Mick Jagger thanked the staff at the hospital following his emergency heart valve replacement. I suspect this was Mick’s first time in the hospital. He seems very healthy for an old man. In fact, all The Rolling Stones seem oddly healthy. When I imagine myself in a rock band (and you know I do), I get as far as imagining the bathroom facilities on the tour bus private jet (my imaginary rock band: very successful) and it all falls apart. Do they make private jets that have a bathroom for every member of the band? I don’t think they do.
I believe I have been to the doctor more in the past month than Mick Jagger has in his entire life. One visit to the GP was canceled, but the neurologist visit begat an OB-GYN visit and an extra blood test in two weeks.
I understand that Mick devotes much of his time to a very intense training regimen. The neurologist pointed out my lack of exercise as just one example of my non-compliance to doctor’s orders. It’s just hard to spend a half hour a day when there is no result. No muscle gain, no fat loss, even after three months of it. I suppose Mick is the result of fifty years of it.
The crummy thing is that 30 min a day isn't enough for there to be any physical change for me. Which I know mainly because I've been doing 30 min pretty rigorously and seeing the lack of change.
My guess is that for there to be a physical change, at least for me, it would have to be at least an hour of rigorous exercise daily, plus a diet change. Which would be a lot easier if I didn't get hungry.

Grace - it’s supposed to be great for stress relief. I get more stressed when I exercise. The thing is, I have to do it for my 90 years old self. That’s when it’s all going to pay off.
