Lazy?


Which came first, the fatigue or the laziness?

Hmm. That's hard to say. After all, when we are fatigued, we do get lazy. We cut corners. We skip our exercise. We spiral every downward until we put a brake to the fatigue.

But when we are lazy, we get fatigued. When we stop making efforts, when we forget to exercise, our body let's itself go.

Sure, exercise might make us feel tired in the short term, but it energizes us in the long run.
How to break the fatigue-laziness cycle.

Kick your seat and get moving. Go for a fast-paced walk. Do push-ups. Make a commitment to keep doing it for two weeks and you will have the momentum to spin out of orbit and blast through to new levels of energy.


PS: You still need to get enough sleep, or this trick won't work.

Finding time for the exercise is the one big constraint for me. So to get a bit of exercise, i get of one stop earlier from the bus, and walk an extra bus stop in the afternoon.

No helping much, but at least it gets me to do a extra bit of walking.

Howzit Johan!

I agree, since I've stopped playing rugby 2 or so seasons ago, I kinda let myself go.

Now I try and walk as much as possible.
