In India, exercise is not part of the culture. We are merely trained to provide for the family, may it be monetarily or culinarily. As far as I remember, walking, running or jogging every day was never a part of our daily routine. Only when we got older and wondered why we suddenly began putting on weight, was when we realized that we should work-out or exercise to remain fit. Or perhaps when the doctor told us, some of us listened and acted accordingly.
