Got my 7 minutes in. See you next week!

This was on the front page of yahoo today.

The bare minimum amount of exercise you need to stay healthy (it's less than you think!) - Healthy Living on Shine

I know the article is strictly talking about diabetes, but you know people are just going to skim over it and take it the wrong way.

I just had to post it. I can't wait until I'm in the gym next and I see somebody hop on the treadmill for 30 seconds and then leave. "But Yahoo says that's all I need". lol

Seven minutes? But I wanna be ripped now!:icon_cry2

 

[EyeNeyE**]

the definition for staying healthy being avoiding diabetes... that's setting the bar pretty low.

I love it when fat people say they're healthy just because they haven't had a heart attack yet.

The daily recommended amount of exercise has gone down over the years. It used to be 1 hour a day, now I see it being 30 minutes a day.

It's pretty sad that recommended exercise nowadays was basically just a way of life back in the day. I mean fuck, I've heard people talk about their exercise program as being 30 minutes of walking 3 times a week. I walk more than that every day just to get around.

If that's 7 minutes' worth tabata rounds of 14lb sledgehammering, I fully agree.

I think that if you don't exercise and then try to sprint for seven minutes, you will die of a heart attack long before you develop diatbetis.

i highly doubt someone that doesn't exercise could sprint for 7 minutes, even in 10 second intervals. they would easily pass out first

agreed. My 7 min workouts could probably kill a normal man, no he'd probably pass out before.

One word (lol): 20-rep-squats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is very sad that people even put a number on length of workouts. I bet a fat person wrote that article.

 

[bloosteak]

try sprinting for the greater amount of 7 minutes

 

[Derek McConnell]

Not saying I agree with the whole 7 minutes shtick. But I think people on this forum forget not everyone in the world wants to be an athelete/competitive fighter. Walking 30 minutes a day 3 times a week is pretty decent for an old fella looking to keep his ticker kicking. There is a difference between being a machine and being healthy.

 

[cookie123]

7 minutes? looks like im gonna have to increase my workouts by like...hmm, umm..carry the 8 drop the 0..um. like 6 and a half minutes.

What's truly sad is how much money would be saved from waste if even 70% of the US did this.

LOL Yea man...I'm no exercise monster. I workout 2 hours and 5 minutes a week but I would say between work school and travelling to my girlfriends I must walk an average of 1 hour a day. Who counts that as exercise?

So basically big cities would have zero diabetes were it not for the invention of the elevator.
