Dr. Julie Gottman

John, I need to talk to you about something.

All right.

I know that you love sitting and reading your books, especially your mathematic books, which I cannot understand one page of.

But honey, you really, really, really should go to the gym more often.

You really should.

You're only going to the gym like once a month.

That's not going to do anything for your body.

That's, I mean, you know, your body's starting to get a little kind of flabby or something.

I mean, just that belly is going out further and further.

You think you're fine?

Honey, the thing that I'm worried about, and this is true for both of us, is that we're both getting older, right?

And, you know, you've read all the newspaper articles about being fit really adds years to your life, right?

Being healthy, exercising is one of the best things you can do.

What they found is that there was a heart defect there.

It wasn't the running that caused it.

It was the heart defect.

No, I don't think so.

But if you don't exercise, I'm really afraid that you may suffer a heart attack.

Right?

I mean, I don't want to lose you.
