Magic Shake-Ball

QUESTION FOR MAGIC SHAKE-BALL:

Was it a mistake to quit my gym?

MAGIC SHAKE-BALL'S RESPONSE:

"Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we!
For such as we are made of, such we be."
--Twelfth Night, 2.2.28-9

INTERPRETATION:

Ah, the cross-dressed Viola (as Ceasario) lamenting how easily Olivia has fallen in love with her male disguise! Does her comment about the haste with which women fall head over heels also apply to my hasty decision to quit the gym? Is my frail state the cause of my disinclination to work on my core, thus making my quitting inevitable? Or is it that because of my frail state, I need to work even more on my core and rejoin the gym? I'm getting exhausted just thinking about the interpretive possibilities!
