As small aside-
I could have spent the last 12 years on a thread-mill over at a gym but instead I spent them doing Aikido. I got vigorous exercise, met hundreds of great people, had wonderful times and have been richly rewarded in learning some things I didn't know and never would have learned otherwise. If the vast majority "couldn't care less about it" maybe they should.
Best wishes,
Jorge
