Hour of exercise may be too much for busy U.S. women – Yahoo! News
CHICAGO (Reuters) –
Healthy middle-aged women in America will be hard pressed to get in the full hour of moderate exercise it will take to avoid gaining weight as they age, and it may be too challenging for some.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Tuesday found that middle-aged women need to get at least an hour a day of moderate exercise if they hope to ward off the creep of extra pounds that comes with aging.
“Time is a four-letter word,” said Eva Lazarra, 48, a pharmacist at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois, who was taking a break from work to lift weights at the facility's fitness center.
“In a realistic world of a working mom with a family, it can be difficult. I've done my best,” said Lazarra. “I have done marathons. I have done triathlons. Unfortunately, we have to start looking at prevention, and that being part of our daily life.”
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are already waging a war on childhood obesity. It may take a similar push in adults to help them avoid the health consequences of obesity such as heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.
Already, two-thirds of U.S. adults and nearly one in three children are overweight or obese — a condition that increases their risk for diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses.
The United States spends nearly $150 billion a year on obesity and related complications — twice what it cost in 1998 and more than every cancer cost put together.
Many experts, including the independent and influential Institute of Medicine, have said it will take policy changes at all levels of government to help Americans exercise more — by creating bicycle paths, reducing crime in rough neighborhoods and building more public transport.
Dr. Mary Tillema, 42, a neonatologist at the medical center, said an hour a day of moderate exercise will be tough. “I think that's a lot to ask of the typical person. If I don't watch what I eat, I gain, even though I try to consistently exercise.”
Tillema works out three to four days a week, with a routine that includes 35 minutes of cardiovascular exercise and about a half hour of weight training.
“I'd like to think that I can get away with less, but I can't because I see the weight start to creep up and I don't feel as good. But I certainly don't get an hour a day,” she said.
Sheila Anderson, 50, of Berwyn, Illinois, works out at the fitness center three to four times a week, doing 45 minutes of cardiovascular training and a couple of hours a week of weight training.
“Does it strike me as too much?” she said of the finding. “Maybe. It sure is hard to fit in an hour each day. I could not come to the gym seven days a week,” she said.

Here was my first new funny dating video profile: I am basically just a really sick, twisted, disturbed young man who only joined this site to meet girls so I can enjoy their pets. But I am also a friendly guy. Your mom will love me. I’m innocuous as, bro. To the max and though you can not underestimate the shrewd and conniving lengths I will go to touch unsuspecting young animals, you will be astonished at how I maintain a veneer of apparent normality, a good job, a nice car, a nice apartment, I eat out, I keep in shape, I DJ at clubs around town, I avoid products containing processed sugars.
The shocking truth of the matter is I have truly bizarre and outrageous pet fantasies and you probably shouldn’t have anything to do with a guy like me. I am not funny, I am definitely not easygoing, I hate DVD’s and I hate the beach which includes but is not limited to any extended walking excursions. I’m a interested in girls who own or otherwise have access to dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, budgies, goldfish, frogs, insects, reptiles, ferrets, rats, mice, pigs, sheep, badgers, wombats, snakes, axolotls, goats, ponies, unicorns, care bears, crabs, dolphins, sharks, flying squirrels, flying lizards, penguin

s, parrots, pandas, pokemon, sea monkeys, whatever. I am hot for it.
Just one idea for how Youtube Promotion can work with humorous funny online video production ideas: here’s my new one:
Hi, I’m Matt.
I don’t want a girlfriend. I don’t want to watch DVD’s and I hate the beach. I don’t think I’m unique, I’m just not average. But I guess I’d like to be more normal. I wake up in my apartment, I look across the city, I drive my Black BMW to my favourite cafe where I break my fast and read the paper to catch up on local news as I conduct my business by email. Once I have attended my meetings and engagements I return to my apartment. I wonder what the future holds. I wonder what eventualities are held amongst the infinite possibilities. I make music on my computer, it’s just the way I talk when the universe speaks to me and I need to reply. Don’t we all just want to be understood? I DJ around town but part of me hates it. I have a little video camera I bought because I want to be able to film things. Tell stories. I don’t want a girlfriend, but then again I don’t know what I want. I want more. I want less. I’d like to be more normal.
So you talk to a girl. You make plans. You meet up. You enjoy a pleasant evening with amusing conversation. I make smart comments, you laugh. I drive you home. And so it is. I don’t want a girlfriend, but then again I don’t know what I want. Maybe life could be like a movie, or a music video, it’s like there’s this curtain that could just be pulled away to reveal so much more. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of time for the whole DVD’s and beach walking thing, just . . . not for me right now.
