"Only 1/10 of 1% of the population can build exceedingly large muscles naturally.
Muscle is metabolic currency,it is the greatest predictor of metabolic rate, hormonal regulation, glucose economy, functional ability, bone density, vitality and even mortality in elderly populations. Muscle is also the only tissue that we have volitional control over, that we can control and command its state and its the window to all of our other supportive subsystems, all systems up regulate to support muscular function and effort.
In my opinion something can only be called exercise if it is intense enough to evoke an adaptive response, hence high intensity muscular contractions are required. Everything else is just activity and should be considered as much for a mental and emotional outlet, these people that try to convince themselves that their leisure/enjoyable activity is enhancing their well being are in fantasy land. In many case not only are these activities not enhancing their well being but they are accelerating the degenerative aging process."
