The best exercise is climbing
stairs. Climbing stairs for one hour will burn up 1,100
calories. This means, if you climb stairs only five hours a day,
you can eat a horse and still not look like one.
In terms of calories burned, bicycling four miles on a
stationary exercise bike equals one miles of walking. And, of
course, with an exercise bike you don't have to walk back.
Ten minutes of free-style swimming equals one mile of jogging.
And while swimming, you're not nearly as likely to get run over
by a Hummer.
Isometric exercises like pushups and chinups can be dangerous
because they elevate the blood pressure significantly. The best
indication that it's time to stop is a heart attack.
Doing the exact same exercise, men will lose weight faster than
women. This is due to body chemistry, and filing a lawsuit won't
help.
Wearing a sweatsuit while exercising in warm weather will
jeopardize your health. It is a good idea, however, to wear
something.
