What is exercise, health promotion? You hear about it all time, TV,
magazines, radio, books, yet, why aren't more people exercising? You
might be able to say more people are exercising, and I would reply who
are those people. There appears to be people that are more motivated
than others, especially about their health, or maybe people that just
have more time, more energy, more incentive, to exercise. That's fine
but what about the people who aren't? There isn't really a lot one
can do about certain diseases, certain MOIs, but there is a lot a
person can do to minimize the affects of others. You know, I exercise,
on any bad day I can drop and do fifty push ups, run two miles in
sixteen minutes, easy, I'm sure there are people that can do more but
I'm also sure that there are a lot of people who can't. I'm not
going to go off and, because there are enough people already doing
that, health promotion is everywhere, books, TV, radio. I am going to
keep this short. I was thinking, a lot of people don't have the time
or energy, incentive, to exercise--you every try to exercise after
coming off a shift.

A ) There should be a national non-profit organization that promotes
standards of health that every citizen should be able to meet. I
don't think there is anything like that, i.e., a thirty-seven year
old should weigh this much and be able to meet these physical
standards: forty push-ups in two minutes, and run a mile in eight
minutes. This is just a guide, to let people know, where they should be
at, so they can make a goal for themselves, so they can know whether
they are really in shape or just 'showing up to the gym.'

B ) And start introducing programs, incentive programs in the
workplace. Give someone an hour every other day, and pay them for it,
to exercise, to meet whatever goal, they set for themselves: be able to
do seventy push ups in two minutes, run a mile in six minutes. Heck,
many people are just exhausted after coming home from work to exercise,
seems like businesses would encourage their people, people that spend
the better part of their day, working, to exercise, to take care of
their health. You don't need a lot space, calisthenics, and don't
need a track, when any old block can do. You might get a lot people
who'll malinger, won't take advantage of the hour, but you might
have some people who will.


C ) And yeah, an memento mori, on her ankle; heck, go.

What is exercise; what is health? You hear about it all time, TV,


magazines, radio, books, yet, why aren't more people exercising? You
might be able to say more people are exercising, and I would reply who

are those people. There appears to be people that are, motivated more
than others, especially about their health, or maybe they're only


people that just have more time, more energy, more incentive, to

exercise. That's fine for those who can, they live longer, live
healthier and better lives, but what about the people who can't?
There isn't really a lot one can do about certain diseases, MOI, but
there is a lot a person can do to minimize the affects, the
development, of others. You take care of your body, your body is going
to take care of you. You know, I exercise, I just like to, on any old


day I can drop and do fifty push ups, run two miles in sixteen minutes,
easy, I'm sure there are people that can do more but I'm also sure that
there are a lot of people who can't. I'm not going to go off and

lecture, because there are already enough people doing that, health
promotion is everywhere, books, TV, radio, I am going to write about
how more people can get involved, which I think a lot aren't, and by
the time they get around to it, it's too late. I was thinking earlier
today, a lot of people don't have the time or energy, incentive, to
exercise--you every try to exercise after coming off a shift-and
something needs to be done about that.


Here are two ideas to have people exercise more.


A ) This one answers one of my question, what is exercise. Is it only
re sports, how fast one can run, how much one can lift, push? Is it
just a loose term use to sell shoes, shorts, an image? I think exercise
is wielding one's body towards a goal. There should be a national


non-profit organization that promotes standards of health that every
citizen should be able to meet. I don't think there is anything like

that, i.e., walking around the mall is not enough, you need to be able
to raise you heart rate seventy percent or more for ten minutes or so;
someone your age should be able to run, run a mile in eight minutes; or
do fifty sit-up, or so many push-ups. This is just a guide, to let


people know, where they should be at, so they can make a goal for

themselves, so they can know whether they are really in shape or just,
pretending they are.


B ) And, second, start introducing programs, incentive programs in the
workplace. I think there should be a department re health and exercise
in every business, not just some poster in the break room. Real easy,
give someone an hour every other day, three times a week, and pay them


for it, to exercise, to meet whatever goal, they set for themselves: be
able to do seventy push ups in two minutes, run a mile in six minutes.
Heck, many people are just exhausted after coming home from work to

exercise, then they have to cook, or help their kid with homework or
something, seems like businesses would encourage their people, people


that spend the better part of their day, working, to exercise, to take
care of their health. You don't need a lot space, calisthenics, and
don't need a track, when any old block can do. You might get a lot
people who'll malinger, won't take advantage of the hour, but you might

have some people who won't. Health, is something you want to keep,
work to keep.

live longer, have healthier and better lives, but what about the people
who can't? There seems to be so many windows of opportunity to the
point where it's believed that if someone doesn't exercise, then
that's their choice; there are twenty-four hours in a day; people can
do what they want. People who don't exercise don't have healthier
and better lives. There isn't really a lot one can do about certain


diseases, MOI, but there is a lot a person can do to minimize the
affects, the development, of others. You take care of your body, your
body is going to take care of you. You know, I exercise, I just like

to, on any blue day I can drop and do fifty push ups, run two miles in


sixteen minutes, easy, I'm sure there are people that can do more but
I'm also sure that there are a lot of people who can't. I'm not going
to go off and lecture, because there are already enough people doing

thinking today, a lot of people, just don't have the time or energy,
incentive, to exercise--you ever try to exercise after coming off a
shift--and something needs to be done about that.


