May be Churchill had a point

Post by DRSB » Fri Jun 01, 2012 11:26 am

Asked what he did for exercise, Winston Churchill once replied: "Whenever I feel the urge to exercise, I sit down and wait until the urge passes."

"Could exercise actually be bad for some healthy people? A well-known group of researchers, including one who helped write the scientific paper justifying national guidelines that promote exercise for all, say the answer may be a qualified yes."

"... rigorous exercise studies"

Was the exercise rigorous, or the studies? :ask:
God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression. - Gary Larson

I walk from 90 mins to two hours a day but I only feel that good post exercise feeling if at least some of it is up steep hills which get me puffing and my heart thumping. I go out of my way for that!
