[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7649971, member: 58197"] If by "exercise" you mean "grimly and methodically hoicking iron bars up and down, then running in place for half an hour," then yes, this is certainly going to be true. But that's a very narrow definition of exercise. Imagine going out with some of your gamer buddies, putting on armor, and sword-fighting with padded sticks. Does that sound like fun? If so, congratulations! You enjoy exercise. Forget the YMCA, the SCA is where you'll get your workout. Do you like dancing? Take dance classes. Do you love martial arts movies? Join a dojo. Learn to ride a horse. Climb mountains. Do awesome stuff. Not only will you get in better shape, but you'll have fun and you'll be learning things. We geeks may not love exercise, but almost all of us love to learn, so find a way to engage your brain as well as your body and you'll have all the motivation you need. But whatever you do, for the love of Gygax, don't think of it as "exercise." Think of it as "a fun awesome thing I love doing and want to do all the time." The exercise is just a perk. (I should add that for some people, lifting weights is like this. There are folks for whom weight training is exciting and fun, and that's great! If you can get into it, more power to you. But if it leaves you cold, find something else. Don't let exercise be a drag. Life's too short.) [/QUOTE]
