Add to that the time spent in front of the computer, for work or recreation. Plus video games. Plus sitting down any other time for eating etc...

It's not the sitting, it's not the hours of inactivity. It's the crap programming - the content is so bad, it strips YEARS off yer life!

I watch between 5 and 18 hours of tv a day. Some is while working in the garage. I watch a lot more in winter than summer because I dont go outside in the cold. Im pretty healthy. My doctor who does my annuals says physically im more of a 40something than the 60something I am. I dont take ANY meds, wear glasses, use hearing aid. In summer I do a lot of hiking and biking. I also have all my hair, which is now gray. My weight is dead on what its supposed to be. My only thing is I wish I could redistribute some...take some stomach fat and move it around to arms and legs, lol. Guess a tummy is just an age thing your stuck with.

The Tummy thing they say is sugar/carbs causing "visceral fat" under the abs.

Do they do some sort of a special heart test?
I wonder what would measure the damage of inactivity.
*The only thing I can think of is heart disease/ blood pressure/ etc .. and similar circulatory things due to build up. Like a car with carbon build up, gotta exercise to blow the carbon out


I have heard a stat too that marathon runners over do their heart and joints. Its a balance for sure.

Well, I guess that means I've got about another month. I guess you can have the chair, maryjane.
