Those people are just looking for a reason not to get exercise, and are better off dying around their mid 50s.

Exercise is hard. We used to have to do it, you know, to like eat and stuff. I would be willing to bet that if you grabbed a prehistoric man and dropped him into now with all the luxuries modern life affords, he, himself, would be loathe to exercise.

You have to want it. People who do "7 minute exercises" don't want anything. They can't even find value in prolonging their life, or living more healthy, or goddammit even looking better.

There is no fragmented advice, no magic bullet. If you want to be healthy, you have to work for it. Period.

I assume this is intended as snark, but still... a little extreme.


Why would you say something like that?


Like what? I said a lot of things.


"Those people are just looking for a reason not to get exercise, and are better off dying around their mid 50s."

It's a ridiculous statement. Life expectancy, even among those who do not regularly exercise, is greater than 50. My mom is 70, and the most exercise she's ever gotten was from walking (and not for fitness, just around the block, or meandering through the mall). She certainly would not have been better off dying in her 50s.
