    The truth that may get you moving and keep you at it

    NE AFTERNOON not long ago, a friend and I were talking at her dining-room table, and Ill admit it, we were feeling a bit self-righteous. Wed gone bowling with her parents, and we both noticed her mom could barely roll the lightest ball down the alley. She struggled with a lot of other tasks, too. We didnt think of her as an elderly person. But there she was, looking feeble. Well, my friend said, shaking her head, she doesnt really exercise. I nodded knowingly. The way my friend and I see it, there are two kinds of people: exercisers and everyone else. We the exercisers prefer to sweat, not sit. They well call them the relaxers prefer to read, not run. They think were nuts. We think theyre slowly letting themselves wither.
