Three days a week to a healthy heart

[CentralCaliBike]

We probably have heard it before but there is a new study that says three days of "gentle" exercise (such as cycling or jogging) a week will lower the risk of dying (from heart disease primarily) by 60% over a six year period. Since my knees are damaged from snow skiing, cycling is the only option.

Amen, brother!

Proper diet and exrcise are the fountain of youth.

Try swimming, too.

Try swimming, too.

I used to for three hours a day - not near as mentally stimulating (but it was great exercise).

If you work on form, I find it's not boring at all. I just like the water, too.
