The joke I am looking for won’t need to be

Maybe in Soviet era Russia, it is implied that you must purchase the newspaper before you unfold it?

Actually, I’m pretty sure professional athletes of his age would be in worse shape. Professional athletes tend to give their bodies a pretty brutal beating for years in the sprint towards pushing themselves to the absolute extreme limits of what the human body can do. This is also not healthy or natural, just on the other end of the scale from a sedentary lifestyle.

I mean, I got your point, I just felt like it was worth pointing out that athletes aren’t necessarily symbols of health, especially not in the later stages of life.
