Active ?

Friend of mine had a medical assesment yesterday she was a little upset when she came back as they insisted on putting her down as having an inactive life style, this lady runs 3 days a week 6 miles each day, swims twice a week multiple lengths of the local pool, goes to the gym at the weekend and does spin training. Her only inactive period is work where she is a data clerk.

Made us wonder what people have to do to be classed as active ?

No not an ounce of fat on her and I doubt an extremely obese person could do all she does.

Sounds like a misunderstanding to me.

Well woman check, she has begun perimenopause so had a check up arranged by her work, they really look after their staff in that company.

Crossed wires somewhere - I hope she questioned this very inaccurate assessment.

Re: Active ?

Something wrong there, she sounds very active to me. I'd be re-checking my results with them..

Re: Active ?

Daft but each doctor makes a judgement based on what they think, I was told that walking cycling and hiking with the dogs didnt count as exersize but my neighbour was told to get or borrow a dog because that would be good exersize!

She would only be 'upset' if the clinician's remarks were true Julie
