Coworker told me that I probably shouldn't exercise My coworker is obese, and her husband is morbidly obese. I made a remark at work about how I was a bit grumpy because I was starting to run again, and my hips were giving me a hard time. I just moved from a climate without snow, to one with snow at least half of the year, so I've been dragging my feet about running again. I still bike daily (studded tires yay) and do yoga and blah blah other exercise. She said, without sarcasm, you probably shouldn't exercise. Yeah, that's how that works. She honestly thought she was giving me good advice. Everyone in my office is overweight or obese, so they just feed into each other's bullshit about food and how exercise is hard cause they tried it once in high school and it hurt their knees.
