Aren't you supposed to consult a physician before beginning an exercise regimen?

Vicious cycle anyone?

Personally, if I didn't have access to a doctor (i.e. if I couldn't afford one), I'd be damned if I'd do any serious exercise in fear of getting injured or aggravating a latent medical problem. Oh, sure, I'd walk a lot, but I wouldn't lift weights or do intense cardio (which is far more beneficial than walking alone.)

rahl, it is quite possible that premiums will go up, but it's also possible they will remain stable. It's hard to predict. But how many reforms go untouched without refinements? If the system is broken, you fix it. You don't avoid it completely in fear of it not working they way you want it to. Most things worth doing have risks involved.
