Exercise Will Kill You

“There are a lot of people out there looking for any excuse not to exercise. This might be an excuse for them to say, ‘Oh, I must be one of those 10 percent.’”
 — William Haskell, emeritus professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, expresses concern about a series of studies which show that rigorous exercise actually harms the health of about 10 percent of people who attempt it. Are you part of the 10 percent? Almost certainly. So relax, it’s good for you.
