I can't wait 'til I have the time to watch the Paul Gliding one. The one about exercise is true, though. I read a book a while back and it said that 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week will get you (on average) 23 hours of energy. It makes sense, too - your body functions more efficiently, you spend less energy trying to get blood through clogged arteries/etc.

I've always been active, but recently really started to work out harder, eat better than most people do etc.
Not only did I drop some weight, but my mood changed. I was always happy, but now I'm even more so. I now easily make proper food choices and I'm not craving the bad stuff near as often. More energy in everything I do.

I was typically working out 5 days a week. Now, it's 2 times a day on most of my week days ("easy" in the morning and a killer one at night) and my weekends I'm spending being active in things I enjoy.

The increase in activity brought my resting heart rate from high 50s-low 60s (which is slightly better than the average person) and I now rest easily in the low 50s. My BP dropped about 10 points on the systolic (higher number) and my diastolic dropped about 30. It was actually such a big change and such a weird number that we took it a few times because neither of us thought it was right. I had a totally, perfectly normal BP before. My O2 sats were about 97-98% before but they now stick at 99% when I'm at rest.
Just seeing those numbers, with my attitude and energy level changes and the weight loss is enough to keep me going at it and to preach to people how important it is.

I've been injured quite a bit this summer and have been prevented from doing my preferred routine and it SUCKS.

Get out and active if you feel that you aren't active enough... The changes are worth it!
 
Holy crap that's a good resting heart rate. Congrats!

BUT there is a thing as too much exercise. When you start dropping body fat, you'll find yourself getting mood swings and you can't think as clearly. Your brain needs a certain amount of fat to function properly. Your body also needs a certain amount of fat to cushion your organs.

Is Bill Clinton's DNC speech worth watching? It's 50 minutes so I'm a little iffy, but I've heard good things about it.

Been watching a lot of choreography as of late:

Yeah, I'm not below 10% BF and my diet involves fat, I eat what I'm supposed to so that I'm healthy and able to perform athletically, not just so I can drop weight and look good.

My resting heart rate is 68. I have a heart rate watch that I can monitor. I take it to the gym today. I did some wieghts and that thing jumped to 150, lol. I thought I was gonna get a heart attack.

After gym, I played some street ball, just like when I was in Uni. I feel good that I can still run the 20 year olds, lol

According to the machine at the gym, I have a Body Fat of 8%. I find that hard to believe
 
TED's got some good stuff, but sometimes I have to remind myself that it's a forum for the rich.

Anyway...

An epic phone call to the Kingston cable company (CableVue at the time, IIRC). It's been floating around for 25 years and finally made it to the web.
