I don't think anybody who works out is under the assumption that they will live to be 130+ years old.

We're all very well aware of babies with Cancer these days. Anything can happen.

But one thing's for certain, being active certainly prolongs life. That much I think we can all be sure of at this point.

How many true couch potatoes do you know that have made it past the ripe old age of 90? 80 even?

what we can be sure of is that being active improves the quality of life. Hell is not being able to move.
