What do you guys do....

softball · 01-12-2010

same thing I said in the other thread. Get out and be active. I live near mountains, so four times a week, rain or shine I walk for two to three hours sometimes longer. When the weather gets a little more like winter, I snow shoe up mountains. I sleep better. I stay thinner. My back doesn't hurt like it did. I can actually relax. I am convinced its the only way. You develop an addiction.
Here is the downside. Its not an overnight fix. It takes a minimum of a year to really feel the benefit and you don't get the addiction and full benefit for another few years.
I hate exercise in a gym watching cnn and breathing all that recycled air in a frenetic atmosphere. Personally getting outside works for me. But whatever works for you. You have to enjoy it, or see a path to enjoyment, or you won't do it. Start out slow, because trying to hard will just put you off it. I have seen too many old people who are inactive and ride around in scooters and such. But I have also seen ninety year olds up a mountain in snow shoes, the picture of health. These outdoor guys are nearly all Europeans who have had a lifetime of this. Its the way I want to be when I get that old.
This comes with a money back guarantee. It works.
