- geekchic, on 02/09/2008, -2/+48I'll read it later.
- mysedai, on 02/09/2008, -0/+13That would take too much effort.
- razorsedge555, on 02/09/2008, -0/+10Great ideas. I like watching people fight each other over parking spaces.
- mghwom1, on 02/09/2008, -2/+12They're all really good tips. I wish I wasn't half as lazy as I am.
- brundlefly76, on 02/09/2008, -1/+10Cause its boring compared to the internet.
- inactive, on 02/09/2008, -0/+8My ass is numb
- miles32, on 02/09/2008, -2/+10Not everyone has time for that. I personally have joined a sport (rugby) and its easily 2 hours a day in practice. I know that if I had a job (high school) then rugby would be right out. In addition many gyms are unwelcoming places for new people. Its almost as if one has to be in shape before even going to the gym.
- stark23x, on 02/09/2008, -1/+7That's why I did 2 or 3 day passes at all the local gyms before committing to one. The one I picked is very laid back, mostly adults or families (it;s a kid-friendly place) and there are literally only a handful of gym peacocks. Everyone just looks...normal. Just regular people trying to get in better shape.
I signed a one year contract on my second day there. I've been there for five months and I don't regret it a bit. You just have to search for the one that doesn't make you feel like crap. This generally means stay the hell away from Ballys, Crunch, Golds and most of the chain meatmarkets. - CompIsMyRx, on 02/09/2008, -0/+6I'll get right on implementing these sometime.
- Shaman760, on 02/09/2008, -0/+6At least the headline didn't say "Hack your sedentary lifestyle".
That phrase "Hack (insert activity here) makes me hack up a phlegm ball. - ThePerkins, on 02/09/2008, -1/+6I guess they haven't heard about my thumb muscles or my right forearm.
- inactive, on 02/09/2008, -0/+5Have one
- WarnerK, on 02/09/2008, -0/+4Pretty good advice to aid healthy eating, but like the article said, that alone won't do much other than possibly motivate you to do other active things. I already do most of those things because I have extra energy every day that I like to burn, but it definitely won't be enough in a few years when my metabolism slows down.
- KilGil27, on 02/09/2008, -1/+5A particular concern to office workers is a sedimentary lifestyle...
- Tulleh, on 02/09/2008, -2/+6article could be short-end to "go for a walk"
- TheDelta9, on 02/09/2008, -0/+4some reason i didn't want to read the article, so i didnt.
- The_Dude, on 02/10/2008, -0/+3The problem with gyms is even enthusiastic users eventually get burn out. However, if you can get an obsession going for a while (along with diet) you can build up a nice base of muscle, assuming your built right. I did the whole work out thing 6 months or so prior to getting married. We were going to the Athletic Club which had the added benefit of a steam room which just rules after a nice pump. Anyway, I play in a beer hockey league once a week, which is an awesome all around workout, but the muscle I added during that 6 months of gym workouts is still there, it's just got some fat on top.
Still, if you've got some fat you wanna lose, all the tip s that he suggests about just walking a bit more aren't gonna be enough. You may get somewhat more fit, but you won't lose any appreciable fat. - Niightwitch, on 02/10/2008, -0/+3Excess in everything - moderation is for monks.
- Robert Heinlein - - CommentPoster, on 02/09/2008, -0/+3No thanks, I like my sedentary lifestyle.
- UNL1M1T3D, on 02/09/2008, -1/+4Or the money.
- DCLutz77, on 02/09/2008, -1/+4I love my sedentary lifestyle.
- blast_flame, on 02/09/2008, -0/+3This is a tangent but that phase never made sense to me. Sure somethings may be good in moderation but everything!? Death in moderation? Fascism in moderation?
- Ikulus, on 02/09/2008, -0/+3This extra bit of walking here and there isn't going to do much other than get you in the habit of exercising. People are lazy because exercising is boring.
More accurate title would be "14 Simple Ways to Start Down The Path To Fitness". - GregLoire, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2We do need more people aimlessly wandering around the supermarket.
- crash128, on 02/09/2008, -0/+2Darnit, I'm going to go out for a little walk right now (haven't done so in months). Will let you know...
- skellener, on 02/09/2008, -1/+3I don't think any of this matters if you're still gonna hork down a double bacon cheeseburger, large fries and a large coke everyday. So do everything in the list and stop eating fast/junk food too. Have an apple or carrot once in awhile. It won't kill you.
- soubriquetical, on 02/09/2008, -1/+3awesome tips. doesn't ask you to go out of your way.
- miles32, on 02/09/2008, -0/+2Yeah many sports are fairly expensive for equipment that why I chose rugby. The only pieces of equipment are 20$ shorts some cheap cleats and a mouth guard
- sassyt, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Great tips... and really simple... the trouble is actually doing them!
- loganhid, on 02/09/2008, -0/+2I............
- UNL1M1T3D, on 02/09/2008, -0/+2Yeah, but the only problem with rugby is if I get hurt, I don't have insurance, so I am *****.
- timf, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2Or, to sum it up with one word: move!
- crash128, on 02/09/2008, -0/+2Not bad. Went halfway around the town park. Saw the squirrels, birds, dogs, and occasional person. But I started (again). Tomorrow the whole park (walking, maybe do some warmup).
- miles32, on 02/09/2008, -1/+2Yeah but soccer is for little girls.
- TomK88, on 02/09/2008, -2/+3I'd rather be a fit "little girl" than a fat slob.
- nphase, on 02/09/2008, -1/+215. Get a girlfriend
- bubba9999, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Not all are good tips. I funcking hate people that don't call or email and decide to trapse up to my desk for every little thing they want. I hate you people. Really. The eye rolling starts as soon as I hear your plodding hoofs walk in the door - even before I see you.
- paulcano, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1You need a Hawaii chair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9_amg-Aos4
- known, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Start a Political Party...
- ScottMitchell, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1Or the idling and waiting for someone to slowly walk to their car, load all their ***** in, check their makeup, and back out, when there's several open spots a mere 25 yards ahead.
- RudeTurnip, on 02/09/2008, -1/+2I would say cancel your cable/satellite service and stick to "on demand" programming only...DVDs and video podcasts. When you have total control over your TV, you enjoy it more and watch it less.
- mal1964, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1Or
http://digg.com/educational/Tenderizing_Meat_and_O ... - capiCrimm, on 02/09/2008, -1/+2half as lazy? Why not, 'not lazy'? Perhaps you should put some more effort into your wishing.
- requiem3, on 02/09/2008, -0/+0"Choose active entertainment over passive entertainment: Instead of going for a movie, choose to go play tennis with some friends (or at least bowling). Instead of playing regular video games, play with a Wii. Instead of meeting friends for a cup of coffee, catch up over a sunset walk."
...This whole exercising with the Wii idea has been taken a lot more seriously by some people than I would've anticipated. - claine203, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0looks a bit weird, but it can happen...
- vizualbod, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0MrBabyMan You rocks
- Emma1989, on 05/23/2008, -0/+0Nothing new...
- Dunge, on 02/09/2008, -1/+1That's exactly what I though
- BoneStamp, on 02/09/2008, -2/+2Get off your ass!
- lieven, on 02/09/2008, -3/+2It's crazy people have to be told these kinds of things... You should be able to figure these things out by yourself, no?
