I'm probably on a different wavelength than you...
All I want to do is surf. I've missed two weeks because of this back thing and I am not a happy camper.
Weight training to me is just to keep me surfing, not an end in itself.
I've never had any interest in weight lifting or going to the gym. The idea of working out at a gym seems really boring to me. My only other activity has been running and when I running I'm on the strand (at the beach) or in the mountains. I hear a lot of people who say that running bores them to tears. And it's usually the gym rats who say that. Different strokes I guess.
