Yeah, it’s a trade-off. I trained for 40 years, ran for nearly 30,000 miles, and the knees did finally tighten up a bit. But my Quack says the heart in the pic is 15 years younger than the guy using it. And I’m in better shape than the same Quack. He won’t let me use his huff and puff machine anymore since I blew the top off of it. And we don’t talk about blood pressure anymore either-—his walmart sphygmomanometer can’t squeeze hard enough to collapse an artery. And the brain works good enough to avoid the clotshots so it’s all good.
