Nice. It seems that 60% of baby boomers are getting enough exercise, based on the government’s fitness guidelines. Great news right? Well, not so fast.
It seems that those government standards have been made more lenient, and with the bar set lower, more people can reach it. The current standards only require a few minutes of exercise here and there. Geez. Doesn’t sound like much. Looks like I’m exercising enough nowadays too. 
The previous guidelines recommended that people get in 30 minutes straight of exercise, 5 days a week. Uh oh. Now I’m in trouble.
So baby boomers aren’t really healthier after all. They’re just doing the same things as before, and yet now the government’s saying, Great work, and, Healthy lifestyle you’ve got there.
I mean, really. A few minutes here and there? Who really honestly genuinely believes that that’s all the exercise a person needs to live a healthy life?
