It's Monday, a great day to start working out, leveling up, and setting a few short-term goals, even if just for the week. In today's newsletter, another study confirms the health benefits of consistent physical exercise. Add a trip to a magnificent hotel after you get in shape and check out Architectural Digests 28 Hotels you should visit. After all that, hit the water with an alternative form of housing that floats. It ends with the return of Breaking Bad!

Several new studies are building a stronger case for the health benefits of exercise. NBC News cites several stories and confirms additional benefits with other medical professionals. The primary story is based on a new study of over 1 million men in Sweden and monitored the participants for approximately 33 years. Taking a baseline physical reading at 18 years old and throughout the study to determine health factors. The participants with high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness were at less risk of developing cancer later in life.

The study used a baseline fitness test and compared that to different times in the participant's life. Physical tests are more accurate than self-reporting. The studies also suggest that the reductions came to all individuals with some form of fitness routine, not only the top people with the highest fitness level.

Cancer reduction is a good thing; many studies find multiple benefits to physical fitness. Not mentioned are the mental health benefits of exercise; humans are not designed to be sedentary, and movement is critical to mental and physical health.

Architectural Digest presents the 28 Historic Hotels You Must Visit Before You Die. We were quite surprised that The Budapest Hotel was not on the list, but that could be a made-up hotel from Wes Anderson for his movie. When you start preparing your travel list to hit all 28, the good news is most are in the United States and Europe. The U.S. topped the list with 8 hotels, followed by Italy with 4; we can personally vouge for half of the U.S. hotels, the half we have been to. We need to book a trip to Italy to check off another set.

When I think back to the term “houseboat," I think of the South and movies that used to have houseboats in them; luxury was not a term I associated with my first memories of a houseboat. Next, the Pacific Northwest and Washington with its 700 water-only access islands. Some of these were more houses than boats, and now the BBC has a story on a new wave of houseboats that goes to both the recreational and environmental sides. All the examples in the article will make you think more about sustainable living.

Reminds us of Dee Snider calling out bands who do multiple Final Tours, but the trailer was fantastic; albeit confusing too. We’re not sure why laser eyes made the cut?
