I ran today It was really hot out and I sweat off 2 pounds. Why'd I do it? Exercise makes you healthier, you eat less, you lose weight (or gain muscle ), it gives you a longer life with reduced health risks, AND ---> increases your sex drive and sexual pleasure.

But those aren't the reasons why I did it (besides the sex thing). Exercise also strengthens the connections between your brain and your body, affecting things like hand eye coordination, which means BETTER GAMING. Working out actually makes you a better gamer by decreasing your reaction time and allowing your mind to think clearer. It's SWEET.

I expect anyone here who calls themself a true gamer to go out and start running right now, or start doing push ups, or jump up and down a lot. The cure to youth obesity is to get kids hooked on games (done), and then tell them that they can increase their Halo 2 level, or their Guild ranking, or their KDR, or Whatever by running at least . . . 5, no 7 miles a day. They'll do it! and they'll enjoy it too.

In three months I want pictures of your washboard abs next to your high scores, your bulging biceps next to your Cal ranking. Get to it!

I'd go running, but the temperature is 97F with 75% humidity. I'll stick to lifting for now.

I'm not exactly the "moving" type.

-Thanks for the story, though.

Intense Exercise is the number one killer of epic storyline fact retention in the brain, as well as a decrease in both time for studying, and attention to studying due to extrenuous physical fatigue.

...

Seriously: I actually found time to get to the gym and run a mile today, I'm going to try to get into the habit daily if i can

I work out for an hour five days a week.

I skateboard. Lots. Every day, almost all day. Does that count? I'm a fairly fit person, btw.

Increasing my sex drive is the last thing I want right now.

I've spent my time practicing golf swing. I'm sloooowly straightening out ball flights.

EDIT: Well not really all day, more like 3-4 hours.

I'm pretty active myself. Used to lift weights on a regular basis (3 to 5 times a week for about 2 hours at a time) but haven't done that in a while. I still bust out 20 to 100 pushups a day (usually 10 or 20 at a time 4 or 5 times a day), and I play tennis 3 to 5 times a week which keeps me active.

You realize sweating doesn't make you lose fat, right?

I sweat off ten pounds when i run.

But i realize that is not fat.

I'm so d*** fat, I'm affecting the tides.

I need to exercise, but until my 10 week old son can sleep through the night, the only thing I desire is SLEEP...

I'm going to continue lifting until the end of August, then I'll start running in September. Taking in the calories for both is just too difficult right now.

Thankfully I'm pretty low weight (about 112 lbs) so I don't need to run to lose weight. However, I really do need to exercise because not only do I have no fat but no muscle either. Plus, my legs are kinda weak so I need to build strength in them again.

As for running? Like I said, my legs are weak so I can't really move that fast. Besides, it's been HOTTER THAN LIVING HELL this past weekend. It was aobut 106 degrees on Saturday!

And running doesn't build muscle either.

You can build muscle by running, but it isn't the ideal way to do so. Running can tear muscle fibers which will cause you to build muscle.

I know sweating doesn't make you lose weight. It was just that it was 90 out and I was soaking wet when I got back. And I know running doesn't build muscle, it makes you leaner.

I play tennis outside. But was 95 degrees for the past 2 days.

And I need to buy some shades.
