Yes, that's it. I want to improve myself, not to deteriorate. It's my way of following the Dylan Thomas poem "do not go gentle into that good night... rage, rage against the dying of the light." I refuse to givei n easily to the effects of aging - becoming more sedentary, less mobile, less able to do things, getting fatter, having more aches and pains. I want to fight that to the best of my ability. And it doesn't come naturally. I still don't enjoy exercise. But I enjoy the energy and the sense of accomplishment afterwards.
