The main reason that exercise works is that it's better to be in shape in order to exercise.
Excepting something like strongman athletes, you won't let yourself get fat if you're training regularly because it would just cock everything up.
Just like with mental aptitude. You don't remain sharp by just sitting watching TV all day.
People spend 8 hours a day at work - if you're on here, probably 8 (okay, more like 4 :P) of mental work. If you do even 1 hour of physical exercise, not even particularly hard exercise, forever, you'll be doing great.

- jeff_d_miller 3y agoThis. So many people tell me they don't have the time. And then they go on discussing the next Netflix series they wanna binge cause it's hard to find new ones cause they have already seen all the good ones.
- throwaway22032 3y agoNo judgement man, people should do whatever they want to do. It's just like, yeah. I probably spend 12 hours a week in the gym, that's outlier levels. People might think that's a lot and then turn around and spend 50 hours at work. If you take 4 of those hours and exercise instead you're golden. I'd rather be strong and healthy than chase cash forever. But that's a personal choice.
- jeff_d_miller 3y agoOf course it's choice. I'm not criticizing the choice. I'm criticizing that they complain that they don't have the time to do anything different. Refusing to own up to your choices is worthy of criticism IMO.
