Reconsider the goods of Exercise

I find this article is really interesting about the benefits of exercises. As we usually know that the outcome of exercise is enormous and fantastic, no doubt about this, such as prevent you from obesity, breast cancer, high blood pressure and so on.

However, in the article which i have mentioned above, it shows that even though we accept all the benefits from exercise, those results are not really clear and also it was trailed in different people with different human conditions such as "it is impossible to know with confidence whether exercise prevents heart disease or whether people who are less likely to get heart disease are also more likely to be exercising." Moreover, the article shows that weight lifting is not a good way to lose weight because instead of fat, you will earn more muscle which has a really low metabolic( exchange chemistry between human cells). This article also said that exercise alone can not reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol level neither. So, in order to have a healthy body, you have to exercise and also diet as well.

I don't really care about these kind of problems because i think i'm healthy enough. However, i chose this article because i think it will be helpful for my classmates and may be my teacherS.

I can not agree with you more. People usually think that exercise is good for their health. In fact,it is not true. Many people chose to do exercise in the morning because they think the air is clean. But,actually the best time to do exercise is in the afternoon.
Your passage reminds me of exercise. Thank you

hi Tai,
It's my first time to comment your blog~~haha
You found a nice article, and it will be a good resouce to our group. I agree with you. Different people have different conditions. Maybe somebody is not suitble on exercising. I have a queation, why you think you are healthy enough? You cannot tell it without a physicle exam, and you should care about it even if you are healthy. It is good for your future

This is a great article to report about. Maybe you could (or one of your group members) could write a report about attitudes toward exercise for the final newspaper article. It might be really interesting to do a survey to find out how many U of M students exercise on a regular basis. Hmmmm.
