Exercise is good for the heart and makes you look good. However, there are much more compelling reasons to exercise regularly.

The human brain is an exceedingly complex organ, and while we don't fully understand it, it is what we have to use to understand and interact with the world around us. Research is showing that there is a very powerful connection between the nervous system and movement. Exercise has been shown to facilitate the growth of new neurons, paving the way for greater intelligence.
If this was interesting, I highly recommend checking out John Ratey's "Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain" amzn.to/2iZEttT

It is literally insane to expect kids to deal with school without long enough breaks that they can play some. Like if they have to take 10 minutes to get from one class to the other thanks to different buildings placed far away, then the break can't be just 10 minutes.

I can maybe go a day without exercise if I walk a lot, but the urge to just move my body eventually takes over. It's going to be one of the best decisions you've ever made.

@Marianne mitochondria use a whole bunch of nutrients like coenzyme CoQ10, absorbic acid, B vitamins and more. If you were interested specifically in burning fat- i would think you need to look elsewhere biologically. Focus on diet and lifestyle- perhaps something low carb. Ive been following keto for fat burning- as it changes energy metabolism from carb and sugar to using as fat as energy. Intermittent fasting could help. Exercise before breakfast. These are some areas you could look into. But obv check with your GP first as keto can be detrimental if not done right. Basically, making your mitochondria work "better" wont really help with fat loss.

This is so true, as I discovered by accident. I used to only hit the gym at night. About a year ago, I got a new job with later hours and was way to tired to work out afterwards. I took a week to gradually began waking up 2 hours earlier, to train in the morning. I wasn't expecting the amazing ways this totally changed my life. Not only did I gain strength and endurance, psychologically the anxiety I suffered from completely vanished, I now head into the workday with a great sense of accomplishment and feeling great in my body, and my ability to stay focused and productivity skyrocketed. I'm literally in a calm, focused mood all day. Also, the amount of sleep I need to feel fully rested decreased from 9 hours to 7.5, and the quality of it improved. I love waking up, look forward to my AM workout, and have never felt better, stronger or more serene before in my life. I've recommended the change to friends and colleagues, and have seen others thrive too. Try it!

This former retired fitness trainer who ended up with a mild form of MS found this fascinating! I started working out in my 30s in the 1980s with weights and continued through my 40s along with some aerobics. My MS which was very hard to diagnose went into remission for around 20 years during which time I became a fitness trainer! Unfortunately, it got a bit worst by my 60s despite trying to keep the exercise up which is very hard to do when one has MS. Now at 71 I'm back to working out again and hoping a combination of yoga which I've also done off and on since the 1970s and working out with my weights will cause my MS to go back into remission again along with my very healthy clean eating plan. "A barbell is a girls' best friend", not necessarily diamonds! Thanks for the much needed info! " knowledge is power" as well as exercise!

Just curious when did you have your first noticable MS flare? What is your genetic background? Did you take any vaccine within 3 years of onset of MS nerve damage or neurological problems (numbness, tingling, loss of sensation)? As you may already know, some medical researchers believe there's a correlation with vaccines and your immune system. Some vaccines cause inflammation or myelin sheath attack from immune cells.

When he was first diagnosed, and could still function pretty normally, he refused to listen to my mom and the doctors, and didn't go to the gym or stay active. My poor mom even bought him a treadmill and an elliptical, he refused to use them. Fast forward 5 years or so and he was totally bedridden. From your comment, if I end up getting MS like he did, at least I will know how to fight it.

For those of you sorting by new, I am someone who lifts weights about 2 hours a day, consistently, and my least favorite days are rest days. Wanna know how I keep up the consistency? It’s not discipline, and it’s not habits (I don’t have a regular time when I go to the gym) it’s actually down to enjoyment. I love training, I love the rush, the high, it’s extremely addictive and I feel the urge to push myself even harden so I can feel even more of that rush. My keys are listening to epic music, finding the focus to push myself close to true muscular failure, and using movements that I like. Do you hate lifting and want to run? Well focus on running. Find the joy in expressing your physicality and you will find yourself going out of your way to train consistently. It will become your happy place instead of being a chore

Short version: Exercise is extremely beneficial to the brain. The brain's only purpose is "to produce adaptable and complex movements" thus moving more bolsters your brain power by producing more BDNF. Which can improve mood, focus, learning and so much more. Get out there and exercise dammit!!

Just make a deal with yourself: 10 push ups a day, before breakfast, Monday to Friday, weekends off. Easy. Done. Then, after two weeks, up to 15. Then after two weeks, 25. 50. 100. In sets of 10, no rush, take all the time you want between each set. Stretch your upper body between each set. Walk around slowly. Then add a mile walk a day Monday to Friday. Easy. I do Nordic Walking. Feels great. Start small and easy - something you can easily accomplish and easily stick with - and gently work up. Never stressing. You'll love it. Cheers!

