Suggestion: Biden make a series of videos doing vigorous exercises as part of a campaign for US health [View all]

He can ride bicycles, jog, swim, chop wood, etc as part of a campaign to ensure Americans are not sitting on their butts, being unhealthy. Joe seems very healthy for his age and should have no problem doing something like this. Not only would it really help motivate some Americans to exercise, but it would go a long way to end the age prejudice that seems to be festeing in the media and among some of the public. The recent NY Times poll being discussed today comes to mind.

Keep in mind that a fitness buff like Jack Lalanne was doing a crazy amount of exercise up until the day he died from pneumonia at 96. Ronnie Reagan made a point to be shown chopping wood to show how healthy he was, despite his age. Joe can be more modest and show everyone that an 81 year old can be healthier than a sedentary, inactive 40-year old.
