I just bought New Balance sneakers, these for $162.
Was going to buy Nike until I found out they support protests against the National anthem. But yeah, exercise, people have no idea how insanely insanely important it is when you get older. I use to be 100 pounds overweight and it was mind blowing how much my body shut down and I didn’t even realize it. For example , hearing and smell shut down. Libido, you can forget. Once I lost that weight it was just a huge WTF realization how much damage that extra weight does. Do whatever it takes to exercise, the human body is not built for a sedentary life. You are built to run so you can hunt. If you don’t do that, everything shuts down assuming you are sick.
my new faves, and what I consider the best running shoes I've ever worn are HOKA ONE ONE's
FWIW
