I hope that's not true but I will say that I had a very active job waitressing and I think it was much worse for me than sitting at a desk has been.

Looks like this segment spawned many questions and fewer comments. Are you going to have a follow-up? Just wondering.
Thanks

To the caller who said she had no time due to baby: I don't have a baby, may I say right off the bat, BUT if and when I do, here's what i would do to combat this feeling of having no time: Get a mini-trampolene or a Rebounder and when baby is sleeping jump on the rebounder/trampoline in a rhythmic pace for about 20 minutes or for the duration of baby's nap (rhythmic, monotonous sounds have been shown to put baby to sleep) and build progressively. Pilates on fifth have developed a whole exercise tape and classes based on this called Caridolates and it kicks your butt in a short amount of time. Also, invest in some quick toning tapes and do them while baby sits and watches or naps, or plays with his/her toys. A mini-trampolene is only $35 or so and can fit in a corner.
Just an idea. Loved this segment!

I am 47 years old and my knee is seriously "crunchy". I love doing power walks but my knee hurts afterwards. What else can I do?

The new mom who called in can use her baby to help her exercise. Check out Strollersize in Central Park.

I interval train I sprint 100 for every 400. It increases your endurance alot. And for me I get pretty bored after 20 minutes into a straight run, this is a way to keep me pumped and I run for an average of 45 min like this.

I generally prefer weight training to cardio, and if I move through free weight exercises quickly, I get a great increase in my heart rate- how does this differ from walking/ running/ traditional cardio exercises?

Is a commercially available heart rate monitor an adequate measure of effort for exercise purposes? Also what heart rate should I strive for for cardio purposes?

If you are interested in long term health benefit, consider taking t'ai chi classes. I would love to see one of the programs in this series devoted to the benefits of t'ai chi.

I heard somewhere that if you are not on your feet 4 hours a day you are sedentary.

i've been lifting weights for over 10 years and have flirted with the admittedly more important cardio workout. i've now started a routine in which i run a lap and then walk a lap, for 30 minutes or more. is this beneficial to my cardio fitness and will it help to lower my (high) cholesterol?
always enjoy the show...
