People often ask how I have stayed slim and healthy over the years. I answer by saying I have never owned a car. Bicycling, walking, dancing and aerobics are all fun activities. They have all become an integral part of every day life for me. I don't have to plan a time for exercise.
Exercise is just a by-product of a lifestyle of moderate activity.
There is an old phrase that says people want to eat their cake and have it to. In reality, most people want to eat their cake and not have it to, not have it around the middle. An active lifestyle is a good way to achieve this, much better than dieting. Speaking of obesity, a lot of the fat in government and private companies is the cost of providing health care. Employee health plans, medicare and medicaid are big chunks of the cost of government.
