Have a rant....
The reason the exercise culture is broken is because it's framed as the will triumphing over the body. Movement isn't for pleasure, and it isn't for self-maintenance. The thing that really gets praise is proving how tough you are-- that is, your ability to ignore your evolved safety signals.
Here's someone who's sensible on the subject: http://www.moveandbefree.com/blog
But that framing is very appealing to some people (although perhaps not you).
It's appealing, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
