I remember reading years ago, an interview with one of the Apollo astronauts. He was asked if he did much exercise. He replied along the lines of.
"I was born with a given amount of heart beats. I am damned if I am going to waste any working out in a gym".

I am also aware of someone who was a physical fitness fanatic and extremely fit. At 40 he had a triple bypass.
