As this chapter suggests, regular exercise should be an important part of any healthy lifestyle. For this discussion, examine your present level of physical activity and compare it to the optimal level suggested by current research. Reflect on the following questions:

• Are you exercising too little? Too much?
• Are you relying on the wrong type of exercise?
• Do your exercise habits make you susceptible to injuries?
• What benefits can you expect from exercise?
• Do you use technology (such as smartphone apps, step counters, websites, or Nike+ FuelBands) to either monitor your activity or push yourself to become more physically active? Do these technological solutions seem to work? If so, what aspects keep you motivated and on track with your physical activity goals? If they do not seem to help, why not?
