It’s you vs. you EVERYDAY

News published about two Korean giants planning to invest in the healthcare and fitness industry of Pakistan induced me to exploration. We live in a society where there exist two sects. One faction abominating exercise, as for them, it is an utter nuisance and involves way too much hard work, while for others it is a routine, a part of their existence.
