how do you teach an old man new tricks?
how do i convince my dad, who has diabetes, that walking while reading his book, and going 2 miles in 45 minutes doesnt really qualify as exercise?
hes convinced that heart rate doesnt matter during exercising, and is taking the physics approach, that it takes a certain amount of energy to move a body of matter a certain distance - no matter the speed, so he will burn the same number of calories. but what he doesnt realize is.. the point is to exercise your Heart, you burn calories when you sleep... but its not excercise! buhh..
