I noticed on another thread some one mention that many of todays young men are not fit enough to make it to the Military.

I have heard here in UK that comment also--so why not?
Is it todays lifestyle where most of us use cars to get about and do not take enough exercise.
Is it sitting at the computer too long, playing cyber games etc, not walking when we can ride.

Do we take enough exercise and do we have enough life challenges to really survive if facing difficult circumstances.
Many children are driven to school by car instead of walking. How many take up sport that gets them fit?

Over here many of our school sports fields were sold-- so less space for youngsters to play.

Are we as fit as we should be?
When I see old films about life as it used to be with much physical work I doubt that many of us could adapt too easily.

any thoughts on this?
