Of course I don't believe that you are nuts for working out. And I don't think that you are nuts for brushing your teeth. That was yesterday's post. I think that any sensible person will take care both of his or her body and mouth.

I am trying to emphasize that we take oral health seriously far more often than  physical. It's difficult to understand how or why, but we do.

Possibly most folks believe that it takes too much time to do daily workouts. Perhaps this time SHOULD be spent on more "mature" activities. If so, our our more sedenatry critics may think we're nuts for acting like high school kids who are out for track. (I confess that I feel rather young in a negative sense for championiong this cause. I should be doing something more mature, so it FEELS.)

It is inconceivable that so many nowadays seem to put their bodies on hold, thinking that the MD or some new drug will take care of them. How is this possible unless these folks who don't work out have NEVER worked out. Maybe that's why they just don't know what feeling good feels like.

My belief is that attitudes more than anything keep people away from health clubs and gyms. There is something like a physical apathy which is out there. (Have a great day means take it easy like they used to say, right?) But maybe it all comes from trying and failing. I am not sure.
 
All that I do know is that I have been at it since I was obese and have never regretted it. That was 45 years ago. And my performance today is far superior to what it was in high school.

That's why I am so pro-Jack Lalnne. He is 95 and still does 2 hour a day workouts. This is incredible enough, as if his barge pulling in the SanFrancisco Bay doesn't even count. The most important thing about him is that he is living proof that you don't get worse with age. You only get better just like him! (And that is probably another big reason why more people don't do their daily routine : they think that it will age them drastically or shorten their lives.)
