I think a lot of people feel like this, but perhaps not as much as you - the things you mention are what most people have to push past to do anything. Certainly I do - although I do enjoy sport. I don't however think that sport doesn't involve engaging the brain. It depends what sport you do. Do just go for walks? [1] The other things are Yoga, Thai Chi or Martial Arts which have a lot of philosophy to them to learn, so you're using your brain. [1]: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27186709

> the things you mention are what most people have to push past to do anything Well, I enjoy programming, browsing the web, watching TV and playing games for their own sakes, without having to push past any lack of desire. If anything, not doing them is tough (well, I can take TV or leave it). > Do just go for walks? Honestly, that's my favourite form of exercise, because at least then I am able to think, and I don't sweat. And it's nice to see the flowers, smile at attractive MOTOS, smell the air. But it's not terribly good exercise so I do other stuff as well. I'd rather sit in front of a computer though.

  Sorry I meant 'any kind of sport' instead of 'anything' Walking is actually is genuinely beneficial as exercise in itself [1] [2]. Just do more of that. I don't think it would help if you're overweight, but if it's maintaining fitness over decades then it sure works.
