... Duh? This is pretty obvious news. Do healthy activities, get exercise, and gasp, you might avoid having bad things happen to your health!
No kidding! Why is this news?! I keep hoping to learn something new on this site, but so far, nothing but obvious correlations between exercise and good health and a new blame for obesity every other week - the "fatso" gene, the "obesity" gene, the "compulsion to stuff your face with Twinkies" gene. Geez Louise. People need to wake up and stop making excuses for being unhealthy or overweight. I am 34, 5'4" and in January weighed 210 and I got there by eating too much and not exercising. Now I'm at 197 and exercising 3-5 days a week. It's slow, but it can be done!
OK, but how do get them to keep the leash a round their neck?
They kinda want to run around sticking their nose into everything.
Walking is the best. What I don't understand is why more employers, churches, and senior groups don't sponser walking groups. It wouldn't cost anything and it would keep women safer.