What I've Learned: Combine exercise (aerobic and anaerobic[and explosive ]) with goals(1) and natural nootropics (cocoa, cinnamon from Ceylon, rosemary, sage and/or lavandula powders) in smoothies everyday. This will be more powerfull than modvigil or modafinil ("talking" from experience here). Exemple: From 20 push ups in one shot to be able to do 100 push ups or more in one shot two moths later for exemple. From 7 miles in one hour and 10 minutes to 7 miles in 40 minutes, 6 months or one year later. Squats and sprints ... Learn to juggle ... Have mental imageries and emotions of power while training (use your imagination). Do not passively endure "suffering" with only willpower this is significantly less efficient and that could suck you mind dry. It's crucial. That way you will reach a threshold where even when you don't exercise, your dopamine and stuff will stay on top for months.

Whenever I do something like being at my desk all day, I feel tired and depressed. I am working and doing a lot, but it doesn't feel rewarding. Whenever I go out to the field to do a more active project, I feel better. The same happens when I workout. If I stop for a few days, I feel my motivations starts to degrade. As soon as I hit the gym again, I feel great and I am motivated to do more like adding more weights or running faster. Also, exercise does not really work for weight loss. I tried working out hard and eating more, but that only led to weight gain and fat gain. I have regulated my diet and I eat less junk food and more nutritional food and I've seen a big difference the last month. The human body is amazing!

I just recently joined a gym, and plan on going there in the morning, instead of nights, like i used to when i was young. For those of use with work that requires sitting in front of a computer all day, don't neglect to get exercise in your daily routine, or even exercise 3 to 4 times a week, if not daily, it'll benefit you in the long run, and you won't have weak bones, and muscles in your old age.

The ones who watch it almost always book multiple sessions, this video is so awesome man. Thank you so much for putting it together and making the world a better & healthier place.

Sorry, I don't have _time_ for a 15 minute long video. Gotta go to *workout* now! But honestly, thanks for the motivational video. I started working out a couple weeks ago after a health-related pause fora couple years and MAN do I feel better when working out.

Dude you are AWESOME! I've learned so much from you. In the past 6 months I've lost 30% lbs of fat & reclaimed my health. I'm almost 50 and my energy level is better than when I was in my 20s. I'm no longer depressed and feel hopeless. My mind is clear and spirit is high. Ready to pay it forward and share my journey with family and friends also ready for a positive change in their life. You're a gift. Thank you very much!

Huh? Why did you abruptly stop the video there? It was so relatable to me. I feel shittier and shittier the more time I spend without exercising. Once you've felt it, you can never forget it. It feels like you're missing out on life if you don't get there again.

I'm fat (1m80, 110kg) and probably depressed. I also feel twitchy (anxious?) all the time. I'm 27. I just think exercise is what I need the most. I just can't hop on the train. It's always "meh we'll see later". THanks for the vid, it helps a bit getting on that train.

Seedzification hey have you tried nootropics? Some nootropics can give you energy so that you CAN exercise. Just a thought. Exercising is amazing though. I went from smoking cigarettes and not ever exercising, to running 4-6 miles 5 times a week and I feel amazing.

I hope you’re doing okay, I struggle badly with mental health and exercise helps so much that I don’t need therapy anymore. I really hope that you can find the motivation and that it gives you what you need 💕 a tip is to start a sport or something you love, I started boxing and it made me fall in love with working out. My mom loves rip 60 classes. My girlfriend plays volleyball. My aunt does HIIT cardio. You could try some classes? The community aspect helps with mental health too, you feel less lonely and it lifts your mood

Stop masterbating to porn. It fatigues you and keeps you unmotivated due to a high dopamine relationship with it. Look up NoFap or NoPorn, as well as sperm retention.

I have actually noticed these changes and much more since I started exercising like 3 months ago, like atleast 5-10 km long walks everyday and 3-4 times a week gym. And man o man I a whole different person now, I feel happy almost all the time, super confident, look better, feel better, everything fits better, people started liking me more (maybe bc of looks and my better mood), I am more motivated, I just dont get tired anymore doing things that I would never do more than 30 min. Just try it for a while and ull notice these too I am sure u'll. There is mo negative to exercising except maybe its a bit time consuming.

I was nineteen and still had a few pimples. I ran for the first time…maybe two miles. I came home caught sight of my face in the mirror. My dream skin! Rosy clear skin, bright eyes…and I felt stronger - a tiny bit stronger. I was studying music and I found that a five mile run before a performance seemed to lock in my thoughts. After the run I would relax. The relaxation translated to more focused thinking. I started running and performing every day. It works for math too. I studied multi variable calculus and after a run, I would catch a pace in my thinking and smoothly move through the exam.

go sleep at 10-11 pm wake up at 5-6 am. never eat 3 hours before going to sleep ( your body needs more rest > you will be very tired when you wake up ) 6-7 hours is enough sleep to rest properly when you hear the alarm clock, JUMP out of the bed and the first 20 minutes go excercise( run, abs, jump rope, gym, whatever) I know it is hard but try it for 21 days, just install the new habit It is a game changer
