I think that for most people physical fitness is not a concern and this attitude is past on to their children.
I got into shape when I was 13 because I did not like being a little chubby. I started lifting weights and jogging and gained muscle and lost weight.
I then started a few years later with a healthy diet and I have maintained it ever since.
I feel much happier being lean and muscular and I can take my shirt off in the summer and not feel embarrassed.
I have seen this lack of concern about physical fitness in adults as well. I know many former kung fu brothers and sisters that are at least 20-80 pounds overweight.
Good health requires a consistent healthy diet, consistent regular aerobic exercise, and consistent regular strength training but it is worth it.
A healthy strong body requires a lot work but it can become a good habit that parents develop and pass down to the children.
