The real question: is there anyone out there that really debates that exercising constantly = better, longer life?

I'm 63 and a bit overweight. But I have lost 50 lbs in the last 2 years. Wife and I try to exercise for 50 to 70 minutes a day Monday-Friday. We are up at 4:30 am and at the gym at 5:10.
We feel better doing this for ourselves. Some weekends we go to the gym and usually, when we do we stay longer.
I'm a believer.

Nobody credible.
The real question is how do you get people of their ass and start exercising?
This includes me, I feel much better on days I make it to the gym.

Just because the high level effects of a study like this are commonly understood, and predictable, it doesn't mean the science isn't valuable! Digging deeper into things like this helps us understand our inner workings better and has immense value (not speaking to this particular study - just in general).

I'm with you but why so insanely early? 6:00am is early; at 4:30 you're waking up before the crack of dawn!
Heck, I'm lucky if I can be asleep by 4:30am...

Well done you. 50 lbs is huge.
Since you are up so early and only have 40mins from waking up to gym, mind sharing your diet too (what you eat when)?

The real question is: how much better, how much longer? A priori any real-valued metric has a 50% chance of being net positive, but that doesn't mean the effect will be large enough to matter.

Stop treating it as exercise and take up a physically active hobby. Hill walking, cycle touring, squash etc.
