Fitness is very important off course. And sometimes you have no choice but be fit or be doomed.

A few days ago, I was listening to some stories told by Syrian refugees. One of them was middle aged and he said that ISIS attacked their areas and they had to run with nothing but clothes on their backs.

Not only they had to run for themselves, they had to carry with them their elederly and handicapped folks.

That was a real-life reminder of the nescessity of being fit, which I am not !!

About a year and half ago, my brothers and I had to take care of our late father , and in that process got myself a knee problem.

Survival situations will be much more stressful.
So, definitely , we have to work on improving or body fitness to survive.
