That's not true at all. There are large sectors of the population that live healthily and stay trim. The solution is to identify an exercise activity that is enjoyable. However, it does seem that there are some parts of the country where the whole culture seems to have decided within the last decade or so that physical activity is a burden. I certainly don't understand why this is. If you start with the attitude that exercise is punishment then you are lost before you begin.
