Yes true. BUT, those are ACTIVITIES NOT outdoor competitive SPORTS where you push yourself to the limit under the sun and humidity. Sure I have done yoga and book reviews and movie reviews indoors in the A/C. The book club does NOT put on gloves and go 3 rounds in a ring to argue about the value of a certain book.
.........Activities and competitive KICK-ASS sports are 2 different things!
.........Do bowlers EVEN break a sweat? How about the billiards players? And the poetry club? Do they run a mile race and then sit down and read poetry in the A/C.........................I don't think so.
..........Maybe the residents that do the ACTIVITY of beating up a large rubber ball with a stick DO break out into a little sweat. But, who are they competing with? Yes.....themselves........but that is NOT COMPETITIVE pushing.
