Wow. This is so not new information. This is the same stuff I used to post on my diet blog 8 years ago. I guess there really is nothing new under the sun. Everything just gets recycled. Do people really not already know these basic, obvious tips?

Love the idea of putting only exercise equipment in front of the TV. We were thinking of buying some new couches for the TV room… but this sounds like an even better solution. Thanks!

Yeah, the practicalities of cycling to work are a big ‘barrier to entry’.

Having spent time in the US, though, there are a lot of short (5 mile roundtrip) journeys that would be better – for time and health – using a bike rather than car.

And encouraging a culture of bike use is deffo the way forward. Imagine – UK and US rush hour being one of bikes, like in Asia!

“Telly Heads” sounds more British to me. :) A bike is a good idea if you live somewhere that is it usable for transportation. Many employers don’t have shower facilities so riding to work is out of the questions unless you are in a very cool non-humid climate or live very near work.

I think we are making progress in the US though. There was a new tax law passed that lets employers deduct the cost of reimbursing employees for a bike to ride to work. So maybe we are getting closer.

This says a great deal about the American sedentary lifestyle – the assumption that we’re telly heads and car users.

I agree – making exercise part of your lifestyle is important. How about buying (and using!) a bike?

I have a little 15 minute exercise routine that I do when I first get up in the morning. That way, even if my whole day ends up being sedentary, I’ve at least gotten those 15 minutes!

Nice post. I’ve always recommended friends to do something similar to the ‘part in first spot’. Basically, park your car 5-10 mins from your house, ever morning and night you then gain and extra 10-20 min walking exercise. :)
