My father was never very active and his health started to deteriorate from about age 40. I promised myself that I would never let my health deteriorate due to something I didn't do. My wife encourages me to stay in shape and she is also pretty good about keeping in shape. We figure it's better to do this than to spend our old age crippled by heath problems. Finally, since I work a desk job, it's a nice change to get out and do something in the countryside.
