"I cannot do it (excuses excuses I know) if there is no purpose. Exercise sake I find the most boring thing in the world and just don't do it although I know I should."
You owe it to your friends and neighbors.
Never mind the health benefits or nicer looks or fitting into smaller clothes - you owe it to everyone around you to be able to:
- run for help
- carry a body
- move debris or pull a hose or help push a car
- (etc.)
If you have any expectation at all of being taken seriously and held as an equal by the people around you, this is the minimum set of capabilities.
