At least I've not been sedentary for the last seven years. I've spent a small fortune on personal trainers at a local health club working on a bodybuilding program. I've been amazed at the results!

But I wouldn't set foot in a health club until I was 57 years old. Largely because of the completely negative experience of the mandatory P.E. of my youth. An experience that was shared by many other nonathletic guys of my generation.
