Nice! I like how he points out how becoming more active in basic daily routine might mean shortening the time spent in the gym. And "...by choosing to live less 'conveniently,' we might wind up more physically fit."

And many of his suggestions are quite mustacian - using a reel mower, planting a garden, eating less processed food, getting rid (or at least minimizing) the television...

Definitely mustachian - thanks for sharing!

Love it!

I can think of more ideas: hanging laundry out on the clothesline, mixing cookie dough by hand, kneading pizza dough, making homemade ice cream with a crank machine, shoveling snow rather than using a snowblower, raking leaves, splitting wood for the woodstove, participating in live theater/musicals vs. just watching movies (and making music vs listening to iPod, too).

Oh, and volunteer physical labor vs money - I always get quite a workout at the library's semiannual book sales hauling boxes of books up from basement storage, moving and setting up tables, returning extras back to storage for next time, cleaning up.
