The only exercise I get is lifting gin and tonics, spoons and forks. I alternate the G & Ts between my left and right hand so I don't end up with a Popeye arm on one side only. So far I have ended up with Olive Oyl arms on both sides.

Oooops, I forgot to say that I poop like clockwork every morning.

You and I both, Chief. In fact, the day doesn't start until I've destroyed a commode with the first diarrhea of the morning.

I don't exercise but my poops do. This morning I think they did jumping-jacks for about thirty minutes before finally emerging.

I know the phenomenon you're describing, Chief. I've been on an (almost) salads-only diet for the last few days, and my ritual explosive diarrhea seems to have given way to a less-pleasant passing of solid MiniTurds, with persistent and noxious gas all day, accompanied by a great deal of rumbling and shuffling around in my bowels which is rather disturbing.

I think they're renovating in there.

Whether I exercise or not, I can usually snap off a large mudsnake in the morning. The only exceptions are when I have to get up at 0300 for a hunting or fishing trip. That always shuts down my digestive system.

I think my guts are just the opposite of CEP's. If I'm up and at 'em at 0300, I'm shitting like there's no tomorrow. As far as excercise goes... sometimes it helps. But sometimes just knowing I wont' have a potty nearby will scare out a round or two of hot caca!

Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!

Before I tore a groin muscle, there were many a times on the treadmill that were interrupted by the need to take a dump.

When I exercise, it MAKES me go poop, there for my answer of other - usually find myself needing to go during

Mostly I'm regular, exercise or no; case in point, a recent out-of-state trip that involved mostly driving and very little walking, let alone serious exercise: on that trip I pooped two or three times a day, good movements. But I do find, at home, that hard yard work can stimulate peristalsis and bring on an extra-satisfying dump.

Exercise makes no difference to my shitting. I lay cable after breakfast and that`s it for the day.

But if I`ve been on the beer the night before then go for a 10 mile hike, the hard walking re-ferments the beer in my guts and I`ll let rip like a backfiring car for an hour or so. No turds, though.

I don't poop very often, and I exercise even less often. Those rare instances in which I do exercise, I had no desier to poop during or afterwards.

I consider sitting on the toilet a
squat-thrust.

Yes PD, and flexing the old sphincter is like doing anal curls.

PD, you and me alike. I get almost no physical exertion, except for running around after 5 kids. Actually, when I think about it, that's alot of exertion.

I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!

Exercise is over rated. My only physical activity is sticking my arm out the window of a truck and sticking crap in people's mailboxes, along with the occasional 12 ounce Budweiser curl, and i shit great. If I added exercise I'd probably never come out of the can.

I've never noticed a difference with my exercise and pooping. However, it does make me have to piss like a horny cat afterward!

Well, you don't actually blow on it. That's just an expression.

Postman, I'm sure your right arm is as big as Popeye's. Thank God for junk mail and bills huh?

I think, as did Neal Armstrong, that your heart is good for just so many beats in a lifetime. When you exercise it speeds up your heart, thus shortening your life. For a long and happy life kick back in front of the TV with a bag of chips and a gin & tonic.

Exercise speeds up your metabolism so I assume it does make a difference in pooping

It does, to some degree, depend on the exercise. Walking doesn't do it, but floor exercises - crunches, squats, etc. - they get the job done. Although I do notice a textural change from the norm on non-aerobic days.

The force of gravity and the increased metabolism both have an effect of opening the floodgates. Many times after a long hike through the hills, I return home to lay a large log. This doesn't always happen, which is why I put "sometimes" for my answer. Exercise has many benefits, one of which can be counted as large, solid poops!

I find that working with gravity helps me poop. I often enjoy a good poop in the morning. So to ensure this happens, some verticle time is required in order to proceed with my daily activities. I mean, I gotta poop before I start my day. I've discovered, that jumping up and down cuts my required verticle time in half--allowing me an extra 10 minutes of horizontal time. Thus I have concluded, that for maximum effiiency in my required morning poo, a good bounce on the trampoline does the trick.
