  • Question
    Exercising breaks after studying is a good thing, but if watching a drama stresses you out, should your study breaks consist of TV and exercise?
    Community Answer
    Don't do it if it stresses you out and affects your studying. But if you do, you should exercise during the commercials so you don't have to miss your show.

    What's the average weight for a woman?

    For an American woman, it is around 168.5 pounds. This does not count as the healthy weight you should aim for, though. If you are trying to aim for a healthy weight, you need to determine your height and age. These things factor your personal healthy weight, as not all females are the same. Google "ideal weight calculator". You should also consider how much muscle you have. Muscle weighs more than fat and can affect your healthy weight goal.

    Can you do this while watching YouTube?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you could connect a device that can play YouTube videos to your television screen or mount a tablet on an exercise machine. It's best to do this with YouTube videos that play for at least as long as your workout or use Autoplay, so that you can focus more on exercising than selecting videos.
