I met your mom at the pole dancing classes, let's just say she knows what she is doing.

OT:Usually parents that work 5-6 days a week are far to tired after work to even consider working out, trust me when you move out of the house (provided you still live at home) they will be more inclined to work out cause they have the time now. An even though there is nothing wrong with caring that your parents are healthy remember they are adults and have their own opinions, if you feel actually concern I would confront your parents, and chances are (depending on your age) they will level with you and actually tell you how they feel.

I never tried because I don't need to. My grandma takes her strolls throughout the day and my dad or someone else usually accompanies her. When I take the BART home, my dad always picks me up by riding the bike to the station and walks with me the way back. So I guess that's considered exercise.

I tried making my mom learn how to hula hoop.
She still can't.

My dad, even if he is a computer programmer who doesn't exercise much, is significantly stronger than me, a black belt in Tae Kwan Do o.o

Oh well, he is a man, so muscles are generally stronger, and I cannot confirm that he doesn't exercise.

My dad's a carpenter/handyman.
I'm sure he doesn't need the extra exercise.

This, on Basilmarket? Usually, it'd be teenagers making threads about how their parents are making them exercise.
