[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Exercise INCLUDES stretching and strength training--it's not an entirely separate item on the list.[/quote]

Actually, in terms of time, it is. The recommendation is 30 minutes of cardio at least 5 times a week for cardiovascular health. Stretching and strength training is in addition to cardio. For most people, stretching and strength training doesn't raise their heart rate enough to count towards the recommended cardio. [/quote]

I didn't say cardio includes strength training, but it's all "exercise." Many people focus on hitting the recommended minutes each week rather than doing it daily. And you're likely not doing strength training every day either, so it's certainly doable to work in all types of exercise each week. If you have an hour to exercise, some days it may be all cardio, other days it may be half cardio and half strength training, or maybe just all strength training. But regardless of how you parse it out, it's all "exercise."[/quote]
