Obsessively working out isn't good, but regularly working out is. To be ripped takes a huge commitment, but just being is pretty good shape isn't that hard. 3-4 times per week of working out with weights is important. I think not enough people understand that building some muscle is really good for you, because I increases the amount of sugar you can store in your muscles. Thus, you don't automatically convert excess carbs to fat. In my experience, women especially don't get this. They think they just need to get on the treadmill for 45 min every day, and then they are dejected when they don't see the results they think they should. Biking sports, etc, are awesome, and are really good for you, but weights are equally important for overall health and fitness.
