Plenty of exercise options in area

To the editor:

Lord have mercy. You don't have a place to exercise and be physically fit? You only have a thousand places where you can take a walk. And who is forcing you all to eat that much? Be honest with yourself. When I am in the Cape Girardeau area, I about wear myself out trying to see all the beautiful places. Have you walked down your street lately and enjoyed the trees and flowers? Have you been to Bollinger Mill and walked the area? Who says that you need to join a gym and use expensive equipment? Quit making excuses. Smoking is bad for your health. It is expensive. No smoking means more money in your pocket. Is that not an incentive?
