People should be more appreciative of all the things I've almost done for them and totally would've done if they hadn't been so unappreciative.
Thanks for this comment.
The idea of regimented excersice is such an adult drag. I went back to viewing it as a consequence of unstructured play time. Riding your bike, climbing trees, walking up hills and jumping around still count as being active. This way it can be spontaneous and organic and fun.
If only adult jobs had recess. Someone needs to ring a bell for everyone to go play freeze tag outside for an hour, then back to staring at excel.
Siesta is a real thing in some places.
I would prefer nap time.
It's a "team building activity."
…or “mandatory fun” as it came to be known around my work place.
Which…I get it…but I always appreciated the distractions from work…
Or cattle prods .... you could hire cowboys on horses to just ride into the office between the cubicles and cattle prod the people out into 'play pens' for a 15 min break ... then herd them back once they are done.
That doesn't sound so bad.
We used to have a table football in ours office. Then we moved and took it with us. Then we moved again.
There is another around a few corners but it's not the same.
with the exception of classes. I am a middle aged man who takes dance and sword fighting classes and loves it.
except none of that has the health benefits of structured exercise. especially as you age.
You're increasing your heart rate and likely getting sun. What more health benefits do you need? Sure a good stretch first "as you age"
because it's not a real work out.
a real workout involves straining your heart and muscles so they are forced to become stronger to deal with the load. that is where the real health benefits come in. light exercise does none of that. all it really does it burn some extra calories. for light exercise to be effective it has to be endurance, as in hours and hours of it.
people may not like that fact, but it's how biology works. it's not exactly convenient.
If I get on my bike and ride 40 minutes I don’t think my body cares that it wasn’t done in a structured way. I like to go fast so its not like an evening stroll. Unless you are a body builder, you don’t need a strict regiment. Just an openness to push your body doing things.
That's a pretty depressing place to run
Very lucky to have a sidewalk could be much worse.
But are they constantly checking to make sure you aren't doing that? If not they have no right to judge?
