    Very interesting. I usually stay between the 60-90 minute mark. On really beautiful days, maybe even more. I really enjoy the ability to move and I think I have a pretty slow metabolism anyway.

    Thanks for sharing!

    ukaryote--interesting article and food for thought.

    I'm more like Charlie and do 45-60 minutes 4-5 days a week. It's hard for me to walk outside in because of allergies and asthma, but I do my stretching, hula hoop, dancing, and various DVDs in the basement. It is a walk-out, so I can open the curtains and see beautiful scenery while I'm exercising. In a few weeks I'll have my motorized treadmill functioning again, too (or should I say DH will have it running again).

    A collection of cells. For an extreme version, look up "sea salp"

    prokaryote taken too?

    Like like like the video. Hate hate hate the accompanying 'music'. Creators of science documentaries need to hire some serious musicians.
