| “Ah, the truth about exercise?” He replies, “Well, I suspect that exercise is more often a marker of health than its cause — healthy people like to exercise more than unhealthy people to start with. And the real value of it is not in terms of abstract health benefits like longevity — and extra few hours or maybe months — but because it feels good when you do it or when it’s over. To hell with Hygeia; the truth lies in pleasure.” | |
