if I had one, I don't right now, but say I did). That to me would be relax time.0
