Exercise is for the young," says radio personality Byng Whitteker.
His four-minute walk from car to office this morning is an arduous
trek at 290 pounds. In 1958, Whitteker is like most adults who don't
understand the health merits of what he calls "huffing and

Vigorous exercise prepares you for an early grave, he explains.
Fitness expert Lloyd Percival disagrees and is worried about Whitteker's
heart.
