In India, women sweep and mop the floor daily and that’s great exercise! My Mom does it regularly and she is fit in her mid-50s… alas, my cleaning involves dancing with the vacuum and running a duster on the blinds…

you’ve inspired me. i’m in the midst of transitioning between life in texas and life in indiana, and, as i drove a moving truck up to indiana,i am carless for a couple of weeks. my little brother’s ball game is tonight, and i’m dying to sit in the bleachers and cheer him on. so…off i go across the river on my lovely red bicycle…we’ll see how well i handle the hills! =0) they’re a touch daunting on the way up. thanks for the nudge! happy day!

It is a pleasure to live in a city like Paris and not need a car. The metro and bus lines are fabulous and walking is such a pleasure. I lived in Austin and tried to take the bus but couldn’t take the wait in the heat and I could walk to work in the morning but the heat in the afternoon defeated me. Your car rental thing sounds perfect.

Count me in the big walkin’ crowd as well. And biking. My favorite part of walking is taking different routes. As spring arrives I find myself walking in alleys so I can peer into people’s backyard gardens for inspiration.

Our latest version of incidental exercise is badminton. We’ve set up a net on our front lawn and have been playing in the evening. It’s silly, fun and when we’re feeling feisty, pretty hard work. Of course other nights we work harder to keep from spilling a glass of wine while we play and those nights may not count as accidental exercise

I also love walking and hate the gym. I’ve been walking to work for three years now and love it! I also recently bought an Electra Amsterdam and plan on biking more and driving less. I live in a city of about 25,000, so we don’t have mass transit and the city isn’t really pedestrian oriented. I would love to live in a walkable city!
