Despite the so-called "obesity epidemic", most people get enough exercise doing normal, everyday things. There's no actual need to do enforced gym exercise nor playing sports. Of course if you want to do it, then that's your choice, but it has been "proven" that too much exercise is bad for you. It's similar to the myth of needing to drink "8 glasses of water" everyday. Again, most people get enough water from their normal daily eating and drinking, and drinking too much extra water is also bad for you.

What is good for the goose is not necessary for the gander. One should get a complete physical and exam before starting any kind of exercise program, of course. BTW: "Nutter gym bunnies" don't have to have knee replacements due to standard exercise.

Again, as I said, "most", not "everyone" ... and drinking "8 glasses of water" is definitely a myth. I wasn't claiming to be a doctor, but in the past I have worked in the sports industry and with sportspeople.

Somebody freaked out one time > because I didn't recognize his street address. I can't say I've ever read Sherlock Holmes either, although I do have an old "minibook" (about 1.5in square and about 1in thick) that contains about three Sherlock stories. I have watched the two Benedict Cumberbatch TV series though and waiting for the third ... the Americanised version is rather silly and I gave up after about 10 minutes.

Glenne Headly gets no love again. Of course, Tess Trueheart is ignored
in the movie as well.
