... Running is bad on the knees/legs but it does work up enough cardio for the heart. ...
Well...you have to take it on an individual basis since one of the most common ailments associated w/running is "Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome" or commonly known as "runner's knee" where in certain cases, running causes , among other things, cartilage and bone degredation (in addition to knee pain, limited mobility and that yucky "crunching" sound). This is due to the mistracking of the patella (knee cap) which is excacerbated by running.
Mistracking is caused by genetics (being flat footed), improper or lack of excersice (causing uneven development of your quad muscles), or injury. This can be remedied by physical therapy, proper footwear, knee braces or in extreme cases, surgery.
But the bottomline is, running can be more harmful than beneficial in certain cases. But I agree that barring the above exception, running (or some comparable cardio activity) is a necessity.
*Squeak!*

I don't know about other gyms but I signed up with Lucille Roberts last year, they advertised $5 down, $25 a month, no contract & then I get there you have to sign a contract for 1 or 2 yrs but 30 day guarentee if your not happy you can void the contract, they promised all kinds of classes & sessions with personal trainers & when that didn't happen I asked to void the contract & my credit card was charged $250.
My suggestion is to go somewhere with a friend who's already signed up so they can recommend a good gym.

i bought a good membership off craigslist. theres always a bunch of quitters there trying to pawn off their membership.
they usually eat the start up fee and maybe pay u like a months worth if you take over a contract and then there are others that have a more favoravle monthly rate that will cost a bit more depending on the membership type etc.

after i joined i started going everyday for like a month then i pulled back to 3-4 times a week. i lost a good amount of weight. on like a tanita scale im like 16% fat but who knows how accurate that is. im still flabby but whatever besides from back pain and knee pain that flare up i feel like im healthly and in decent shape
I am lean, but am strong as an ox.
Of course I rather be a little weaker but in better "look wise" shape.
I lift weights about 3 times a week, but kickbox and wrestle 3 days a week also.
That was before I got hurt wrestling last week, so for the next few months I will be working out approximately 0 days a week.

I can't work out at a gym due to some back & shoulder injury a few years back (I can't even lift light weights, especially over shoulder level,but I do still give massages infrequently.. I can't even swing a flogger that well or give a hard spanking anymore ( that's where the paddle comes in handy.) I do yank the cranka couple times a day. I should pay myself each time I cum & then use that money to go out & monger. Some health insurance wellness programs pay for gym memberships, massage( I wonder if the amps would give a receipty, since some pay for massage. I can just imagine asking my MD to write me an RX with HE 3X a week)) and smoking cessation programs. I have put on about 15 pounds and huff & puff to get my shoes on.I'm also 58 with cholesterol & B/P problems (for which I take meds). That article didn't mention how many calories you burn during a handjob did it? ONething I agree with is while I'mrocking and rolling, I seem to forget about my back pain, and I've been told that is from endorphin release. now somebody should do a study on how many calories we burn in different positions. Surely we've got to burn more callories in mish or doggie than we do in CGor just laying back & getting some incredible head. Just my 2 cents

I am on a diabetic 1600 cal a day diet I run a tread mill everyday for 20 mins and 3x a week I go to cardic rehab 20 min tread mill 10 min elpitic and 10 min on the bike as well as weight training in 3 months I have only lost 5 lbs but at least i don't get out of breath anymore...
From what the nurse tells me it has a lot to do with metabiloism (sp) and the fact that I don't eat the way I should which is 6 meals a day which is described in my diet plan I was never a breakfast eater but I am told the key to weight lose is eating breakfast to get the metabilism going. By the way I started eating breakfast a month ago and that is when I started losing the weight.

Good point -
I eat essentially the same thing every day -
low fat yogurt and banana for breakfast
salad with chicken or turkey with olive oil and balsamic dressing for lunch
turkey burger (no bun) or grilled chicken with spinach or broccoli and fruit for desert
if there's a late night snack it's usually another low fat yogurt.
Don't get me wrong - I have lost weight, and I feel great - just the damn obliques won't whip into shape for me.
