Any exercise is good exercise

I used to be in pretty good shape--now not so much. I'll take some of the blame but honestly north Texas is a brutal place to stay fit. It's either hot, cold, windy or humid and sometimes it's all in one day. I grew up in northern California where the weather is bit more temperate which make being outdoors and active much easier.

A bunch of workers with the Baylor hospital system have a way to beat the heat and stay in shape at the same time. They use the skybridge between Baylor Heart Hospital and Baylor Regional as the road to fitness. Seven roundtrips equals one mile and not once do they have to step foot outside where in July it's hot and muggy. So far they've walked more than 6,500 hundred miles and have lost lots of weight and at least one woman has seen her cholesterol level drop dramatically.

Many of them would probably not be as good about getting exercise if they had to go outside to do it.
