Kathy replied to missrobbie's discussion 'I hate excerising is 30 min. per day enough??'"I definitely think 30 minutes is enough. Most certainly way better than nothing.

Alan replied to missrobbie's discussion 'I hate excerising is 30 min. per day enough??'"I agree. The rowing machine is an excellent form of exercise. Low impact, works your whole body.

Jag1 replied to missrobbie's discussion 'I hate excerising is 30 min. per day enough??'"Have you tried a rowing machine?

acidrock23 replied to missrobbie's discussion 'I hate excerising is 30 min. per day enough??'"A buddy of mine is a doctor and mentioned that 20 minutes is enough to get your heart rate going and perceive a benefit.

Stemwinder replied to missrobbie's discussion 'I hate excerising is 30 min. per day enough??'"30 minutes a day is a good amount especially if it is the best you can do.

Cherise said… I was wondering if you ever found any information on people who will help with the cost of getting a DAD. I found a low cost way thats way lower than the $7000 to 10000 that they tend to cost. A local woman here does it. She breeds labs specifically to be a DAD. They have the scent by the time they are 6 to 7 weeks old and she helps you train the dogs for a low cost.
