Well all of us exercise geeks as someone so geekingly put it, simply want to retain our youth. Yes it is driven by narcicism to a certain extent, but it also helps project confidence and self respect which are all part of my happiness. I must say while everything can be overdone there will always be people who find a way of snubbing what they dont have the dicipline or self respect to do for themselves. We humans need to reward ourselves. Staying in shape is simply one of those ways to raise our quality of life. There is nothing geeky about it. I believe that word was invented for those who are under developed or not well built. Those kind of soft and lazy folks tend to be very boring.
