Do you believe there is happiness in an athletic lifestyle?

I learned ways to maintain a healthy body shape without exercise by studying nutrition online but I find that most people that don’t know what I do, can still maintain a nice shape by doing rigorous work outs and dieting regimens. I have had health issues for most of my child hood so I have never been a fitness buff but the few times I tortured myself with a tough work out, I felt super good afterwards.

If you enjoy the feeling of working out afterwards i would recommend trying to get into a habit of working out. You don't need to push yourself super hard just to whatever level you sweat enough that it feels good. Working out also makes it easier to sleep and overall your body functions better with exercise so as long as you dont hate it, then working out seems like it would only benefit you.

Physical labor causes micro damage to the body. It will release neurotransmitters to encourage you to stop moving so it can recover. This is why chronic labor wears down the body. People working abnormal amounts pushing their bodies in ways the body wasn’t designed to do causes excessive wear and tear. Blue collar may be having their heyday, but it won’t last.

Yes, I have been a fitness enthusiast since high school. I am older now but look at my contemporaries that have spent the last 30 years on a bar stool and they all seem a lot older than I am. I have more energy, endurance and strength than most guys my age.

Weight training is the best anti-depressant in the world. Mind you I also do Muay Thai & Sprints, but those I consider a topping to the main course so to say. Weight training is the baseline for anything athletic.

Whether you are playing sports, working out at a gym or taking a brisk walk, physical activity triggers brain chemicals that make you feel happier and more relaxed.

For me, yes, but I have an addictive personality so I have to limit myself or I go overboard.
