I completely agree with this theory. My grandma's going to be 95 this year and still swims and walks daily! Has been since she retured in 1971!!!

Also, my dad is a very healthy guy, but quit exercising regularly when he retired in 2000. Long story short ... had an angioplasty last fall and his dr. told him to get back into a regular exercise routine. And he did, at age 69! That's part of my reasoning to start working out again and to get to a healthy place.

Genetics -- what a pain!
