Here are some little unknown facts from http://www.exerciseplus.com :

 According to a study by the Center for Health Studies (Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound in Seattle, WA), patients suffering from back pain who spent less time in bed (and took fewer painkillers) experienced as much relief as those whose doctors prescribed more. In addition, their medical bills were 79% lower.

 According to researchers at the Institute for Aerobic Research in Dallas, cardiovascular disease rates for men and women who are in poor shape are seven to eight times greater than for those who are physically fit.

According to the Fortino Group in Pittsburgh, PA, the average American male will spend roughly three years and 11 months of his life sitting in an easy chair watching TV. Along the way he'll click his remote 104,016 times, bark 17,336 orders to his family, and add about 5.5 inches to his waist.

If when you exercise your energy level wanes (and your heart rate soars), you may need more magnesium. In a three month Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center study, when women were put on a magnesium deficient diet (50% of the RDA) their hearts were forced to work significantly harder when exercising. This was true even though their blood magnesium levels showed no sign of deficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 70% of Americans don't get enough magnesium in their diets.
