You may think I'm being condescending but I'm not. This is not my judgment of you or anyone else; these are the cold, hard facts of life.

If you don't keep your body in shape, it WILL fall apart on you. An investment in your body is an investment in your future. You can either be the 70 year old who runs marathons, or the 70 year old with a walker. The choice is yours.

There are a million reasons why it can't be done, but the funny thing is, when someone wants something bad enough, he tends to find ways to make it work.

I'm sure you can keep heaping more and more things on our fictional family straw man until it's impossible for him to do anything at all. That's fine. There's always one more reason why it can't be done or shouldn't even be attempted. But life is quite indifferent to our reasons, and plods on just the same whether we're in control or not.

It's really no skin off my nose how other people live their lives. I'm just pointing out the creeping dangers that lie ahead.
