That is probably an accurate number. Many people join 2-3 months before summer and expect to loose weight and look fit by summer. They show up for one or two sessions and they give up. I have been a gym rat my whole life. I have gone from racquetball, basketball to heavy weights and now lighter weights and stretching. I have also used the treadmill but I am NOT a runner. Just look around any neighborhood in the Villages and you will see people walking at all times of the day.
When I get real tired from weights I do play a round of golf. I must add NOT very well.
