I especially find this misleading w the single stmt about orthopedic problems never 'materializing.' At the age of 23 I was told to stop running for good bc of severe disc herniations that I had to have operated on. I also know another person as a teenager who had stress fractures all the way up her spine for the same reason. There is plenty of evidence that shows links w high impact exercise and skeletal damage (not to mention muscles injury, repeated strains, chronic pain.) I think it's irresponsible to treat this so flippantly in the article. I think it’s misleading to tout running and then appear to simply glom on add’l exercise/activity.

Beyond the obvious physical benefits, the stress reduction and sense of well being I feel make it all the more worth it. I guess the point is to find your pleasureable activity and go do it. Mix it up and between several and it's even better. <a href="http://www.ultimatehlth.com/About.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ultimatehlth.com/About.html</A> This is absolutely fantastic news, probably because I love to run.
