Your 10 years number is significantly overblown. First result in Google is:

> they found that those who did 75 minutes of moderate-intensity activity weekly lived 1.8 years longer, on average, compared with people who did no physical activity

If you believe that, it puts it into 1.25 (no exercise) vs 1.8 years, which still does not include any preparations.

Death is an awful yardstick to measure anything other than truly fatal conditions. Exercise can be the difference between spending 50 years with major health problems, joint and back pain, diabetes, etc vs spending them pain free and being able to enjoy life.
