Immortality!
 
I submit that dancing games such as DDR/ITG/PIU/(Insert unmentioned dance game(s) here) would, after enough play, make someone physically immortal. Now, I know you think this must sound like I'm crazy, but please bear with me... One loves his/her dancing genre of games, he/she plays it everyday, and on the most difficult of levels for hours a day. I hope we can now agree that cardiovascular work such as his/her favorite dancing game increases the strength of his/her circulatory sytem. Now we can agree that the circulatory system is by far the most important system in the body, everything else requires its functionality to do its job. With a stronger circulatory system, one would live longer, right. Now that one's circulatory system is stronger, and thus, one lives longer, that one has more time to play his/her dancing game of choice, their governing systems would again increase in strength, the more strength, the longer to live, the longer to live, the more strength, this continues on in a never ending loop of immortality, and yes, I know there are some exceptions to this rule, such as.....
-Mental Impairment
-Unnatural Death (Shootings, Car Crashes, Collapsing Buildings, etc.)
-Disease
-Failing to Play Everyday
-Neurological Disorder


What do you guys think?

I'm going to be nice, but be warned that others most likely won't.

In short: No.

Do you think marathon runners are immortal? Olympic swimmers?

The human body (as well as any other living thing) wears down with time. You can exercise to be fit and healthy, but it certainly won't make you anywhere close to immortal.

Technically a flaw in human DNA where a certain part (I don't remember which, look it up if you care) keeps on getting shorter everytime a cell renews itself. Otherwise the human body would keep on repairing itself infinitely.

I watched a rower, a hardcore athlete, die of heart failure at the end of a race last year.

And you're basically echoing the advice of physicians across the country: that exercise increases physical health. This isn't news.
