exercise doesn't mean competitive sports. exercise means getting off of one's couch and walking all the way to the refrigerator instead of yelling at your resident broad to get another beer for you.
seriously though. excercise means walking or swimming or something for an hour or so. this is not complicated or difficult and will hardly cause complications. swimming for an hour. for me this means a mile. swimming is low impact and low risk (unless you're an idiot). competitive sports are intended to push one to his limits. obviously you surpassed yours. and btw. as far as i remember, competitive athletes tend to exercise far more than an hour every day.
oh yes. and government figures? those are based on cross country runners. hardly a useful group. they eat way too much grain and are way too skinny because they have to carry themselves at high speeds for very long periods of time. thus they build long, lean, light muscles. why did they pick them? they look almost healthy. government people can't even pick out what to teach in schools to prevent teenagers from becoming parents, why should you trust them to tell you how much you should weigh?
i don't fit my body size standards. one, because i have a fat middle i should stop being lazy and get rid of. two, because i have really muscular legs from dance and track. oh yes. and i have
really big boobs. the last bit alone probably keeps me at my 15lbs over. but the rest needs to go too.
