Just sit down!

As if the death of Jim Fixx years ago weren't warning enough, the headlines following yesterday's Great North run should be enough to convince you that exercise is rubbish. Get on your sofa and roll a phatty.

Four men die in Great North Run

Four men have died while taking part in the 25th Great North Run, police said.

The men were among 50,000 people running the 13-mile course in soaring temperatures from Newcastle to South Shields on Sunday. Northumbria Police said there had been no major incidents during the event and the deaths were unrelated.

People die yearly in the race. Its not going to convince people to be unfit, these people die because they take it on when they're not fit enough.

Sorry about your cat, though i should have posted in the other section.

If exercise is so good for you, why do you look and feel so crap at the end of it?

In the Original Marathon, the poor sucker died at the end of it, so what are these people doing? Trying to prove that evolution and time have made us better?
They're asking for a cold slp from reality.
