Re. economic factors making exercising impossible or difficult: I actually can afford a gym membership, yet I choose not to have one, and I still find ways to exercise. Doing push-ups or sit-ups in your own home costs nothing. There are websites where you can learn all kinds of simple exercises you can do for free with things you already have, like chairs or the edge of a counter, or with no equipment at all. People who have the free time to spend hours on the internet have time to walk five blocks to the Walgreens instead of driving.

It's not that hard to stay in shape. It doesn't have to be expensive, either.

have time to walk five blocks to the Walgreens instead of driving.

I've never understood this particular part of the "just exercise!!!" mantra. I have no driver's license, so I walk everywhere and always have. I'm almost guaranteed to walk at least a mile every day by sheer virtue of having to do so. No matter how much I walk, it's never put a dent in how out of shape I am.

i bet that you *would* notice the difference, though, if you stopped doing it :)

[identity profile] ncc-gqmf.livejournal.com 2011-09-18 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Not really? I did have to stop for a few weeks due to an injury and I gained, like, two pounds. The worst that happened was that I had to get used to walking again.

Yeah, your lacking perspective. or maybe you are one of the freaks that can have a certain level of fitness just by breathing. But I'm betting if you were the type that drove everywhere, you'd be markedly less fit then you are presently, just with the walking. our bodies are designed to do some activity every day,a nd the ones who dont' even do that tend to have problems.

It takes more then a few weeks for real atrophy to happen. (Don't test it)

I was like this in high school (I walked about 3 miles a day to and from school) but a slow, slow steady simmer isn't really going to burn any weight. Once I started actually pushing myself to move faster/get my heart rate going is when the walking started showing any marked difference. If you're sweating you're losing weight. If your body is already accustomed to a certain level of exertion, it's not going to do as much.

It's great that your neighborhood is so safe. Not everybody's is. And even bad stuff happens to people in "safe" neighborhoods. Economic factors that make exercise difficult do not begin and end with the cost of a gym membership.

Or sometimes it's just not physically possible to walk there, like if you lived where I used to, and the closest Wal-Mart was only about a half hour walk, but that meant walking alongside a four lane road with no sidewalks or anything. :/

(Also, your icon is always so hypnotic. XD)

[identity profile] megalomaniageek.livejournal.com 2011-09-18 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, in some places walking is more possible than others, and in some places it's more typical than others. Hence the issue with judgmental generalizations.
And thank you!

[identity profile] insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com 2011-09-18 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, bullshit. Not to your neighborhood, maybe it is shit, I can't judge you there. But the way yous ay "safe" neighborhoods makes me think the danger is more in your head. And none of that stops you from doing jumping jacks.

[identity profile] megalomaniageek.livejournal.com 2011-09-18 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
yous ay "safe" neighborhoods makes me think the danger is more in your head.

Probably. Oh wait, I live in what I thought was supposed to be a "safe" neighborhood and almost got kidnapped walking home as a teenager. There have been a number of car break-ins too. So I don't feel so safe walking around by myself anymore, which sucks because I actually like walking as a form of exercise and it's hard to get other people to go with me.
Maybe it is just all my anxiety. I don't care. My point still stands that not all neighborhoods are safe to walk everywhere, and that it's in part tied to how affluent the area is and therefore to economic factors that the comment I replied to was dismissing.

I never said anything about it stopping you from doing jumping jacks. I never refuted any of the part of the comment I was replying to that talked about exercises you can improvise in the home, because pretty much any able-bodied person can probably do that, although people with downstairs neighbors might get complaints. Ultimately it becomes a matter of whether a person wants to go through the hassle, and keeps wanting to go through the hassle every day (or five times a week or whatever).

It's awesome that you live in a place where things are actually within walking distance. I live in one of the big cities on the U.S. West Coast, where nothing is. Target is a 10 minute drive. Walgreens is a 10 minute drive. The grocery store is a 10-15 minute drive. And none of them are anywhere near the others. Work is a 40 minute drive. School is an hour drive. I'd love to walk everywhere. When I used to live in downtown Minneapolis, I did. Now, I can't anywhere, because nothing is close enough to bother.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-18 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Very much this. I'm in a semi-rural area, and to walk to the nearest town would take me at least 3 hours, and even once I'm there, it's another 5 hour walk to a town that has anything more than a petrol station and a newsagent.
I would love to jump on my bike and ride in, but the high logging truck traffic on the narrow roads makes me nervous as all shit.

That's basically the reason that I dream of living within a 20 minute walk of a suburb of our capital city though. Shame about the insane rental prices =(

This reminds me of when I lived at my last apartment complex. It was in a small town, and the best place to walk without being run over, that I had time to get to of a morning (I was really tired of an evening to try to walk before it got dark outside and there were no streetlights in the subdivision) was a neighboring subdivision. For a couple of years one of the guys let me cut through his yard to get to the street - if I couldn't do this, I'd have to drive my car out onto the highway and down to the entrance to the subdivision (this was okay in the summer months, but in cold weather, I'd have to run the car for 10 minutes to thaw it out so I could see out the windows, or scrape off snow, or combination of the two). Well, the guy eventually asked me to stop cutting through his yard because a bunch of people were doing it and ruining his perfect lawn. My walking dropped off drastically after that because of the thawing/driving/parking situation.

You're assuming it's not + or - 40 degrees outside. It routinely does both where I live.

jesus christ, where the hell do you live?

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2011-09-18 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
How do I get to the Walgreen's when the only thing between me and it is a five-lane state highway, no sidewalks, and trudging through people's private front lawns to do it?

Answer me, genius.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-18 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
So you can't walk. What's stopping your fat ass from doing sit-ups, push ups, or yoga? Or, god, any number of physical activities. There are as many forms of physical activity as there are grains of sand in the desert. Just because one type doesn't work for you doesn't mean that there isn't one that won't work.

The fact that you'd rather sit around and snivel about it is pretty telling.

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2011-09-18 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
My "fat ass?" So much for the wasted efforts of commenters in this thread to point out all sizes of people can be out of shape. Please don't inflict your brand of concern trolling on anyone you actually know IRL, or make it clear at least that them being thin and attractive is all you want. I'm sure they'll feel properly ashamed their wide loads offend your aesthethics and twist their lives around to try to make you feel less embarrassed about being spotted in public talking to them.

I don't stay friends with people such as yourself who just sit around whining all day about things and never bother to find solutions.
