Knew people who ran every day. Thought they were nuts. Pounding their ankles, knees and hips on pavement day after day. My skinny/fat ass laughed at them.

Fast forward through almost 30 years of being a desk jockey in corporate america contributed to my sloth as I climbed to 212 pounds at my worst.

Its been about 15 months since starting light and about 4 months into moderate exercise.

A knee and a hip have gone from inconveniences to soreness to stiff and achy. My running friends from the 80s and 90s have stopped running. One has bone on bone in one knee.

I look and feel better (other than the knee and hip). BP and cholesterol both down. But at the cost of knee and hip issues? Maybe replacements?

Is exercise stupid?

It's

They are so bored with life in general and the current gash they are banging they gotta go to the gym and try and impress strange gash...

If I didn't have to scrounge thru trash and dumpsters every day to survive...I might have time for exercise?

Tank wants to smell every fkn pole and hydrant, not to mention patches of grass... so brisk is not happening until the last mile of the walk when his mind goes off of other dog smells to his food bowl.

We have become a bunch of fat fuqs due to our lifestyles . MOVE!

he suggested alternate forms of exercise, like walking, swimming and bicycling...

so yes...the wrong kind of exercise is stupid...

After I had my 2nd shoulder surgery, my orthopedic surgeon recommended swimming as part of the rehab process. Initial efforts left me pretty winded even though I was in good tennis shape. Should have kept up the 3 times a week sessions, I was kinda decent after 3 months.

Walking also but it has to be brisk or hilly climbs ...flat walking is worthless...

Biking is great too...just put on strobe lights as not to be run over by FOSSILS WITH WRAP AROUND SUNGLASSES WEARING WHITE VINYL VELCRO STRAPPED SHOES PURCHASED FROM THE BACK OF THE SUNDAY PAPER PARADE RAG/MAG.

I exercise daily after 5pm... 12 Oz. Curls and walking to the Fridge for another one.. kinda do a sprint to the pisser sometimes as well... at my age it seems more frequent then not!!! 🇨🇮

See? Now this is exercise.

I think his wife may disagree.

Moving = Good. Simple.
