Seven minutes? - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

So all the commercials telling me to go outside for an hour is making me exercise 53 more minutes than I should have? - Alfredo

Well that explains why I'm not dead yet... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

the problem people is not the excercise, it's the crap some people out there eat. if you ate more healthy foods and less mcdonalds, excercise isn't as big an issue in peoples daily lives... - Terry O'Fee

Terry, that also helps explain why I'm not dead yet. I try to not eat crap... Often. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Way back when I was in college our aerobic teacher told us that 10 min. of activity a day was good enough to maintain. - Admiral Anika

i eat crap but not on a daily basis. and i don't eat a lot. yes, im a little podgy but can be hidden with a tshirt and found a good meal plan im going to start in the next few weeks... - Terry O'Fee

Yeah I don't think so. I have a healthy, tailored diet, and if I don't do 30mins-1hr of exercise a day I gain weight rapidly. I'm calling this an epic crock of bull refuse. - Mo Kargas

Metabolisms vary, Mo. Yours may just be slower than average... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

@Mo: Ditto. Even with a healthy diet, I'm pretty sure that even 7 minutes a *day* is not enough. - Charles Bihis

@Tina Or these 7 minute people are actually hummingbirds - Mo Kargas

Why the heck am I doing 90 minutes of bikram yoga 2-3 days a week then? *Falls out* - Amani

it depends on some people, that's right. there is no "one surefire way" to lose weight (apart from stop eating completely, but i dont recommend that to anyone). people are too different and need to find their own tips and tricks. my mother only recently just turned 50 and she's only just now having to start excercising, her metabolism has been great over the years (looks like i got my dads genes hahah) - Terry O'Fee
