“Myocarditis has been killing sports nuts and fitness freaks for decades. The stronger your heart is, the harder it hits.

“Paradoxically, you rarely hear of people with sedentary lifestyles being killed by it.”

That’s been true in my family. What is mildly amusing is that the most obnoxiously sanctimonious health and fitness freaks (in my family) are the ones who are dying first, and suffering with joint/back aches and pains.

I don't work out just to look like a sexy hunk of beef. I work out in order to keep playing and doing fun things outside.

We all die. I just don't want to die sitting on a couch. Maybe it will be a motorcycle mishap, mt. bike off the wrong drop, or ski into a tree. But we don't always get to choose. Only maybe mprove our chances of it NOT being on a couch.

God is in charge, ultimately.

To MayflowerMadam,
Cmon now, not taking sides here, but we rarely hear of sedentary people dying prematurely cause that is not a story worth hearing. Its assumed that the sedentary lifestyle is the cause. Dogs barking are never a story.
