Very confusing article. At first I thought it is trying to say that if you are sitting for long periods, exercise can be bad for you. What it's actually saying is that more you sit, less effective the exercise is.
- ams6110 8y agoMaybe this explains why exercise never makes me feel "better" just more tired.
- georgemcbay 8y agoDo you stick with it on a regular schedule? No science here, but anecdotally if I've been slacking off on exercise and then restart, I feel pretty tired/terrible at first. After a few weeks of regular routine exercise though, it flips and I feel tired/terrible when I don't exercise and energized when I do exercise.
- Taylor_OD 8y agoSame. About three weeks of consistent exercise (three times a week) and I'm back in, "fighting" shape. Those three weeks suck but after that, it almost sucks not to work out.
- otikik 8y agoI have the same experience. My threshold seems to be about 8 days - meaning that I can resume exercise more or less ok after slacking (or being ill) for 8 days, but after 10 days it costs a lot more and I feel worse afterwards. Of course it is more like a ramp than a binary thing, but there's a "step" around the 9th day in the graph.
