'Whenever I get the urge to excercise, I lie down until it passes.' (Mark Twain)

[mlbford2]

That's all I needed to hear (as I take off my running shoes, pop a beer and a bag of Cheetos and slouch into my beanbag.) Science, what a wonderful thing.

"I spend one day a week in the office and the rest of my time involved in a lot of relaxation.

I like that work schedule!

My brother-in-law will live forever!......

[RJS1950]

This is something my 20-year old cat figured out years ago.

"Axt and his daughter advise readers that gentle walking, their own preferred form of exercise, is sufficient to keep people in shape if combined with a sensible diet that is low in carbohydrates and high in protein."

I guess I'd better worry more about that whole retirement thingy.

BTTT so I can show this to my wife tonight.

To be sure, a lot more is known now about the unhealthy short and long-term consequences of overtraining but we seem to be talking about something very different here.

Note that the authors of "The Joy of Laziness" are German and the publisher of "The Idler" is a brit. This sounds to me like more the distillation of the spirit of Old Europe. Does anyone care to join them?

[Onelifetogive]

say that everybody has a limited amount of "life energy" and that the speed with which it is consumed determines their life span.

I wonder if a gene-splicing project between human and cats could increase our supply of "life energy" by a factor of 9???

[peacebaby]

That's it!

I'm going home and lie on the couch the rest of the day.

How bout running Marathons and being lazy?

Eating the right foods counters most of the ill effects of heavy excersise....but these idiots wont tell you that.

Genetics.

So Dick Cavett is interviewing Jimmy Hendrix, and Dick Cavett asks: "Well, what's the first thing you do in the morning?"

To which Jimmy Hendrix replied, "Well, I try to get up."

[Studebaker Hawk]

This great! I've been on the right track after all.

I was making this argument to my parents years ago. It's good to see that science has finally come around to my way of thinking.

[MikeHu]

It takes two to tangle.

Just as important as activity and stimulus, is rest and recovery -- the silence between the notes that makes music. Especially as people get older or live very busy lives, they need to recover from those challenges and stimuli. If an organism (person) is stimulated unceasingly, it begins to break down rather than grow stronger to accommodate these increased workloads.

The strongest guy in the room is almost never the guy picking fights with everybody. He's the guy who's so relaxed that nothing threatens him.
