False! You're too comfortable!!!!
Your excuse, busted: We live in a society where we keep the indoor temperature adjusted to perfection, wrap ourselves in soft clothing, wear thick-soled shoes to protect our feet, lay on cushy beds draped in poofy covers, and shower with warm water and soap every single day.

You know what's uncomfortable?!?? Being in a bathing suit at the beach, wheezing after a flight of stairs, buying the next size up, etc.

Get out of breath
Get a blister
