Before the Great Shift, Al had been very motivated to work out and get in shape. He visited the gym every day and considered himself quite fit. He tried to keep up the routine after the Shift, but it was hard. Being in someone else’s body was such a demotivator. Sure, he still went once and a while, but when he did, he didn’t really push himself.
Why should he? It wasn’t his body reaping the rewards or the work anymore; it was the body of the woman he swapped into that would get the gains he put in. She’d probably appreciate it; she was certainly in good enough shape and likely wanted to continue that. But why should he have to be the one to do it?
Even when they announced there was no way people would ever swap back, he still felt a certain sense of detachment from his new form. It always felt like he was improving someone else’s life...
