Ask HN: How much do you exercise a day/week?

Re:Ask HN: How much do you exercise a day/week? by gaoshan on Sunday April 19, 2009 @11:43PM (#570158)

I walk from the sofa to the microwave and back to retrieve my hotpocket. Some days I go out to the mailbox to collect the pile of mail that has built up from the days I didn't quite make it out (but the sun hurts my eyes and burns my pasty skin so I quickly retreat indoors to bask in the glow of my monitor).

On those days that I manage to taste the fresh air I occasionally get the feeling, way in the back of my head, that I should get out and do something. Someday.

on one hand, I love this joke, but on the other hand, while i enjoy nice weather, I'm sufficiently sun burnable that my idea of nice outdoor weather is a bright day with diffuse light due to a thin film of clouds

[edit: i do tan, just very very slowly :p, though that may be a consequence of summers spent doing cs / math research rather than healthy stuff :)]

Go to the local drug store and get some 80 SPF spray-on sunscreen. Also sun-protecting chapstick (the highest SPF I could find for chapstick was 30).

Don't forget to do your ears, the backs of your hands, and the back of your neck.

Sounds like skiing is for you, get to enjoy the great outdoors while usually being protected from the sun.

Ouch, I'd advise you to never go skiing without copious amounts of sunscreen. I've gotten crazy sunburns from the sun reflecting off the snow.
