Or those guys picking up trash on the beach.

I guess that's what the deal was, when we were hunters/gatherers.

There are all kinds of tricks for building exercise into your life.

Some people in NYC get off the train one stop early, so build in some walking to their commute.

Some watch their cable series shows while they're on the exercycle (me

Some have physical jobs, where they walk a lot of lift and carry things.

I don't where I'm going with this. Just thinking out loud.

Cheers mate!
Me an example of good practice...well that's a new one!

It's the only way I can do it. I can't abide gyms with their sweaty, recycled air....I worked in one in my youth. I also can't bring myself to pay for an indoor space to do something that I can do outside for free.

I'm lucky in that I live in a country where using a bicycle as my daily transport is easily achievable; even if at times it's a wee bit skeery on dual carriage-ways and/or busy roads.

Being out in the fresh air is vital for me; Often, making sure I don't put music, a book or the radio on my ipod. I like the meditative nature of exercise in silence and in the fresh air. I also like to pray...to a god of my own understanding...which can make the experience quite 'spiritual'...I know that's not for everyone but it works for me.

I'm going to miss cycling anywhere today because I'm off to a dykey wedding and will be hither & thither all day and dancing at the céilidh tonight if there's any puff left in the old poof's lungs
