Mostly just asking this for a college assignment since I’m a student there, and this is the one I picked out of the twenty I came up with.

Feel free to also answer why you do such exercises, describe the last time you have engaged in physical exercise, and provide any additional thoughts.

      My commute is my exercise, so is my job, so is a lot of the time I spend with my kids.

      You don’t need more time, you don’t need separate time, you just need to be more active in the things you already do.

          I don’t know if you have to go into an office but I work from home so I guess I have the privacy of being able to put a cycle under my desk and I do that for 30 minutes at least in order to burn off some calories. Has to be 30 minutes or more too. Never under that amount.

          I still find it hard to do it for 30 minutes though. I miss days all the time.

          I can definitely understand that. It’s a wierd paradox, though, that getting exercise will actually give you more energy, and the mobility you gain will make injuries heal better. If you can do a simple bodyweight workout just for a couple months, you won’t regret it.

          Do body weight exercises at work instead of Lemmy.

          Only if you want to though.

            My work area is not conducive to that unfortunately. I’m on the phone pretty much all day so I can Lemmy with my hands while listening to hold music.

          Wake up earlier and do it in the morning when you’re not tired, and don’t do knee exercises until it heals.

          Exercise only works if you make it a routine/lifestyle, like brushing your teeth. It’s one of the few things in life that is all positives with zero downsides.

            I don’t mean to make excuses, but I leave at 730 am due to commuting via transit, get home at 5, walk my dogs and eat, and work 6-9 pm every night as well. It’s a lot and getting up earlier than 6 am would really start to take a toll on my mood due to a psychiatric disorder. It isn’t that I haven’t thought of it but there’s really no space in the day. I do try to walk the dog long distances on the weekends when I just work my one job but the free time during the week just honestly isn’t there.

              I suggested waking up earlier because I don’t know anything about your life/schedule. You’re the one who knows it best, and the one who knows where to find 15-30 minutes to do some exercises. Working two jobs is tough, but people do it all the time while still managing to fit exercise into their life.

              Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to tell you what to do or shame you into working out. It’s your life and if you don’t want to work out, then that’s fine.

              I just want to point out that when someone thinks they “dont have time” for working out, they’re wrong. It’s never about time. It’s like if someone told you they don’t have time to brush their teeth and shower every day because they work two jobs, need to walk their dog, and have a bad elbow. Would you take that justification seriously? Exercise is just another routine.
