My response to this question is to ask if the utterer is familiar with fitness gear. (see attachments) Ever see any of that stuff in real life, outside a gym? No? Then why do they exist? Fitness of body requires one sort of exercise, fitness of mind requires a much different bunch of exercise, practice, and discovery. Couple that with "Would you like us to figure out exactly what you're going to do in real life and show you ONLY how to do that?"
