i completely disagree with the notion that surfcasting keeps you in shape or is good excercise. i'd say that the cons outweigh the pros significantly in terms of overall health. the only arguement that one could make to say it will keep you in shape is to compare it to doing absolutely nothing - and by that logic going or a 15 minute walk everyday in a pair of shapeups will keep you in shape.

if you want to stay healthy and be able to fish or do other activities as you age, a good total body weight routine and some type of metabolic conditioning are what you should be doing IMO.
