    Yes, you are right!

    It is a life style and not a ‘one-week’ or ‘one-month’ activity’ that we do rigorously and after that we go back to our old habits of binging, couch-potatoing (?), and no-exercising.

    It’s about a life style we are talking about.

    Good Job!
    I really enjoyed your articles.
