Sports are good, but not all give you an all round workout. You have to do a mix of exercises as well, I think. I like kayaking, hiking in the mountains and rock-climbing, for example. But I still do strenuous martial arts routines for additional aerobic training, and lots of strength training as well.
I think a truly healthy body is a wonderful thing to possess - our minds inhabit our bodies, and if the body isn't up to par, it affects the mind as well. I think 'modern humans' live a most unhealthy lifestyle - not from choice, but from necessity - what with the pressures of work, earning a living, etc. people don't always have the time to be fit. Such a pity, in it's way.

Hmm, did anyone hear this one:
A human looked at a dolphin and thought the dolphin was stupid because the human spent his whole day inventing things and working hard, while the dolphin just played around and had a great time.
And the dolphin thought the human was stupid for exactly the same reason
Well, it's just a joke, but there's quite a thought behind it, don't you think?
