Richard Talens: Why are you all so biased towards the gym?

“Hey guys, great site. I think it has a lot of potential. I’m just wondering why you all are so biased towards gyms? Seems to me like you should be able to get in a great workout from home. Also I did about 3 hours of mowing the lawn yesterday and DEFINITELY think it counts as exercise. Is there…

If you do not go out of your way to train, you do not deserve any sort of reward for training. Oh, you mowed your lawn? Congratulations, you’re just like everybody else. You wouldn’t receive any sort of IRL athletics award for mowing your goddamn lawn, and athletics are what they’re trying to reward here.

I do not understand why this is such a difficult concept. Would “points” from these two web developers REALLY make you feel that much better about your own mediocrity?
