[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought the best return on investment was with education and your career pursuits.  But I get your point. Part of me feels that being active and physical begins in your youth.  I played outside growing up and did youth sports then athletics in high school.  Intramurals in college.  From that basis, physical fitness has just always been a priority.  My diet is fair and I know you can't outwalk a bad diet, so that is a focus for 2026.  If you get out of the routine esp older, very difficult to resume even moderate activity.  [/quote]

I wish that all kids were more exposed to health and fitness, and created a life-long habit.  The parents set the examples, and society can help by funding programs to keep kids active.

My brother (now 59) was always interested in music and theater.  My parents never encouraged him to try sports or do anything active.  I feel bad that he grew up thinking that fitness was for jocks.  So he's always been pretty sedentary.  He walks their dog, and that is pretty much it, which is so sad to me.  His health is pretty good, but he doesn't have the joy that comes from having a daily fitness routine.  I am age 56 and have always exercised (every day for at least 60 minutes), and really value the joy that it brings to my life.  I have always worked full-time and have 3 kids.  I just made it a priority to always exercise every day -- it can be done.[/quote]
