How many of you still keep on doing physical exercise?

This is a topic that I take seriously indeed. CPOD has lots of great lessons related to this too; Going to the Gym, Calisthenics, Going on A Diet etc...among my favorite lessons I almost know by heart. Hope your friend is feeling better. And thanks for that healthy vocab !

Exercise? Like getting up every morning to go to work??

I don't owe a car. My walk to work takes only 15 minutes but most times I use a bike, five minutes. Thats all the physical exercise do, and it is fine for me. I've grown increasingly hedonistic in the last couple of years. I don't swim, I don't run, I don't do yoga and I really don't lift weights. My job includes walking in the forest, so it I guess that helps... what else could someone ask for?

Not in my 20's anymore, but in the 30's I try to exercise daily. My plan is to exercise daily until death takes me from this world. Good health to all. Eat ManTou.

哎哟， casie. How would you say: "You hit a soft spot with this this post?" 写这贴你挖出了一张弱点。。。 至少我吃了早饭吃了不少, 可以说没有晕倒的冒险。 吃了 面包，巧克力， 再加上喝了几杯咖啡加新鲜的牛奶。。。

Walking is a great exercise, and living in China will really involve lots of walking (for those with no cars or bikes). But if you want more and have less time, try doing some 30 reps/3 sets of situps and 15pushups/3 sets of situps when you guys wake up. Great for the health and for waking up the 头脑。hehe.

Does facebook poker count as exercise? ;)

Exercise? I think I remember what that is.

And Bazza, you do a great job at encouraging others to "exercise" with you as well, with all the requests you send. Nothing personal and not offense, but sadly the exercise I almost only get is clicking the "Ignore" button from such requests... ha ha (but keep sending the invitations, maybe one day I will turn to the dark side. ;)

But Casie, thanks for the reminder.... even no matter how busy we are, exercise can relieve stress, make us feel better about ourself, and oh yeah, keep us from 晕倒ing. Great words, and you are a great friend (to her, and to us!)

Wow Cassie, what a good friend to carry your friend on your back! I hope she's okay. Good vocab....can you explain 恢复知觉 (come to oneself)? Does that mean to regain awareness after fainting?

Thank you guys, She is okay now!她现在没事了！Ta1 xian4zai4 mei2shi4 le! Calkins, My dictionary shows that 恢复知觉means come around/come to oneself/regain awareness after fainting. 失去知觉shi1qu4 zhi1jue2=to lose consciousness is the opposite phrase for 恢复知觉 知觉zhi1jue2 here means consciousness/sentience/feeling I am not sure is there any difference among those English words, i meant "consciousness, sentience, feeling"

This post is right on time... I'm just getting ready to go for a walk, but was considering procrastinating. With my wedding coming up mid-June, and extra pounds gained from a recent visit to Grandma's, however, there's certainly no time for procrastination! Thanks, Casie! (And I'm glad your friend is okay!)

henning, You have 丰盛的早餐feng1sheng4de zao3can1(I think it is "rich/ sumptuous/abundant breakfast" in English, right?) ^_^ Yes, you have no risk of fainting. Me too! You know if you don't eat breakfast or any other meal, you will fainting due to glycopenia低血糖di1xue4tang2 /hypoglycemia血糖过低xue4tang2 guo4 di1 henning, we say “发帖”in chinese not “写帖”. And i guess you meant "You hit my soft spot with this post". 你的这张帖点到了我的弱点。 :-) Cassie

Bazza, I agree with Rich, and i did ignore a lot requests from facebook, no offensive, i just not in facebook. I just post some pictures of mine and do nothing else. Hey, Bazza, you seems like a lazy guy that not in physical exercise as well as me！LoL^_^ But i do like walking and i often walk quickly and that is good for us! I had a swimming course when i was a sophomore, but i still can not swim yet. The most hard part for me is to hope the breath under the water. I only can do it when i use my fingers to pinch my nose. My PE coach said that it will be funny to see a person swimming with his/her fingers pinch the nose. So i thought i was so stupid at that time!

Thanks a lot, casie! If I think about it, it is not only a soft "点", actually, but something a lot bigger: a soft 肚子。 :)

Cassie, I do usually go swimming regularly but haven't gone over winter, should get back into it again. I can't really a do a front crawl but can do a ok breaststroke. I think the trick is to breath in above the surface, then breathe out underwater mostly out of your mouth but also a little from your nose and that stops you getting water up your nose. I have prescription goggles for swimming as I can't see without my glasses hehe.

If you are out exercising, I suggest not listening to Qing Wen or Movie Madness or Dear Amber while you walk/run/etc. You start to laugh out loud and people give you funny looks. Pretty soon you start to wonder about your sanity. Who laughs while they walk/run? Really, people. :^)

On a more serious note - I'm glad your friend is feeling better, Casie. Thanks for the excellent reminder.

rich, I try don't to do that as much now, I lost one of my friends because of that, I think it was because that, she won't re-add me so I don't know for sure. :(
