3-5hrs/week of exercise provides a huge ROI on mental performance and health. Find a program that works for you and stick with it.
In my opinion not exercising is as short sighted as not using an employer matching 401k program.
- Swizec 9y ago7-10hrs/week here. Exercise is great, definitely helps me think, makes my brain feel fresher, and gives me the stamina I need to keep up with my sleep schedule. But ho boy does it often feel like it's eating into how many hours are available in the day. One problem is that the more exercise you do, the more you want to do.
- lev99 9y agoThere are diminishing returns on exercise. A person doing 3 hours of exercise a week will see more benefit per hour than a person doing 9. I've gone into 10+ hours/week to try to reach a personal fitness goal before. Reaching the goal was more about satisfying my own ego than living a healthier life or investing my time wisely.
- oligopoly 9y ago>There are diminishing returns on exercise. A person doing 3 hours of exercise a week will see more benefit per hour than a person doing 9. Just like for someone who is morbidly obese to walk few blocks then.. Personally I workout 9-10h a week and have been for years. What changes is the amount of cardio I do. The mental clarity, energy, feel of accomplishment, getting fresh air (running), being in great shape, coming up with business ideas or solutions to problems etc make it easily worth it. In regards to how to make time. There are natural amateurs working out twice a day 2 hours a pop and still working full day jobs. At some point you just have to prioritise what you want to do.
