My friend, who works out,
sent me an article
on the secret strength exercises
a celebrity does to stay fit,
and while I suppose
lateral raises and squats,
curls and lunges,
are all good to do,
it seemed to me
the celebrity’s real health secret
is just being rich.
@plaguepoems don't forget ventilation! rich people actually make sure the places they frequent have proper ventilation!
@plaguepoems
Work out advice consisting of "just three hours a day" of this or that workout makes me wonder who has that kind of time.
@dougiec3 @plaguepoems Don't you have three hours a day? Just do it on the commute! And your lunch break! /s
*sigh*
@dougiec3 @plaguepoems I never learned to drive and am fortunate to live in a neighborhood where I can walk to most of the paces I need to go (groceries, libraries, a few restaurants and shops) or use transit. I'm retired, but for +/- 40 years I commuted by transit.
Four blocks to the nearest bus stop. I walk to & from the grocery two or three times a week and carry purchases home. I go out almost every day, unless the weather is terrible (or, very rarely, I'm sick).

@dougiec3 @plaguepoems I go on nature walks with the Parks Department and a couple of local groups, and I volunteer in parks and beach clean-ups. Sometimes I take walks on my own, for fun. Or researching for articles for a local non-profit environmental organization.
And, of course, there are chores around the house.
So I'm probably active close to three hours a day. Not in a gym; in my neighborhood.

@plaguepoems that'll work too, 100%
