I think lots of people have lost basic common sense when it comes to fitness and health. I got used to my colleagues complaining about how much I ate, somehow I deserved to be fat and yet wasn't. Now, I hate walking with a passion, can't stand it. After ten years of living in London I'd also got rather bored of taking the tube everywhere. So I cycled everywhere: my daily commute, going out socialising, visiting friends, going to get the shopping and so on. So I was getting - as a minimum - 30 minutes of healthy exercise 5 days a week. At the weekend, sometimes I'd go for a cycle, but pretty much well only if I was going to meet someone, so again it was pretty short, maybe 10 minutes in each direction. Then a colleague started to copy me. Guess what? Taking exercise - no matter if it's only 20 minutes - that often really works. Stop going to the gym for hours at a time, just spend 20 minutes working out somewhere every day and you'll be able to eat what you want and make other people jealous ;-)
