As hackermom said above, "exercise" doesn't have to be some boring gym workout; cycling or running to work is exercise too, and makes for a far more awesome commute (if you live within 10 miles of work).
- eru 16y agoYes. Also I find short and intensive freeweight exercise to be much more bearable than endless cardio.

- eru 16y agoI don't know. I exercise for gaining strength, not for burning energy. Look up High Intensity Interval Training to see how short high-intensity bursts compare to long low-intensity efforts (i.e. cardio).
