At 43 years old, I get the same comments.  How is it you're spending  
*at most* half an hour per week and yet you are in the best shape of  
anyone here?  How is it you can run a half marathon or bike 40 miles  
with zero training?

The answer is of course that it's a combination of eating a species- 
appropriate diet combined with intense, brief, infrequent workouts.   
It always saddens me when I think of the hours of wasted time people  
spend in the gym or out on the road.
