I don’t exercise for longevity. I exercise in order to be strong and healthy enough to enjoy whatever scope of life is granted me.
I'm with you. I exercise because I feel better all around when I do. It stimulates not only the muscles but the mind as well.
It amazes how many FReepers scoff at exercise. There is only one major conservative in the media who regularly scoffs at exercise - Rush Limbaugh. I am guessing that too many FReepers succumb to his ridicule of exercise.
That said, most liberals hate conservatives who exercise and maintain their health. They see that as a threat, are afraid we healthy conservatives will live longer than them and don't believe we have a right to be healthy.
