A funny messge on health and exercising

HEALTH MESSAGE:

1. If walking/cycling is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water and is fat.
3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.
4. A tortoise doesn't run, does nothing ..yet lives for 450 years.

AND
YOU TELL ME TO EXERCISE!

    1. Our bodies accommodate the stress that we place upon it. I have seen women go to Aerobics classes for years and they have never lost a pound. Using the PET (perceived exertion scale) the fitness enthusiast must break through the plateau that often happens.

    2. A horse eats grass and water and has an most impressive accumulation of muscle and grace. Simply magnificent marvels Grass and Water?

    3. A rabbit has a heart rate of approximately 350 BPM. A mouse 700, humans 70 and an elephant 30. That fact alone affects the longevity of an animal. The amorous activities of a rabbit would kill most species prematurely

    4.The cellular structure of Tortoises does not die as quickly as most creatures. They are cold blooded, have lower heart rates and are able to adapt to their environment easily. They can wait until their habitat improves. Talk about perseverance.

    I had nothing to do so I decided to pontificate about subjects that I know nothing about. As an 17 year old young man, I memorized and applied my Funk & Wagnalls from Aardvark to Zygote. While alone, they were my hours of illumination and joy.

    But that is another story.
