I have to somehow figure out how to increase the amount of exercise I get without losing weight because I'm kinda verging on being underweight, apparantly and I get... like... no exercise.

I'd say walking, weights can make you pull your back out or some other serious injury, which would hurt you (duh). Walking can get you into shape too. And it's tied. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/ohmy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ohmy.gif' />

Or... is it? Seriously, though. I'd reccomend walking. Unless you lift heavy objects on a regular basis, weight training probably won't yield much for long-term benefits. On the other hand, you'll always have to walk.

Thanks for your input, folks. I decided to go with walking on the matter. It seems to come out on top on the situation.

Oh, great, I'm too late to drop my two-cents in <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /> Well, I'll put them in anyways *Now you have a doller* I have Weight-training, and I must tell you: If you wanna feel that feeling of emasculation, weight-training is the course for you <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /> . GOD, I'm the weakest man in there <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />! I feel so alone *crawls in a corner, fetal position*. So in conclusion, I think you made the right choice.

I suppose it various from person to person, I just like the feeling of pushing myself a lil' each time and having the will power to keep holding yourself up... just... a lil'... longer...

Also - anyone who tells you that walking isn't intensive exercise has never been on... Gee... How long was that ramble I once went on with Lilac. Uhh. Lessee... It lasted 10-12 hours after a 6-10 hour sleep from a 3 hour walk.... Rather fun. I learnt cows are evil, though.

In my case, walking isn't as wholesome as a good flight.
