Why is it important to stay in good cardiovascular shape?

Do you think most guys in their 20s should be able to stay in good shape without working out, just by...?

  • making sure they don't eat too much or eat too bad? I think for this age group working out shouldn't be needed to be in good shape, it's should only be needed to be in GREAT shape

  • Answer:

    Working out in the gym is merely a replacement for physical labour much of which has disappeared in today's workplace. Before all this mechanisation people would do physical workouts on a daily basis even at home. Now we have remote control this and that and new labour saving devices appear everyday. Add to this health and safety regulations and you are veering towards a sedentary lifestyle which is not how man was designed to be. People in poorer nations are less likely to be fat and more likely to be fit. Even walking and climbing stairs are becoming a thing of the past in developed countries. So the answer to your question has to be that eating habits are only a small part of the equation in a modern day lifestyle in the developed nations.

Working out is always needed for staying in good shape. If you aren't working out you aren't in good shape. You can be on the outside but definatly not on the inside. But it depends on what your definition of good shape is. I have always had to bust my hump to stay thin and look good and I'm 19. Not everyone has it made and to say that ALL shouldn't have to work out to stayi n good shape is basically nieve OR saying something is wrong with people who do have to work hard. Welcome to reality, not everyone is perfect without having to lift a finger. -Connor

Early 20s maybe. But male metabolism slows down for most guys at around 25 and even maintaining the same food intake and exercise rate, fat will start building up-- some guys who are very active won't have problems, but the majority of guys will have to start either working out more or eating less.
