Lifestyle differences revisited

[Guest guest]

Hi Eldred,

I saw this article and thought of your recent post about weight loss on a

vacation with lots of walking:

Is Sitting a Lethal Activity?

tting & st=cse

Even though I agree with the comments that the loss you saw was over too small a

time scale to be a real loss of fat, this article points out the importance of

finding ways to incorporate movement into our lives when we have desk jobs (and

long commutes....)

I had heard of that(or a similar) study - thanks for posting! I work on

computers all day, then pretty much do the same thing at home. I have a better

chance of being active when the weather finally warms up in Michigan. I want to

start playing tennis again, and I need to get on my bike to train for my charity

ride. I just have to break the inertia, though.
