[quote=Jazzman][quote=CA renter]What’s the city planning argument?[/quote]
It’s just a reference to the video posted that shows alternative means of transportation ie more walker-friendly. While any exercise is good, 20 minutes on a treadmill only burns off an apple. For exercise alone to be effective in weight management, you need to workout hard for at least 2 hours everyday.[/quote]
Thanks for the clarification, Jazzman. I thought it was a new term regarding food production or something. 🙂
Agree, if you want to lose weight, diet is the #1 way to do it. Exercise mostly tones things up and makes everything look better. While it burns calories, most people I know end up eating more if they exercise a lot to “make up” for the burned calories and to “feed” their muscles. It’s almost counterproductive in some cases as far as weight loss goes, IMHO.
Not to say that exercising shouldn’t be done, just that people shouldn’t rely on it to lose weight, and they shouldn’t expect to be able to eat a lot more just because they are exercising.
