[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never run outside, for a start. That's the best way to look like a hag! I have a climber-type machine at home and binge watch Netflix. I assume hot yoga is more of a draw in the winter, no? I prefer regular yoga, which I also do at home.[/quote]

As someone who loves the outdoors and the mental calm that exercise brings, your routine sounds incredibly depressing!
I don’t think exercise outdoors = haggard. But I also can imagine a particular type of woman (hard to define) who believes this, and that’s fine. [/quote]

PP you replied to. I'm slim, fit, love the outdoors, but I don't run in it, and I go out with sunscreen and my dog. If you were running on trails in the forest, there would be less pollution, more shade, less impact on joints. But on sidewalks in polluted cities and suburbs? No thanks.

Also, to return to the hag thing that seems to be tripping you up... you might be too young to notice, but most dedicated runners look like hags past a certain age. It's a combination of not enough sun protection and unforgiving pavement pounding. Humans were not meant to run on something that hard, no matter what shoe you're wearing. After a while, it disturbs skin elasticity and harms joints. [/quote]

I mean, I also think humans were not meant to exercise on fake stair climbing equipment in basements while mindlessly stuffing their brain with TV…
I think everyone look like hags once they’re old… because they’re old. I think you value different things than I do, and I also think that’s fine because I’d never sacrifice responsible sun time because I was scared of wrinkles.

I definitely DO think runners have to be very mindful about sun exposure,  and also posture and running surfaces to avoid joint issues, but this has been widely studied so we know a lot about protective techniques. [/quote]
