What I have trouble understanding is why people don't want to exercise (or engage in physical activity) to the point of making up excuses not to exercise. Really. Nothing feels better (okay, except for sex, but isn't that a type of exercise?) and nothing is better for you. Exercise is the cure for practically everything that ails us. From depression to diabetes. Hell, Magic Johnson claims to have beaten HIV through exercise.
You can't keep blaming food all you want, but that's just another way of not taking responsibility for your own life.
I don't understand it either as exercise is a drug with no downside. The more you do it the better you feel. It is also amazing that once you get in shape all the little aches and pains associated with getting older simply go away. I am going to go ride my bike 12 miles before it gets dark. Something I look forward to every day.
Ew... I HATE physical activity. It just saps your energy. It also makes me need to go to sleep sooner at night. And it takes so damn much time. AND it makes my eczema flare up. AND, it's usually done outside, so it flares up my alergies. AND I have to take a shower afterwards, makeing my skin dry. AND, it's almost boring.
Long term, exercise gives you more energy. You can exercise in the morning and shower after, meaning one shower a day still. You can exercise indoors, saving you from your allergies. Sorry about your skin, but in most cases, eczema is an autoimmune disorder caused by too little exposure to the world and bacteria.
Work is boring. Get over it. Personally, I love lifting weights.
