Regarding Mr. Fixx’s arteries:

Despite having cholesterol levels above 250, Fixx demurred for reasons we can only guess at. In the several months before his death, Fixx ignored what hindsight reveals were the warning signs of advanced coronary artery disease. An autopsy revealed blockage in Fixx’s three main arteries of 95 percent, 85 percent and 50 percent.

I guess I’m doubly screwed even though I exercise a lot—not only do I sit on my ass all day reading Free Republic, I do all my exercise while sitting down (I bicycle ten miles a day).

“Actually, you’d probably have fewer, as you would tend to build musculature that would help support the back.”

Yes, maybe if I worked up to it slowly.
