I believe others (who don't train) can benefit by seeing some of these reasons. You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Mick,

I don't put a hard sell on anyone, but I've shared stories like this. Not effective. The sheer extremity seems to cause a mental disconnect. It's almost like they think, "Oh, sure, if I was in *that* situation, I would prioritize things differently. But I'm doing well enough as is." Strangely, these are very motivational for me (and I work hard to stay fit), but that makes them seem like preaching to the choir. Anyone else had this reaction? Has anyone had any luck "converting" mildly dumpy middle-agers to fitness through one of these amazing stories? I'm all ears for suggestions.

No matter what the doctors tells us. If we are mental strong, and there is a will. This shows how we all can continue after no matter what happens to us. No matter what the doctors tells us.
