Obese men in the U.S. don’t do much better at 3.6 hours. I exercise vigorously for about 50 hours a year, and many folks easily beat that. I exercise for longevity, weight management, better quality of life, and so I can keep up with the lads in my son’s Boy Scout troop.
Not the best exercise if you’re markedly obese
myfoxny.com has the story on exercise habits of obese women, based on a recent article in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. A quote:
What kind of lives are the most inactive people living? “I think they’re living the typical life. They drive their children to school, they sit at a desk all day long, they may play some video games and they go to sleep,” Archer said.
He forgot about TV.
Without a doubt, it’s hard to exercise if you’re markedly obese. Here’s how.
