Why exercise???

tlp8rb

1. If walking/cycling is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water and is fat.
3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.
4. A tortoise does not run, does nothing, yet lives for 450 years.
Now, tell me again why I should exercise!

The oldest tortoise on record lived to 188 years old, not 450. They have about the same lifespan as humans. Just an FYI.

Yessss! I exercise for my cocktails and snacks. It's the best motiviation ever, since I really hate exercise (except for my Zumba class!).

My grandpa actually survived a heart attack solely because he had been a mail carrier and had walked so much.

1. My postman is a lot fitter and healthier than me; while he's not immortal, he stands a good chance of living longer than someone who lives a sedentary lifestyle.
2. If you ate as much fish as a whale does, you'd be fat
3. A rabbit may only live 15 years, but you know the expression "at it like bunnies" - those 15 years are about 1,000 sex years for humans.
4. A tortoise heaves a huge great shell around with him all the time. Proof indeed that weight training is good for you! :bigsmile:

(And this really shouldn't be in this forum, there's a separate place for jokes btw)

4. A tortoise does not run, does nothing, yet lives for 450 years.

That's just 'cause it takes him 2 days to get from the couch to the fridge, and by then he's too exhausted to eat. :}

I'm sorry. I think this was in poor taste. I am usually the funny one. I am usually the one who will walk the fine line for a laugh. But I certainly would not go to an AA forum and ask, why stop drinking? I would not walk into the Oncology department of the hospital and say, why chemo? I would not walk Some people who have five or ten lbs to lose may find this humorous. Now (I speak for myself) but it seems to me that someone who is morbidly obese or super morbidly obese has their life hanging in the balance. This is no joking matter. Sometimes I see jokes that are funny and I laugh. But a joke that basically implies it is hopeless in a forum where people look for advice, support, and motivation is just a waste of time. Did you know that the clinical term for super morbid obesity is "malignant obesity". Because your prognosis is death.

Why exercise:

1. It can save your life
2. reduces stress
3. combats chronic disease
3. Increases speed & amount of weight loss
4. Improves your mood (happy endorphins)
5. Increases energy
6. Increases likelihood of more restful sleep
7. Increases oxygen & circulation for better breathing & a healthier heart
8. Increases labido, as well as the flexability to act on it. (more interesting)
9. Increases strength
10. Can be a fun activity depending on the exercise, how you do it, and who you do it with.

Oh yeah.... and did I forget to say it can save your life. I hate to be a party pooper. I want to reiterate that I am not speaking for anyone else, this is my opinion. I really do have a sense of humor. But there is a time and a place for everything. This is not the place to mock the process that many of us need because our lives depend on it.

Granted it's in the wrong forum, but seriously? There is nothing mocking, attacking, condescending, rude, or ignorant about the OP. It's Friday afternoon, loosen up a little. If you hated to be a party pooper you really would have just rolled your eyes and moved on without posting.

Everyday I worry when my GF will realize she's too hot for me. Until then, I'm going to train like there is no tomorrow!

It's not up to you if someone should roll their eyes and move on. The fact that I am a person with an opinion who shared it does not make me a party pooper. It absolutely is mocking. It absolutely is in the wrong place. Your profile pic shows that you clearly do not have the same health concerns and a large number of people using this website. And congratulations, you look fantastic. But because you do not have the same issues, you are not in a position to judge. If it was not offensive, I would not have posted. Even you admitted it is in the wrong fourm. I don't have to loosen up just because it is Friday afternoon. My weight and health issues follow me every day of the week. Others have commented that we are not turtles or rabbits as well. Others felt the need to defend. Therefore it was offensive. I am so glad to see that you had a laugh at everyone else's expense. I will not bother to read any further responses. I do not have the time for this ignorance that you have displayed.

does anyone have a picture of a caterpillar doing it with a french fry?

I exercise so that I don't have a muffin top, though they are pretty tasty
