[Sportsandrec] Statistics on Fitness in Blind Community

Bill,
You didn't say anything hateful. Carley is in fact in school. From 
experience I know that school affords you the flexibility to workout longer; 
I did it too, not regularly, but on some ocasions; I did these long workouts
a few days a week. I never made it 3 hours though! But it was almost 2 I'd 
say. I had the flexibility to do homework later or late at night.
I usually worked out 45 minutes; other part was for stretching; so a good 
hour or slightly more at the gym.
In addition to my  gym  membership, I had the advantage of working out in my 
school fitness room; this was free and available to me any time the school 
fitness room was open.
So, it was certainly convenient to walk over to the lee center, our student 
union, and workout. Now from home, I have to factor in transportation to the 
facility and its not as convenient now.

Now out of school and looking at work, I strive to get about an hour of 
exercise, but it doesn't happen enough.
So, your assumption is right. And finally, one does not need multiple hour 
workouts to get in shape and feel the effects of exercise. I agree that a 
good 45 minutes most days of the week is sufficient for the average person.
If you have the physical stamana and time for hours of workout  periods, 
then go ahead though; just listen to your body and don't overdue it.
Also, if you strength train, meaning lift weights, you should rest the next 
day to let muscles recover.
Recovery is important so muscles rebuild and get stronger.

Ashley

there is no intention of expressing hate.  I am making the
assumption(perhaps mistakenly) of youth simply because Carley mentioned
school and being off for the summer.  You are also ignoring the words 2-3
hours of exercise daily. Everyone has the time or can create the time to
workout but few have 2-3 hours a day to do it. Nor do most require that
much.  If a reasonable level of intensity is put into a workout one can stay
in great shape with as little as 45 minutes three times a week. Your choices
are yours and I am in no way critacizing or diminishing their value.  I am
very sorry if something I said offended you.
