What is exactly the postman syndrome? I can't find anything about it, except for the band "The Postman Syndrome" (which is great, by the way)

Qouting from this page: "I like relaxing runs, but if you do the same slog every day, you can suffer from what's sometimes called "postman's syndrome"—named for those who do the same walk every day and yet their bodies never change. Your muscles become so efficient at a movement over time that if you do it day after day and eat the same way, you never overtax your system and burn more calories to lose weight." Basically it says postmen lose weight during the first months of their work, cause they started a new activity. But after a couple of months they start gaining weight as their body get used to walking everyday :)
