I'm guessing here, but 12 ounce curls don't help....

You'd be wrong. Those are a valuable part of any credible Life Fulfillment Plan. (so long as it's good beer)

James Fixx: dead at 52. Massive heart attack after his daily run.

"runners exercised as much as 200 minutes a week, compared to 20 minutes for the non-runners"

First they need to tell me whether 200 minutes of sex per week is as healthful as running.......

don't want to take up running unless the more desireable alternatives have been fully considered!!

You beat me too it. But that isn't the only case I know of, there are some I know personally. Knee replacement is a big problem for runners too.

Walking yes, because it makes me feel energized, but running? No thanks

[Paleo Conservative]

I used to run, but since my back surgery, it hurts too much so now I swim.

On the other hand, he outlived his father by a decade.

I’m only running if the thing that’s chasing me is going to eat me.

Speaking as someone who once had a dream about playing a doctor on tv, my professional advice to you is to continue on your exercise regimen and avoid running lest it cut into your current program's effectiveness.

Try to tell that to Isaac Hayes.

Thank you! The Jim Fixx thing is SO stupid. You can’t change genetics by running...but you can make the most of what you have by exercising. People who want an excuse to not exercise LOVE this stupid, misused example.

[ThomasThomas]

Exercise is for people who don't do enough work. Mow your own lawn, wash your car yourself. You ladies forget the washing machine and get a scrub board. Men raise your own beef.

This might be one topic that I willing to be a little moderate on. Maybe.

I can go farther and faster on a bike.

Just ask J Fix.....woops ya cant hes dead

I’m 52 and run 5 miles every weekday morning. As long as I don’t get hit by a car, I’m hoping I’ll last a good, long time.

Interval training....slow, fast, slow, fast, slow, fast.

Running will help me live longer? The way I run, maybe not.
