Cathy: I haven't gained weight, but I've outgrown all my pants! Mom: Someone hasn't been exercising. Cahty: I know, I know... it's muscle loss. Mom: Wrong. It's memory loss. As we age, our fat gets disoriented and wanders around the body looking for a comfier spot to rest. Exercise snaps the fat back to attention and helps it remember where it's supposed to be. Also, if you exercise regularly, the fat's less likely to stray because it's always afraid you'll start jumping around again and make it dizzy. We're not even trying to lose you anymore, weight! We just want to help you stay put! Cathy: I have to get out of here, mother!! Mom: Excellent! Even a brisk walk away from the truth will help keep the fat on its toes!