Here are two ideas to have people exercise more.


A ) This one answers one of my question. Exercise. Is it only re
sports, how fast one can run, how much one can lift, push? It does
matter, or use to; that simple; hunt, fight, live, die; arms. Is it
just a loose term use to sell shoes, shorts, an image? Everybody needs
shoes, shorts, an image. I think exercise is wielding one's body
towards a goal; the goal, health, or whatever someone wants. There
should be something around that promotes standards of health that every
citizen should be able to meet; doesn't matter whether people meet
them or not. I don't think there is anything like that, or not really
circulating, i.e., 'someone your age, should be able to, run two
miles in fifteen minutes.' This is just a guide, to let people know,


where they should be at, so they can make a goal for themselves, so
they can know whether they are really in shape or just, pretending they

are. Exercise, can be really simple, someone wanting to be able to run
two miles in thirteen minutes. Yeah, with standards you might sound,
discrimination, doesn't have to be, there should be something
concrete to what exercise is, isn't, to what health is, isn't, it
just walking around the mall in sweats, or a picture of someone on a
magazine, or something you only hear about when you get sick, or is it,
doing, being able to do, fifty sit-ups in two minutes? I don't this
should be too much trouble; we already use standards, education, to
name a few, seems there should be something available for someone to do
something about their health.


B ) And, second, start introducing programs, incentive programs in the

workplace, for people to have an opportunity to exercise. I think there


should be a department re health and exercise in every business, not
just some poster in the break room. Real easy, give someone an hour
every other day, three times a week, and pay them for it, to exercise,
to meet whatever goal, they set for themselves: be able to do seventy
push ups in two minutes, run a mile in six minutes. Heck, many people

are just exhausted after coming home from work to exercise, seems like


businesses would encourage their people, people that spend the better
part of their day, working, to exercise, to take care of their health.
You don't need a lot space, calisthenics, and don't need a track, when
any old block can do. You might get a lot people who'll malinger, won't

take advantage of the hour, may not be interested in exercising, they
do have to, but you might have some people who won't, who will
exercise, and just need the opportunity to do so. What is health,


something you want to keep, work to keep.

aren't more people participating? You might be able to say more people

are, and I would reply, why aren't more.

Yes, there are people exercising; people that are motivated more, and
there are people who aren't motivated at all. That's fine for those who
can, are, they'll live longer, have healthier and better lives, but
what about the people who aren't? They don't have healthier lives.
You might be able to contribute the difference to whether one exercises
or not, to differences in people, or, differences in, time, energy,
incentives. There are differences in people, their personalities,
intelligence, motivation. And there are differences in the amount of
time or energy people have to exercise--you ever try to get the
energy to exercise after a long day at work. There seems to be so many


windows of opportunity to the point where it's believed that if someone
doesn't exercise, then that's their choice; there are twenty-four hours
in a day; people can do what they want.

There isn't really a lot one can do about certain illnesses, MOI, but


there is a lot a person can do to minimize the affects, the

development, of others. I don't think they're getting the
opportunity really improve their health. I think one reason why more
people aren't exercising is because of not having enough time or
energy. I'm not going to go off and lecture, because there are already


enough people doing that, health promotion is everywhere, books, TV,
radio, I am going to write about, about ideas to get more people
involved, which I think a lot aren't, and by the time they get around
to it, it's too late.

A ) This one answers one of my question. What is exercise. Is it only
re sports, how fast someone can run, how much one can lift, push? It
does matter, or use to; that simple; hunt, a fight, life and death;
arms. Is it just a loose term, something you hear about after illness;
a term use to sell shoes, shorts, an image? Everybody needs shoes,
shorts, an image. I think exercise is getting too abstract; it's not
concrete, or concrete enough. You know, I exercise, I just like to, on


any blue day I can drop and do fifty push ups, run two miles in sixteen
minutes, easy, I'm sure there are people that can do more but I'm also

sure that there are a lot of people who can't. That's I guess, what
exercise means to me, some might say it's the product of my exercise;
they might be the same thing, heck. There should be something around


that promotes standards of health that every citizen should be able to
meet; doesn't matter whether people meet them or not. I don't think
there is anything like that, or not really circulating, i.e., 'someone

your age, should be able to, run two miles in fifteen minutes, do fifty
sit-ups in three minutes.' This is just a post, to let people know,


where they should be at, so they can make a goal for themselves, so
they can know whether they are really in shape or just, pretending they

are. Yeah, with standards you might sound, discrimination, doesn't have


to be, there should be something concrete to what exercise is, isn't,
to what health is, isn't, is it just walking around the mall in sweats,
or a picture of someone on a magazine, or something you only hear about

after someone else gets sick, or is it, doing, being able to do, fifty


sit-ups in two minutes? I don't this should be too much trouble; we

already use standards, they're everywhere, education, medicare,
policy, to name a few, seems there should be something available, on
one piece of paper, for someone to do something about their health.
Exercise, needs to stop becoming more and more abstract, can be really
simple, real, exercise, or exercising, is being able to run two miles
in thirteen minutes.


