Post One Twin Exercises, the Other Doesn’t

Identical twins in Finland who shared the same sports and other physical activities as youngsters but different exercise habits as adults soon developed quite different bodies and brains, according to a fascinating new study that highlights the extent to which exercise shapes our health, even in people who have identical genes and nurturing.

It was a great article! I'm sending it to my dad, a lifelong exerciser who has recently gotten out of the habit.

...But is anyone else tired of the characterization of non-exercisers as people who spend their days "slumping on the couch?" Not engaging in regular formal workouts doesn't make somebody automatically lazy or a couch potato! (Thinking about my FIL, who worked in a factory for 40 years, and my mom, a woodworker and furniture restorer. And the gazillions of busy moms in the world!)
