G&M — \u201cStatistics Canada released two studies Wednesday, that have grave implications for our long-term health.<\/p>\n
The reports found only 15 per cent of adults were getting the recommended minimum amount of exercise \u2014 150 minutes a week \u2014 to keep them healthy.<\/p>\n
On the flip side, they spent an average of 9.5 hours a day, or 69 per cent of their waking hours, sitting still.<\/p>\n
The news was even more dire for the younger generation, with a dismal 7 per cent of kids ages 6 through 19 clocking the hour a day they need for healthy growth and development. They were inactive for 62 per cent of their day or 8.6 hours.\u201d<\/I><\/p>\n
My wife has been after me all these years for not exercising. May be now I can cite these reports to prove that I am not alone, but just an average guy, just following the trend of the majority.<\/p>\n
But in case that cannot get me off the hook, here are some other handy lifesavers.<\/p>\n
Top 10 Excuses for not Exercising<\/p>\n
1.\tI am too busy, that will take too much effort, and definitely no time for that
\n2.\tNot enough energy, I am too tired already
\n3.\tNot my style\/sign, not interested
\n4.\tI am too fat to move. Need to lose some weight first before I can show my body in public
\n5.\tI am sick, I have a cold (or I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or I have brittle bones\/arthritis)
\n6.\tI\u2019m pregnant
\n7.\tI\u2019m all stressed out
\n8.\tNo thank you, I am not into sports
\n9.\tI have enough exercise at work already
\n10.\tI am healthy enough, no need to be off my couch
