Day 206 - Either everyone is crazy or I am lazy

So we are doing a new thing in group now.  We have to do a sign in sheet that lists how much fruit and veggies you eat (average) how much protein, whether your maintaining, gaining or losing, and how much you exercised for the week.

I was the lowest of everyone - only exercising for a 180 minutes - the next lowest was 240 and everyone else was doing like 500+ minutes.  Seriously?  People are working out seven days a week over an hour a day?    When I was training in swimming I was doing 540 - 640 minutes a week, but that was morning and evening turnout three times a week and swimming six days a week.  That is a lot of exercise people.

When I was walking (training) for the MS walk I did have some heavy weeks (over 500 hours) but that was with 2-3 hour walks.  And I wasn't working.

So TH thinks I am a bit jaded, but I know how much work it is to just do that walking (not aerobic) so doing that much exercise aerobic seems a little out there.    But I figure if they can do it I can too.  Does walking up and down the stairs at the house count?

  1. Walking up & down the stairs in the house counts a lot.

    By the way, I think you meant 500 minutes rather than hours unless Dr. Who has taken over