B ) And, second, start introducing programs, incentive programs in the

workplace, for people to have an opportunity to exercise. You can agree
or disagree to whether people have enough time, or have enough energy,
but you can't disagree that exercising helps people. I think there


should be a department re health and exercise in every business, not

just some poster in the break room, or giving someone a 'sickday' q
month. Real easy, boss, give someone an hour every other day, three


times a week, and pay them for it, to exercise, to meet whatever goal,
they set for themselves: be able to do seventy push ups in two minutes,
run a mile in six minutes. Heck, many people are just exhausted after

advantage of the hour, may not be interested in exercising, they don't
have to, but you might have some people who won't malinger, who will
exercise, and just need the opportunity to do so.

What is health, someone you want to keep, hold? Heck, meet.

A ) This one answers one of my question. What is exercise; what is
health, really. Is one a verb, another a state; are they the same, one

not existing without the other? Is it only re sports, how fast someone


can run, how much one can lift, push? It does matter, or use to; that
simple; hunt, a fight, life and death; arms. Is it just a loose term,
something you hear about after illness; a term use to sell shoes,
shorts, an image? Everybody needs shoes, shorts, an image, heck. I
think exercise and health are getting too abstract; they're not
concrete, or concrete enough. I don't like thinking exercise, health,

can be whatever someone wants them to be, not that there is anything
wrong with that, but there has to be some honesty about. You know, I


exercise, I just like to, on any cold day I can drop and do fifty push
ups, run two miles in sixteen minutes, easy, I'm sure there are people
that can do more but I'm also sure that there are a lot of people who
can't. I can't say that I'm healthier than anyone else only that, I can
run two miles in sixteen minutes and do fifty push-ups in two minute.

That's what I mean about making exercise and health concrete, not
some vague word, you hear after a check-up, not something you feel
after getting out of the shower, but something you can do physically,
time and time again. There should be something around that promotes


standards of health that every citizen should be able to meet; doesn't
matter whether people meet them or not. I don't think there is anything
like that, or not really circulating, i.e., 'someone your age, should

be able to, run two miles in fifteen minutes, do fifty sit-ups in two
minutes, on any day.' Instead what you have, is a mess, 'just go and
exercise.' What the heck does that mean, get your sweatband, some fruit
punch, and knock out a couple of laps. This, table, lots of
organizations already use them, is just a guide, to let people know,
where they should be at physically, so they can make a goal for


themselves, so they can know whether they are really in shape or just,
pretending they are. You can tell someone 'just to exercise,' or you

can tell them, right now, you should be able to do, fifty push-ups. You
can tell someone they're healthy or not as healthy as they think, you
can't run two miles in eighteen minutes. Yeah, with any standards you


might sound, discrimination, doesn't have to be, there should be
something concrete to what exercise is, isn't, to what health is,
isn't, is it just walking around the mall in sweats, or a picture of
someone on a magazine, or something you only hear about after someone
else gets sick, or is it, doing, being able to do, fifty sit-ups in two
minutes? I don't this should be too much trouble; we already use
standards, they're everywhere, education, medicare, American Idol, to

paper, for someone to do something about their health. Exercise,
health, needs to stop becoming more and more abstract, can be really
simple, real, exercise, health, is being able to run two miles in

thirteen minutes. If you can't do that, you're not exercising,
healthy, you're around, you're alive, maybe that's enough;
everybody's different, free.


B ) And, second, start introducing programs, incentive programs in the
workplace, for people to have an opportunity to exercise. You can agree
or disagree to whether people have enough time, or have enough energy,

all you want, but you can't disagree that exercising helps people. I


think there should be departments re health and exercise in every
business, not just some poster in the break room, or giving someone a
'sickday' q month. Giving someone an opportunity to do something about
their health, can be real easy, give them an hour every other day,

every morning, three times a week, and pay them for it, to exercise, to


meet whatever goal, they set for themselves: be able to do seventy push
ups in two minutes, run a mile in six minutes. Heck, many people are

just exhausted after coming home from work to exercise, seems like more


businesses would encourage their people, people that spend the better
part of their day, working, to exercise, to take care of their health.

You don't need a lot space or equipment, calisthenics, and don't need a


track, when any old block can do. Yeah, you might get a lot people
who'll malinger, won't take advantage of the hour, may not be

interested in exercising, they don't have to, but you might get one or
two who won't malinger, who will exercise, and just need the
