The paradox of working out to live longer

You might live longer

But a fair amount of that time was spent working out

Instead of time not spent working out by those who might live less

So in the end it's about the same either way

Just don't be fat, and you'll live longer.

If your right leg is Thanksgiving and your left leg is Christmas, can I come and visit you between the holidays?

Improved quality of life, when I wake up in the morning I feel like shit, I felt way better when I was fitter.

This is why I counter that with copious amounts of steroids to reduce the extra time I would have gotten so it's a 0 sum game
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."
