Dad Never Exercises
QUESTION: "I need some advice about exercise. I’m an avid runner, and I run about 3K each day. My father, though, has never exercised a day in his life. He’s 85 now, and feels exercise is a silly notion of my generation. In his day, “work was exercise.” The problem is that he no longer works. In fact, he sits all day reading, eating and watching television. Nothing he does would be considered physical work. Is there any way to convince him that he’s on a slippery slope?" - READER
