Working out has become synonymous with weight loss or maintenance. That is, we assume that people only work out — that we should work out — to lose weight or to maintain our weight.

No wonder many of us don’t want to do it. Our days are busy as it is. We have so many responsibilities as it is. Why would we fill our weeks with activities that make us miserable? With activities we don’t exactly enjoy? Activities that are shoulds or have-tos?
