You are thinking only on the extremes of life and death. Someone who is healthy for the majority of their life is going to be able to enjoy their time much better than someone who doesn't take care of themselves and has numerous illnesses. As others have said, it's quality of life.
Serious question. We put so much emphasis on health and fitness yet we're all gonna be hobbled, crippled or otherwise burdened by old age one day. Alternative is to die before you get old enough to see your body deteriorate. So what's really the point in the end?
There is no point. Why does there have to be a point?
You're just having an existential crisis. It'll soon pass.

So? At the time of death, when breathing your last breaths, everyone is in the exact same state physically. Doesn't matter how "fit" you are. You're less "fit" than an 800 pound obese person who is not on their deathbed the moment you're within 10 seconds of your vital signs shutting down completely.
Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth, foiled by these rebel powers that thee array, Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth, Painting thy outward walls so costly gay? Why so large cost, having so short a lease, Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? Shall worms, inheritors of this excess, Eat up thy charge? Is this thy body's end? Then soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss And let that pine to aggravate thy store; Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross; Within be fed, without be rich no more. So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men, And, Death once dead, there's no more dying then.
“The point in the end” is easily understood if life is considered as a series of moments.
Being in peak physical condition affords one the opportunity to experience many extremely potent moments, unattainable to those not in such condition.
Yes there can be an opportunity cost, which is why one needs to stay actively aware of how one is living. If one does, one can have lived a more potent series of moments.
The same logic applies to other dimensions of life—social, intellectual, spiritual...

I want to look back on my life knowing I spent it as best I could. For me, fitness is a key component of a life well lived.
Barely more than 100 years ago people couldn't fly around. If you said you were gonna fly somewhere they'd throw you in the crazy house.
Now you think science can't keep your body young and healthy forever someday? You better believe Anthony Fauci is hard at work on fixing aging before it gets him. If he can't figure it out, noone can.
Trust me you can slow the aging process down by working out, diet, you don;t have to ever get hobbled, crippled, that is a figment of your imagination.
Lift the weights, run, eat smart and you will look the part.

You are such a simpleton. The OP may already be crippled. Why would you lie like that?

You really don't get what he is saying there, really guy? How about you register loser, ok?
As I said the OP may already be crippled. If you could read you would know he said nothing about his current status and may have been looking for consolation for his crippled state.
Oh i have seen this time and again. The real question is....................Why do anything? I mean we have to do something to pass the time right? Might as well try and be our best selves rather it be physically or mentally
