For myself, I puffed on a tossed smoking butt left by my dad at around 5-6 years old, immediately started coughing wretchedly, and never did it again; having instantly determined smoking wasn't good and maybe dad wasn't so bright. ATTN Les: resurrect some old Marine pack, 1 full canteen, and your 'possibles bag' and do 10,000 steps a day; wear a poncho or waterproof serape on rainy days to keep your flint-rifle powder dry! That's all the workout you'll need! "Semper Fi"tness BBY! I'll be with U in spirit!7

You bring up a good point. I’d say most of today’s health problems stem from a sedentary life style more than anything else. Take congestive heart failure for instance, it isn’t so much a disease than it is a symptom of sitting on your ass all day. You have to keep moving, hike, bike, walk in the park, go mushroom hunting, swim, fish, do something besides watch TV or drive to the doctors office.
