This document summarizes Chris Hylton's experience in an active living program. Some of the benefits he experienced include improved fitness levels, making new friends in running groups, and building a running shoe collection. However, he also faced skepticism from neighbors and developed a mysterious illness. After ruling out other causes, his doctor diagnosed him with arrow phobia based on his exposure to arrows in the program's fitness tests and materials. Chris eventually concluded that exercise is unnecessary and people can celebrate health indoors without it.

5. Cons
•Being scolded by my
senior neighbours for
running
•“You are going to ruin
your knees!”
•“You don’t see any old
runners do you?
•Worst was
•I developed a physical
illness that was
mysterious

6. I visited my family physician
•He asked me the usual questions
•When did it start?
•What makes it worse?
•What makes it better?
•He was struggling for a diagnosis

7. The key question was When Did it Start?
•To be honest I did not know?
•Then I checked some of the early
BIM documentation

8. Fit Test Map
•One look and my
Doctor saw the trend
•8 arrows on one slide!

9. My Doctor Probed Further
•Were there any Traumatic
Arrow Events (TAE’s)?
•No can’t think of any?
•Then I remembered
•Does anyone know what it
was?
The Traumatic
Arrow Quiz

10. Who can forget

11. Plus test Equipment – Arrows everywhere

12. Finally my Doctor provided a Diagnosis!
ARROW PHOBIA
confirmed!

13. I was paralyzed, I could not move. I froze at
the sight of an arrow, I was stuck at FMC!

14. Normalization TO THE RESCUE!

15. Life after exercise
•Has anyone tapered off their training? I
have a solution!
•Does anyone remember when we were
gassed?
•We were hooked up to CO2 cylinder
which simulated exercise
•Which led me to conclude
•Does anyone know?
Exercise is
redundant

17. We no longer need exercise we can celebrate
indoors, pets are good too!
