If you could only have one exercise for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Thanks to SGT (Join to see) for making me think of this in a conversation on one of his threads. I am not overlooking diversity, the need for specialty training, changes in needs or any of the necessary variables for an effective exercise program. BUT - if you could only have one exercise for the rest of your life, I hope it's as good as the deadlift.

more bone impact than LSD. Good one.

SGM Steve Wettstein I'm working up to sprinting again. I had severe shin splints (developed into fractures). I believe it was caused from sprinting with improper form (backwards lean and heal strikes). After attending several running classes under the supervision of an M.D, I have fixed my form to incorporate a forward lean and ideal foot strike. Working on the steps per minute right now. Sprinting is definitely a great anaerobic exercise.
MAJ Charles Blake running (or for those with bad knees, swimming). Both have been the best medicine for my body and mind.

you can't overlook the affect of exercise on the mind. I think that's why Sgt (Join to see) is an advocate for the oldest exercise in the book.

ENS (Join to see) - you need to read "The Endurance Paradox". LD running is demonstrated to be full of problems for muscle and bone health. The heart and lungs are great, but the body breaks down.

ENS (Join to see) - it changed my practice and my life. I can't recommend it enough for complete fitness.
I'm doing swimming and I plan to keep it up. Two lanes next to me is a 73 year old triathlete who swims with out team.
