Some people adore physical activity. Give them the slightest chance to go for a long walk, or a cycle ride, or a trip to the local swimmerama and they jump at the chance.
These people make up about 1% of the population.
Most of us would much rather slump.
The problem is that the long-term effects of slumping include:
- lower energy levels
- lower abilities to cope with stress
- depression
- lower appetite for 'healthy' foods
- higher appetite for 'unhealthy' foods
99% of us never 'feel' like exercising. The list of excuses I find myself making for skipping my gym sessions are endless.
Nearly everyone feels better AFTER exercising. And it only needs to take 20 minutes to provide tangible benefits.
So whether it be a brisk walk, run, a cycle-ride, or a session at your local gym, plan some kind of physical activity into your day. It will make your day more enjoyable and (if you care about such things) more productive.
