The New York Times reports that ‘Half of UK Men Would Swap Sex For a 50 Inch TV‘. Excuse me, really? Guys what’s up? Not only is good sex healthy, it can promote the closeness and intimacy that is an essential part of any good marriage. I have to say though, I loved this quote, "A quarter of people said they would give up smoking, with roughly the same proportion willing to give up chocolate."
If you’re a true beginner to exercise or have not exercised in decades, starting a health and fitness program is a daunting task. Here is a plan that will get you started on the right track for the long term. For me it’s about keeping fitness in everything you do such as doing crunches during TV ads, using the stairs at work, and walking the dog nightly. If you can’t walk up four flights of stairs without serious breathing exertion, I continue you have an exercise problem.
I was talking to a friend about my 30 year old Trek bicycle hanging in the garage. I used to be an avid bicyclist. Lately I have not done any strenuous exercise. Maybe this post is more for me than it is for you. Happy Friday!

I’m with you on this..well, the exercise and activity part anyway. :-) The more I do, the better I feel…exercise and etc. When I do not go out or hit the treadmill..I will start feleing mopey and down. Doesn’t matter what form of exercise..just, as the Nike commercials say, do it.
Happy Friday! I recently had a chance to experience Middle Eastern Dance and I can tell you I felt invigorated moving some muscles I had not previously been aware existed. Exercise should be an integral part of everyone’s life it should be fun most of all, I recommend Belly Dancing to everyone, thanks for posting Hugs Catherine
Yes gandalfe. Keeping active definately makes you feel better. Although A 50" tv is quite tempting. Must be the UK bit in me.. LOL.
Carole, my exercise regeme is at the about 60% level. I want to be at the 80% level and still have fun doing stuff.
Catherine, I’m guessing I’ll never add belly dancing to my program. But I do luv watching a good belly dancer. ;o)
Spence, say it isn’t so!
I used to be a personal trainer – and then when we moved here, I gave it up…but I also quit the gym in favor of yoga, pilates, and my "pilates machine" that has pully and stretch things on it. We walk everyday too – up inclines on the mountain. But recently, I’ve been using a visitor pass to go to the gym to do resistance training and I forgot how much I like it …so I probably will end up buying longer term pass!
Well, I *looked* at my bicycle today. ;o)
It was too cold today to ride at 60 degrees. ;o)
Once I was very fit … then I lost myself
Now I dance with Iman and she gets me
out for walks and runs…
I have become too accepting :)
