I don't think I do enough exercise

I do very little exercise - apart from walking to and from school, and sometimes (very rarely) playing netball twice a week, I don't do anything! However - its about a mile each way to school, so that's 2 miles daily...does this sound really unhealthy? I don't really have the time (or the money!) to go the gym regularly, and jogging, when it's this cold at the moment, really doesn't sound appealing! I eat pretty well, no junk food and lots of veggies...so I'm not overweight, could probably lose a few pounds though...do I sound really unhealthy?

You sound fine to me! 2 Miles a day is pretty good going, much more than most people, and seeing as you eat well, you cant be that bad. If you really feel the need to lose a few more pounds though, just do some push ups etc. around the house every night, it helps :smile:

sorry but i don't buy the cold thing. if someone paid you a million quid to jog for a month outside then i'm sure you would. just wear lots of layers.
Sounds not too bad to me. AS suggested if you are worried just do a little routine of some sit-ups and push ups in the morning and evening.

Are you joking or what?

I walk about 25 steps a day, and i eat a load of crap - i think ive had a pizza every day for lunch for the last month. Im not fat tho but i will start getting fat soon. The reason for this is becuase im a college dropout bum (3rd college year) and i have no job, im on the dole, all i do is drink and smoke weed (not so much now - dole is crap money) and im waiting til sept to go to uni.

Now who looks unhealthy?
You.

Thats more than I do! Well, I do walk to uni five days a week, half an hour each way so I guess thats OK, but Im a lazy gal at heart...as long as you eat well, etc etc what you're doing is ab.fine :smile:

Well I used to do quite a bit more exercise - admittedly I'm walking more now I changed schools, but I used to play more sports and go to the gym...and I have put on loads of weight since now and last year :frown::frown: Grr I don't like being as slim as I used to be!

Man, I must sound so arrogant and pathetic! :smile:

I think you sound fine to me. you do much more than alot of people I know! Gentle exercise is better than no exercise at all although jogging is good for you and the weather being cold is not an excuse. Just do 10mins warm up in the house and then go outside for 20mins jog. You'll heat up pretty quickly after a few mins!

If you really don't want to brave the cold, then I guess you can get an aerobics DVD. I got the Carmen Electra one, its really good work out! plus you can see carmen elecctra sweat, wheeze and struggle with some of the moves teehee!!:p:
