Excercise
19 Answers
I don't do any exercise per se...but I do a very active job. I work as a waitress in a restaurant which is at the top of a lot of stairs. The job entails walking up and down these all day. I am on my feet and on the go most of the day.
Since starting this job I have lost a lot of weight (2.5 stone) and I am in the healthy range according to the BMI calculator
My question is does this count as exercise? I know that most health sites recommend 30 mins several times a week but I am not sure if what I do is enough??

To improve fitness further, you would need to up the intensity, i.e run up the stairs. Your heartrate needs to reach a specific zone in order for you to get an adequate workout.

Velvetee, as a personal trainer can you give me some advice. I am disabled and housebound most of the time and have put on so much weight recently that I am really uncomfortable. How can a disabled person get some form of exercise. I should explain that I can not stand for long and walking I am limited to about 25 yards. Is there anything I can do? I would be very grateful for any advice.
