Exercise - The futility

    If I do 1 hours exercise everyday for say the next 30 years of my life I might live longer.

    Now lets look at that, if I run continuously for 65 weeks over 30yrs I'll get a few extra weeks when I'm 80, but are they equal to the weeks wasted running in circles when I was in my prime?

    Swap a week drinking and chorousing now for a week 30 years from now p1ssing yourself and dribbling. What do you think?

    I think I'll go to the bar. Excercise is stupid.

    Agreed. Futile plus a self expulsion from BGRH.
    Non-sensical.

    Though i find some benefit from the trips to the fridge for libation ( when missus not on premises obviously ) Goodies are to be found there!

    Also alternating arms whilst embibing performs the dual role of RSI prevention and sensory backup ( is there sufficient in can for a good swally or should i send for new one now?)

    Stop the lights there boss! I hope your not insinuating that I exercise? :eek:

    Them's fighting words where I come from, but you're lucky, I don't live there anymore. :D

    No, a guy I work with is an exercise fanatic and a few of us were trying to convince him of the futility of his actions. He couldn't see the flaw in swapping time in the prime of his life for possible time in the twilight years.

    yeah, but then, you wont be nagged to do any house work, go down to the shop to get what she forgot earlier, cut the grass, fix what she broke, etc etc.

    i'm looking forward to that, plus when you get to that stage, you can say whatever the feck you want, whenever you want, to who ever you want.

    i'm just biding my time here.

    I get the feeling you're preaching to the choir on this one...

    Sorry to off topic Hagar, but there's a wee lesson to be learnt here...

    She nags, you go to pub. Rules is rules.

    Bit of a contentious one this, on one hand it could be construed as exercise, on the other - an excuse to drink more to slake your rabid thirst.

    PUUUULEEASE.

    I'd prefer not to spend more time in nappies, childhood was bad enough. The day i can no longer wipe my hole is hte day ill stop breathing.

    Live fast, die young, leave a wonderful stain.

    The thing about excersise is that it doesn't just let you live longer, it keeps you in your prime longer. So an while the average 80 year old is drooling and pissing themselves from senility. The 80 year old who excerised is going to be drooling and pissing themselves from the 3 bottles of whiskey they drank with their breakfast.

    Plus daily excersise is easy, simply run straight to the pub when you get home from work. For extra benefit jump up and down at the bar, also ensuring you get your pint as quickly as possible. If you're feeling really energetic, run to the chipper afterwards too, thus beating the queues. And finally walking in a swaying zigzagging manner means you walk further, so walking home is great excersise too.

    I'm pretty sure this is what they mean by "cross-training"

    Right lads I'm going to make this as simple as possible to understand.
    Exercise=better body which in turn equals MORE SEX. Who cares about living longer we all know what we are after.
