Your wife is nicer than mine. Since our youngest headed off to college a couple of months ago I am in the exercise room Monday through Friday doing three miles at 4.5 mph on the treadmill, three sets of ten at bench press, curls, upright row, butterflies, press downs and leg extensions. Then we take a 2 - 3 mile walk with the dog who is 14 and slowing. I have never felt better for many years. The dog as well.
