Poll: How often do you exercise?

that's not necessarily true. an individuals capacity for work is flexible. during a period of functional overreaching, you can increase your capacity for work and thus adapt to a greater workload.

obviously a casual gym go-er doesn't have to think much about that, but i just thought i'd point out that it is possible to train intensely every day and also have a day job. i compete as a bodybuilder and work full time in software development.

no doubt - thanks for pointing that out! i thought i had accounted for that, but maybe i didn't do so clearly enough!

that said, you train hard every day? respect, but jesus, better you than me ;)

nah don't think of it that way. its better to exercise moderately unless you have some specific goal in mind. i have an addictive personality, and bodybuilding has been my way to satisfy that in a more productive manner.
