2.5 hours...everyday...2.5 hours...
From around age ten until I finished high school I walked an average of at least ten hours everyday six days a week of every summer plus enormous amounts of walking during the school year. I am a few days away from my 68th birthday and weigh about 255 today without clothing weight included. I am six four and according to the BMI I am “OBESE”. Strangely though people ask me how I look so fit and trim at my age. Most don’t believe I weigh anywhere near what I do unless they see me step on a scale. Body mass index is just numbers, it tells you nothing about body fat percentage. Some, like me, are muscular while some who have a much lower BMI are “skinny, fat men”. Some men are skinny everywhere except for their distended bellies. I have a fourteen inch “drop” between my coat size and my pants waist size. Some who have the same BMI have a waist fourteen inches larger than their chests. Five years ago I had a smaller chest measurement with far more fat and a waist size about six inches larger than what I have now. Five years of regular exercise and a few minor diet changes have made a big difference in how I look with very little change in my weight.
