Hi, Frank

Thanks for the advice. I would go for Ross for R1 (hope I can get the recom letter), an ...

Hi there! Good to hear from you again. Where are you in your Ross essays? That deadline is coming up QUICKLY, so I hope you're working your way through those. They definitely are not easy. As for your question, dude, going to the gym is indeed... bland. That's something you enjoy doing, but what value does that bring to the table? What does that tell the adcom about you, dude? It says you like to be fit. But is there anything special about it ?Unique? Have you turned it into more than just going to exercise? If not, I don't think it's something worth mentioning. Is there anything else you do outside of work? Anything you're passionate about? The reason activities are important to the adcom is because it gives them a glimpse into who you are as a PERSON -- what you care about, and what you can bring to the campus community. Especially at schools like Ross, Cornell and Tuck, which put a biiiig emphasis on their "community."  So think hard of the things you love and dedicate your time to. THOSE are the things you'll want to write about.  

Hope that helps. And good luck!
