[Over43]

The name may ring some bells for those of us who are over 40. He authored Aerobics in 1966 which was then b@st@rdized into lycra, leg warmers, step aerobics and people destroying kness and hips by running 50 miles a week.

In 1982 he followed up Aerobics with a second book Aerobics Program for Total Well Being. In the first 77 pages two things have stood out.

1) He suggests eating three balanced meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

2) He contends that jogging/running (pick your exericse) more than 12-15 miles a week becomes unhealthy. His aerobic point system "tops" out at 35 points a week. (For instance I can ride the Airdyne 3 times a week, for 45 minutes at a 2.5 pave for 35 points.)

If you can get ahold of his books at the library I would suggest taking the time to read them.

On another note, the octopus picked Spain.

I keep being shocked by how unoriginal I am!

This "new solution" of meal based eating and systematically moderate exercise has been lying right under our noses for generations.

My only hope is that I've given it the right spin to finally catch on.

Nah, that's too simple, it'd never work.

Yeah, who knew?

What's next, burn off more calories than you consume and you will lose weight?
