For folks caught up in the fitness craze (and you know who you are!), there's something you should know:
"Researchers have discovered that the health benefits of aerobic exercise are determined by our genes - and can vary substantially between individuals."
Dang!
Turns out that, at least according to English researchers at the Royal Veterinary College [ed: so, are they talking about running dogs or running people?], about 1 in 5 of us get essentially no fitness benefit from excercising regularly. Which is not to say that it's necessarily a waste of time, but it does call into question some assumptions about health insurance programs that incentivize folks to excercise on a regular basis.
