Workin' Out Ari!

[Huckleman2000]

Um, this is really bad, but I've been walking regularly for the last few days, and that's pretty damn good since I'm in the midst of a real live depressive episode.

anyways, when you feel good about it all Ari, another glimpse of that workin' out bod of yours would be oh-so-welcome!

What's bad? This is good!

Suggestion: Walk really fast. (Not necessarily "dork walking" as Dave Barry put it , but fast enough to get your blood flowing.) After a week or two of that, kick it up to a really slow jog for a spell - like slower than you could walk, even. After a couple weeks of that, do just the really slow jog, for 30-35 minutes 3-4 times a week. That's it - you never need to do more. This is enough to put you on the fitness track for life. If you gradually increase the pace a bit that's fine, but optional. (You probably will increase it a little bit, almost automatically, though. It's hard to run really slow - but be sure to do just that for the first several weeks.)

I think I meant 'bad' to mean 'weak', especially in comparison to the other workouts in the thread. You're right, though, some exercise is better than none, and it has started to help. I've lost about 8 pounds!
