ok so i read walknlites post about getting some exercise. andy lays in bed all day. sleeps most of the day but does get up to get on computer-has to read the n.y. papers-for about 30 minutes. he is up about 1 hour each day, the rest is in bed.

i have been making him stay in bed. when he gets up, i tell him to lay down...that he needs to rest. i didnt realize he needed exercise...just rest. am i hurting him???

i also do not let him do anything around the house. i didnt want him to over exert himself. if he tries to do anything, i make him stop. should i let him do stuff?? he always says that he wants to help because im doing too much, so i just took it that he really doesnt feel like doing anything but he felt guilty that i had to do everything.

geez...please let me know what yall think on this subject. how much exercise (i would think walking)???
should i let him do stuff around the house?? he basically did all the cooking, dusting and floors (we have tile floors)-i did the kitchen/bathrooms and laundry.
we have a track right by the house, and since i definately need exercise (i wanted to start running again-my passion) should i take him and let him walk while i run???
