How much exercise do you do? I dont have diabetes but my dad and
everyone in his family does. They are overweight too. I am 35. I have
gotten in good shape by running. I trained since May to run a 5k last
week. I did well. I am 175 lbs and 13.2% bodyfat.6 feet tall.

Anyway, race is over and dont have alot to run for. Thinking of joining

a gym now that weather is gettign colder and working out for 30 minutes

or so on my lunch hour.

I am stuggeling with what type of workout to make me look better but
also prevent diabetes. I am healthy after all the running, but people
(including wife) always comment about how skinny I look. I have done to

the weght lifting newsgroup and they basically said it is impossible to

gain muscle without gaining fat and it is impossible to both gain
muscle and lose bodyfat. You have to do one at a time.

So I am leaning toward liftin 3 days a week, swimming/running two days
. But I feel this is not enough cardio. Plus people told me I will not
be able to gain muscle with all that cardio. I am just so confused.
When I was training for the 5k I was up to running 4 miles 5 days a
week at the peak. (Although I think that was a liitle too much as I
messe dmy knee up).

Any advice is greatly appeciated!
