I should mention that I seem to be one of the substantial fraction of the population who's immune to exercise. I went to a gym for a year, spent two hours three times a week, aerobic and weightlifting. I didn't gain any muscle. I didn't lose any weight. It does nothing for me. Yes, I know it works for you.

This sounds like an excuse, since nobody mentioned "superior mental discipline" but you. How did you measure gain in muscle?
