Yeah I've never really been into body building in that form. I do like to be fit and muscular, but lean and cut. It's much better for me! I've got plenty of family members that are jacked but they have all kinds of issues lol.
My wife hates it but I park the car FAR when we go to stores. She's kind of lazy and doesn't like to walk, but fuck that, get yo ass movin! It's free exercise, why the hell not? You and I share the same strategies though! I will take the stairs in most scenarios, even hotels. I'll take the elevator up once to find the room, then its the stairs from there!
