With that mentality humanity would just crumble. Might as well just pack our bags and say good bye if we begin to think like that... The idea behind working out is to make it easier for your body as you get older.

I want to be around for my son as long as possible.

Sorry. My response was based on the wording of these types of posts. Posts using the statement "less likely to die" annoy me a little because it's not actually true and it's not informative. Less likely to die in what time period? It would be so much more helpful if that kind of information was put in the title. I didn't mean to be snarky and I really appreciate these types of posts; just wish they were titled better.
