- EXERCISE CLASSES AND FAT GIRL FREAK OUTS by Jes Baker @ The Militant Baker - "Body image is all of the shit, and I totally get it. But do me a favor: don’t do this class for the weight loss. So, 'do it for the orgasms', I did. The night turned into a spiritual experience; one that really altered my perspective. And I would estimate I doubled my friend's record of 10 orgasms in a night. It's was. Amazing."

- Dear Virgie: “Why Does Exercising Feel So Complicated?” by Virgie Tovar - Stop thinking of it as “Exercise,” and start thinking of it as “Stuff I Do With My Body Because It’s Fun and Feels Good” As I mentioned just a second ago, the only strenuous physical activity I engaged in that didn’t set off my intensely disordered thinking around exercise was boning. Why? Because even though Cosmo has told us that sex is the best way to get “killer abs” it’s just too fun to qualify as legit exercise. That’s because the whole POINT of “exercise” is not to have fun.Exercise is part of that whole WASP obsession with things being difficult and misery-inducing otherwise they’re “not worth having.” Exercise is this kind of made-up concept. It’s indistinguishable from “stuff I do with my body because it’s fun and feels good” except without the “because it’s fun and feels good” part. Exercise is something you do explicitly for the purpose of fitness or discipline, and that’s why it’s so hard to disassociate doing exercise from dieting. Dieting is like exercise’s creepy twin in some ways, but it doesn’t have to be if we begin to divorce physical movement from utility, and just see it as fun and pleasurable.
- How Much Sitting is Too Much? @ Positive Med - "...Dr. stated, “I want you up 10 minutes of every hour walking around, that’s just common sense.” Unfortunately, it really is not common sense, or common knowledge...The most dangerous time is if a blood clot travels to your lungs and blocks the blood flow, this will cause extreme pain and shortness of breath. The clot can be far in depth, the leg is most common, this is known as DVT, or Deep Vein Thrombosis.

- The Affective Response to Exercise - Springer - "An affective response (AR) can be defined as the general psychological state of an individual, including but not limited to emotions and mood, within a given situation. In its most basic context, AR is used to describe an individual’s subjective experience (i.e., intrapersonal or experiential core) of all valenced responses; i.e., those that involve the potential for both positive and negative dimensions. Similar to RPE and exercise-induced muscle pain responses, individuals can rate the AR to exercise and PA by selecting a number from a range of numerical categories (both positive and negative) displayed on an affect scale. Scales designed to measure AR, such as the Feeling Scale (FS), include verbal descriptors placed in juxtaposition to numerical categories representing the range of affective responsiveness from the most negative feelings to the most positive feelings regarding the exercise situation. The Feeling Scale has been used to assess the range of overall feelings an individual may experience before, during and after PA. In addition, scales have been designed to measure specific affective domains, such as enjoyment during PA. The measurement of AR and enjoyment during exercise, along with perceived exertion, may be crucial to identifying the types of exercise programs that provide health-fitness benefits and promote psychological well-being."
