Americans pursuing fitness well into retirement

Living to 80 or 90 is one thing. But blowing through those benchmarks at full speed on a bike, in the pool or in running shoes is quite another.

Accentuating the &quot;active&quot; in active retirement, Americans are rejecting the rocking chair <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-he-unstoppable26mar26,1,5466306,full.story?coll=la-utilities-health&amp;ctrack=1&amp;cset=true">http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-he-unstoppable26mar26,1,5466306,full.story?coll=la-utilities-health&amp;ctrack=1&amp;cset=true</a>;

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
