[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you manage to spend over 3 hours a day exercising? Is the walking part of a commute? [/quote]

I work out 80 minutes a day. And I walk everywhere. If I go to the dentist, to the doctor, to the post office.

I work full time, so yes, 3 hours a day seems insane. But I realize that I have been a couch potato most of my life, and you're supposed to be active.

The risk of death from all causes is highest not for those with high cholesterol or those who smoke. It is actually for those who lack fitness. Which is probably why my smoking mom was able to live into her 80s -- because she swam a half mile every day.

I will do long walks and think about something on which I'm working, so it's not like it is 3 separate hours from work. I try as much as possible to incorporate thinking/entertainment into the walks and exercise.

So the actual stats (for those interested) are:

All cause mortality: Normal risk = 1.0
For those with BMI>= 27, the risk is 1.18 for women, 1.33 for men
For those with cholesterol over 240 mg, the risk is 1.16 for women, 1.45 for men
For those with systolic BP >=140, the risk is 0.89 for women, 1.67 for men
For cigarette smokers, the risk is 2.12 for women, 1.89 for men
For those with LOW FITNESS, the risk is 2.23 for women, 2.03 for men.
