Is it always about the best? Have you ever heard about "just half an hour of exercise a day"?

  I think the trick is making it into a habit/addiction. Plus--everyone is physically different. I'm about forty pounds over weight. At this point, I honestly don't know what fat, and muscle. And don't care. I briskly walk for 30-45 minutes nightly. I have a route that includes a hill. I do sweat. I figure I'm carrying around a sack of flour, so I don't need to push it too hard. When I get home, my depression lifts. I drink less. I'm less anxious. I definetly use that brisk walk as a a drug. If your fat, like myself, you don't need to go all out. Your legs are most likely stronger than skinny people--from carrying around that sack of potatoes. Oh yea, my dad was an electrician. He definetly got exercise at work. It was only when he retired did he need to do a little bit of exercise. He didn't. He just drank. He died too early. My laboring point is you don't need to exercise to extremes in order to feel a bit better, lower blood glocose, and lower blood pressure. A moderately fat guy can be healthy. Doctors just look at you physically, and make generalizations. Kinda--like the rest of the world!
