Month ago I started to go to fitness club. It seems I have scoliosis. This means my backbone is bent a little. I heard that fitness exercises strengthen a backbone… But I think lifting weights isnt good for me…

Can I count sex as exercise on my fitness journal?

exercise and fitness
Document Guy asked:


I have a fitness journal. I have to do some sort of exercise every afternoon after work. I either swim 5 km, ride my bike 40 kms on the bike lanes, jog 5km, walk 20 km. I have other kinds of exercises that are hard to measure how many calories I burn, but I still count them as exercise: like playing football with friends, rappelling, playing baseball, ice-skating, or rollerblading. I’ve never lifted weights, but I should try someday. Last week, I had sex 3 afternoons, and I didn’t do any exercise those days. The only thing that ever keeps me from doing exercise is when my boyfriend wants to have sex. It takes me from 2 to 3 hours, and I end up really tried, it leaves me wanting to go to sleep afterwards.

Can I count sex as exercise on my fitness journal?

How important is the diet when it comes to a workout plan?

diet
vineo76 asked:


I read these magazines that have these excellent workout plans. I do the workouts, but I don’t do the crazy diet that they show with it. I don’t eat a lot of egg whites and things like that, but I do make sure I eat healthy and drink protein shakes like Muscle Milk. Is it important to follow the diet plan that they have in these magazines? I mean, prisoners don’t follow a series diet plan and they come out pretty ripped.
