Excercise is a wonderful thing. Really, it is.

I started out walking around a big carport everyday for ten laps (1/2) mile. I then inheritted a treadmill & walked....20 minutes, 30....faster...faster...35 minutes...broke the treadmill.

Bought a new one.

But to each their own, as long as it's an activity they enjoy.

Moving is about so much more than weight loss. It's about getting up and LIVING. The benifits outweigh the fact that you may not lose as much or as quickly as you want.

It's a great article, but I'd rather focus on the author's woes about doing undesirable things for that activity.

The concept of being active in general, I feel is lost with what was written.

Am I off? Anybody disagree?
