Interesting commentary Mike, and one I share in principle with 
you.  I picked up the gauntlet for personal well-being 35 years ago....and have 
steadily improved since.  While I have aged, it has been a graceful, linear 
occurrence....manifesting through a gradual loss of lean muscle tissue/brute 
strength and loss of flexibility (more specifically in the upper body 
articulating joints). plus a marked reduction in short-term memory (most 
especially regarding subject matter of moderate import). I have enjoyed 
pronounced resistance to pathogenic insult, retained/increased my terminal 
fatigue index (*stamina), my deductive and inductive mental talents, keen 
eyesight----and optimism regarding human destiny.  It would be remiss of me not 
to endorse/recommend such a course as the one you have just proposed.
                      Sincerely, Brooks.
