I also find it interesting that people here in Istanbul, my point of reference, say that I do too much sports.

Is there such a thing?

Talk amongst yourselves. Cool


Of course you can do too much sports, I�d love to play more football, rugby, cricket tennis, a lot more, seriously, but I'm responsible enough to know that I have a commitment to drinking myself into and unintelligible stupor four times a week.

The Turkey forum has been getting decidedly silly recently.

The cheapest health insurance is a combination of exercise and sensible eating habits.

Everyone should get at least 30-60 minutes of exercise per day. Most people have few excuses as to not being able to find 60 minutes per day to exercise. It is question of organization.

Even in Istanbul, there are a couple of Parks where you can power walk or jog. You can always find the time if you are organized.

Ghost usually has a gym bag with track suit and running shoes, small towel and deoderant, and if there a couple of spare hours (between classes) during the day - it's time to take off for a power walk or jog for 30-45 minutes. If there is no shower at work, you can take a 'sponge bath' in the washroom with your soap and towel down. Do it like the Africans and you will still be clean.

There are gyms sprouting up all over Istanbul, and you can join for a monthly fee which will not ruin you. Tell them you are a teacher at such and such a school, and you might get a discount (bring the school card).

It is sad to see so many ESL/EFL teachers get into bad habits during spare time of basically drinking/smoking/eating junk food.

Exercise is not always fun, but it should be a daily habit. It is health insurance.
