If minimizing the risk of dying is anywhere prominent on a list of
goals that are being pursued with any degree of rationality, then one
would expect nearly all of us to exercise vigorously and regularly.
The exceptions are the ones who are obviously physically disabled or
are battling some other disease that gets in the way.  I know of one
or two people who fit in this category.  I suppose the people who sign
up for cryonics expectting to die soon are usually exceptions, but I
rarely get to know them.

I like my exercise program, so I'm not speaking for myself.

I know more than a few cryonicists, but I haven't calculated any
statistics.  If someone who knows 10 or more cryonicists disagrees
with me, I'd like to know.  On the average we're kinda heavy, and the
weight ain't muscle; this is blindingly obvious.
