My (bkloots) favorite passages from that article are:

What’s remarkable and encouraging about these studies is that the subjects weren’t exercising at heroic intensities or volumes.

They were simply doing something that was physically challenging for them – going from no exercise to some exercise; one need not be an elite athlete or fitness nerd to reap the bulletproofing benefits of exercise.

The truth, cliché as it may sound, is this: "When you develop physical fitness, you’re developing life fitness, too."
I totally agree about her favorite passages from the article b/c they are mine as well!

On another note: I lived near the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany many many moons ago...
