We're seeing fewer two sport athletes these days...each individual sport is just too demanding year round.
I don't want to hi jack a thread but I had to laugh when I read this because not 1 minute earlier I read on Yahoo the following about a healthy heart. Here we have a two sport athlete who gets tons of exercise contrasted to:
" Regular, heart-thumping exercise offers a multitude of health benefits, particularly for cardiovascular fitness. Perhaps clinicians (and health writers) keep bashing us over the head with that fact because of the eye-popping number of American adults who reported getting zero vigorous activity in a 2008 Centers of Disease Control and Prevention survey: 59 percent."
So fewer two sport athletes and just 40% of us who at least ONE time in a 365 day period had ONE 30 minute aerobic activity during the course of ONE day. That is amazing. I guess fast reading or typing on a message board doesn't count?
