    On my feed this post is about 30 posts below one with a study that shows exercise helps reduce the size of cancer tumours.

    We constantly find new benefits of exercise, but why are we then so lazy and don’t exercise (mostly speaking to myself here).

      We’re not lazy.

      We’re overwhelmed, overburdened, and exhausted. Our lives should not be this stressful.

        You are absolutely right, I think we have been brainwashed with the term lazy and how we should behave as good workers.

      I don’t think it’s laziness. Even if you leave out all of the burdens of modern life, it’s clearly somehow in human nature to avoid exercise. Almost everybody has natural inertia that prevents them from getting started. (Obviously this does not apply if you already have an ongoing and active exercise routine. I’m talking about the getting started part.)
