Every little bit helps.And personally, I'd say that the point of working out is not to "become slim". Really, "becoming a little less overweight" is already very very good. But the main reason is that being really out of shape sucks, big time. Sure, in your early 20s, you can get by on sheer youth, but at some point, your lack of any physical activity at all is going to catch up to you. If you're as unwise as me (and it sounds like you are, no offense), then you'll ignore all this. And at some point, maybe at 30 or 35, some part of you will give out and you will rue the lack of exercises. And then, instead of having to go to the gym for a few hours a week, you will need physical therapy to keep you from being in constant pain every instant due to a bad back that doesn't have enough muscle mass to support your weight. At that point, going to the gym 2-3 hours a week will not seem like a big deal compared to 45 minutes of exercises you have to do every day (plus visits to the PT).Also, being able to climb 2 flights of stairs without getting winded is great !Anyway, what I'm saying is that I've been there and I think you're making a mistake you'll pay dearly for later. Feel free to ignore it - I would have. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />It doesn't have to be wasted time. If you take the bus there, you can read RPG books as you go. Also, you could read, watch tv, listen to music OR ALL THREE !!!! while you're pedaling on the aerobics bike.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Personally, I was surprised as to how quickly an hour of exercise passes.Unlike, say, american Football, the balls are attached to the players.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> *pheasants*</blockquote>
