Is that what you think someone has to do to have a great body?


Last winter, I volunteered at a "pop-up" overnight homeless shelter. Near freezing temps, with rain, and overflowing shelters. We had 76 homeless (73 men, 3 women) at a park shelter to watch to make sure no fights or whatever happened. I went outside at about 4:45 am and to my amazement on a Tuesday, 38 degrees outside, light rain, I saw at least 50 independent joggers and cyclists doing what they "had to do".

There was no, "it won't be as cold or raining tomorrow", there was only "I need this".

How do you know? Did you actually speak to them and they told you that?

What if it was a club and that’s what they do?

What if they were training for a race?

You have no idea what their motivations were.

Why does it bother you?

Well done. We need more people like you. Seriously.

Not sure why you think this is a negative. Am I missing something?

If more people had this drive and ambition in everyday life there might be a few less homeless people that you are assisting.
