I can't believe that anyone who was ever interested in sport would give it up. See here. Nor, frankly, can I believe that anyone is not interested in sport. I've been athletic my entire life. I've played just about every sport, some at a high level. At 49, I'm in the best physical shape of my life, without question. I weigh what I weighed in my 20s. My resting heart rate is in the low to mid-40s. I have never smoked; I have had no alcohol since 1978; I take no medications; I have had no animal products other than chicken, fish, and eggs since 1981. I can't imagine not exerting. When I hurt my back in early April and had to stop running for a few weeks (I was able to bicycle, fortunately), I was miserable. To live is to exert; to exert is to live. Get off your couch!
