Why you should NOT workout

OP is talking sense.
That's why athletes have chronic pain when they are older, and football players sometimes experience symptoms of brain damage when older.
Gymnasts are short.
Look at Muhammad Ali.
Bruce Lee died young too even though he was so fit.

First of all I fixed your offensive language...second of all those are irrelevant points.

- Gymnasts are short because only the best of the best make it to the big stage and that includes having the genetic factors necessary to be the best. i.e. short and lean.

- Muhammad Ali's brain injury was caused by head trauma from a contact sport.

- Bruce Lee died of cerebral edema.

None of these are related AT ALL to heart rate. Did you even read the post?

You don't pick up on sarcasm well, do you?

In........for the serious replies! :drinker:

I think you maybe on to something. I hear of joggers collapsing and dying while jogging, therefore jogging must be bad for you! Come to think of it, they are also the ones who find dead bodies on trails. Glad I'm not a jogger!

Heard on the interwebz that we are all born with a certain number of heartbeats. So if you exercise, your heart beats faster to your early demise.

If a clock, a clutch, an IPad has s shelf life, then it makes sense that the heart as a shelf life.

What say you?

Beware everyone. Don't exercise, don't fall in love, don't get mad and don't go on roller coasters. In fact, just lock yourself in your room and avoid the world or you're gonna shave at least 6 weeks off your life expectancy!

'You may be given a finite number of beats, BUT exercise lowers resting heart rate, SO that means the body uses less beats per minute in a fit person versus an un-fit person, SO that means the higher heart rate that occurs for, roughly, a half hour per day in your cardio routine is a drop in the bucket, IF your resting heart rate is slow enough, SO invalid argument on your part. Nice try.

I call bullsh!t.

Even if it were true, I'd honestly rather die young and healthy and looking /feeling great, then live to be a hundred with crap health, no energy and weak muscles.
