"Mens sana in corpore sano", says 10000th study :) The real question: is there anyone out there that really debates that exercising constantly = better, longer life?
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.
You don't. You wait for them until they decide and act on their decision.

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.
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)?

A little chocolate a couple times a week.
Was pre-diabetic and no longer am. My blood chemistry has never been better. Total cholesterol is around 120 and triglycerides are around 70. I do take a statin.
I have two doctors that support my diet. One a internist and one a cardiologist.
I get up and sit in the dark for 10 to 15 minutes. I drink two cups of mild coffee. Some morning eat 1/2 oz almonds before going to the gym. Some mornings I eat nothing.
Breakfast is usually two scrambled eggs with some meat (can be chicken, salmon, beef, turkey). Small amount of cheese. Some mornings egg and a half (the whites of one.).

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...

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