"There is one other thing. You must exercise at least an hour every day. Walking is best."
Last month, we exhibited at our largest trade show of the year–at the MGM in Vegas. I ate like a pig for a week. The Grand Buffet. Kobe ribeye at Craftsteak. Sushi. Beer. In N Out Burgers. You name it.
When I came home, I had lost 6 pounds.
We also walked a ton that week, stood in our booth for 8 hours a day, and hauled a lot of stuff during the setup/teardown.
I think people misunderstand what it means to "exercise" (at least in terms of losing weight). You don't have to go to a gym ... just get on your feet and move.
- ghshephard 17y agoAgreed. It's remarkable - My weight has varied between 160 pounds and 210 pounds, and almost has 100% correlation with a single factor - whether I was carpooling or walking into work. Diet, secondary exercise, type of food I'm eating - none of them seem to have anywhere near the causative impact as just simply walking 25-30 minutes into work (and back) each morning. Every morning. Every Day. For months on end. I have friends who mock this, and talk about how much more important it is to get into their peak-heart-rate on their at-home treadmill. That they've actually used maybe a couple dozen times. I don't have a choice - have to walk to work. And Back. 3 1/4 miles a day. Every day. That's almost a marathon a week. :-)
- mannicken 17y agoWalking 3.25 mi in 25-30 minutes? That sounds a bit too fast :) PS. Sorry I'm just in a bad mood and feel the need to be anal.
- blangblang 17y agoI read it to be 3.25 mi total each day and 25-30 minutes each direction making the 3.25 mi tile ~ 1 hour. That seems a reasonable pace to me.
