My serious question is why are you stating that people can actually improve their joints by lifting heavy weights? This causes a lost of fluids from the disks, this in turn allows the bones to rub together in the thinned disks wearing the disks through and causing arthritis. It isn't as if this isn't one of the most common aging diseases. If you wish to lift weights go right ahead. You might be one of those genetically lucky enough to have thick enough disks that you will not have ill effects from it in your lifetime. And you can be also have the genetic make-up to not overstress your circulatory system, generate blood clots and have a stroke or pulmonary embolism.

Why have you misrepresented my postings which plainly said that moderate exercise is good for you? Your belief that extreme exercise is good for you is contradicted in every emergency room In the world ever single day. 70% or more of the elderly population is suffering from some form of arthritis and this is NOT helped by exercise though it can relieve some symptoms in some people.
