Now it's time to feel guilty about being out of shape

Recently, a 76-year-old Nepalese man reached the summit of Mount Everest becoming the oldest person to ever do that. Everest is the tallest mountain in the world and is 29,035 feet high.

First of all, congratulations to that man. A young man would have to be physically fit to do that so for a person of his age to do it is an even more impressive accomplishment.

However, his achievement is making me squirm in my seat a little bit. Even if I had the desire to do so, there is no way my physical condition would let me climb that mountain. Right now, I get a rapid heart beat by walking to the mailbox. I break into a sweat when taking a shower.

Summer is almost here. There is no excuse not to exercise.

People, get off the couch and get to work.
