Your pedometer experiment has shown that you don't move about as much as you think, but your job's still very tiring. I expect that's because there's a lot of standing up and moving stuff around. <BR/>People often suggest that I must get lots of exercise in my job - I'm a plumber- but it's not really the case. Certainly it's tiring, but I actually move about comparatively little. Much of the weariness is caused by the awkward positions which I have to get into to work, and the thought that if I don't fix this thing then no-one else will, and the customer will be without heating/water/loo or whatever.<BR/>No, if we want proper exercise we need to seek it out I'm afraid. I too dislike gyms greatly, and as for jogging - forget it. The only solution for me is sport. A good game of football or cricket is far preferable to any of that mindless stationary running or cycling in a sweaty gym. A bike ride is good too, but there is always the "It's raining" excuse, and I don't actually think that ambling along at cycling is particularly effective aerobically.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, this didn't turn out like a comment, more like a letter. I'm sure you'll know what to do with it though.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes<BR/><BR/>PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
