Here is my 2 cents worth.

The need to exercise three tiimes a week in controlled environment is crucial for anyone who wants to be physically fit. Trying to exercise in excessive heat can be detrimental to one's health as I tried once when the heat on a running track was 110 degrees. I didn't get very far and had to stop with turned out to be a strained back, (surface too hard). I was much younger and not very wise.

I am not an expert and everyone has their views on what is needed to get fit. I exercise three times a week with weights and with a cross training machine.
1. The heart needs 20 minutes, (minimum), at 60% to 80% range of maximum allowed is order to get the benefit of a cardio-vascular workout. That 220 minus one age and times 60 or 80%.
2.If your on a treadmill and you having trouble talking to another person in terms of breathing, you are doing too much. I was much younger.
3. Lifting weights to strenghtened the bones.
4. Studies have shown that exercise will help you to live longer!!!

IMHO - Why can't three times a week be the basis for staying healthy and add on additional exercise such as golf, swimming, pickleball, ets.... assuming one's health will permit.

When someone complains they didn;'t want to come to the gym, I tell them it' s "mind over matter". When they ask what I mean, I tell them, "if you don't mind, it don't matter".

IMHO -I rather give my money for a gym than to give it to doctors. I would tend to think that a Planet Fitness or similar would help to make TV more perfect and help attract people who are into fitness and will require these low costs fitness centers.

Use it or lose it.
Excellent email. I also work out 2-3 times a week. Yes one has to do all the major muscle groups.

I really enjoyed the one email about taking the garbage out for your exercise.
Kind of like , hey the golf courses are all shut down lets all go Miniature golfing It's the same thing as golfing
