    The US really is the nation of extremes.

    You’ll go on a morning walk ond see women in their 70s who can run laps around you but drive 20 minutes to Walmart and you’ll see several people in their 50s on mobility scooters.

    That is one thing I noticed on a recent trip to Europe, there weren’t that many joggers. In most major cities on the US, especially in parks and scenic places, you’ll see a fair amount of joggers, but didn’t really see any in Europe besides barcelona.

    It seems in America were either training for a marathon or a hot dog eating competition.

      I wish Hollywood was more forthright about the use of exogenous anabolic compounds, as they have crafted a body image that is tough to live up to without using steroids, especially for older men. There are a few that are open about it, like Alan Richson, but it is almost never mentioned.
