I Can't Afford To Die. It Would

On One Of My Birthdays I Did 1,000 Chin-ups And 1,000 Push-ups. For My 70th Birthday I Towed 70 Boats With 70 People In It, My Feet And Hands Tied-my Hands Were In Handcuffs, My Feet Were Tied Together-and I Towed These Boats A Mile-and-a-half In Long Beach Harbor. For My 93rd Birthday I'm Going To Tow My Wife Across The Bathtub.

Physical Fitness Takes Commitment To Exercise Just As It Requires Good Nutrition. But It Doesn't Have To Be Painful. Just The Opposite: Vigorous Exercise Actually Is Stimulating. It Boosts Your Energy Levels, Invigorates Your Mind, And Just Feels Good Afterward. The Hardest Part, Of Course, Is Getting Started.

Twelve To Seventeen Minutes Is Plenty On The Treadmill--if It's Done Fast. That's All You Need For Cardiovascular Benefit. You Don't Need To Spend That Extra Time Unless You Are Over Weight And You Need To Burn Off Extra Calories. Do It Vigorously, Like Somebody Is Chasing You. You've Got To Do It Hard. Otherwise, If You Just Take It Easy And Do It Longer, You Are Spending All That Time When You Don't Need It. Use That Extra Time With Your Weights Instead.

By Exercise. I'll Tell You One Thing, You Don't Always Have To Be On The Go. I Sit Around A Lot, I Read A Lot, And I Do Watch Television. But I Also Work Out For Two Hours Every Day Of My Life, Even When I'm On The Road.

There Are So Many Health Nuts Out There Who Eat Nothing But Natural Foods But They Don't Exercise And They Look Terrible. Then There Are Other People Who Exercise Like A Son-of-a-gun But Eat A Lot Of Junk... Exercise Is King. Nutrition Is Queen. Put Them Together And You've Got A Kingdom.
