Vita Medelyte What would you classify a person that believe it’s just a glass? I believe an realist now considering your post I’m thinking arrogance.

I sometime see my glass half empty, cracked. And leaking!

An Engineer, why did they over design the glass?

@@geofru No, an engineer would calculate the eaxct amount of liquid :')

existentialist: The glass is nauseating.

musty thank you!

musty thanks

Thanks!

thanks

Thanks 👍

you're not breaking it down enough. "competition" it's because you feel inadequate around others. So you should focus on that and expose yourself more to others to get used to it and exercise alone if it's easier.

thats a good thing, every ones life is about competing my friend in one way or another, so my question is are you going to do what's easy ? to have a hard life or do what's hard ? to have a easy life ? please dont run from a happy life my friend

Nothing wrong with a little competition

@@mitchellbaker4806 Wow. You are miserable, eh?

That can be a common problem for people who are not generally athletically inclined. I have a twin brother and he was always more athletic than me. I did OK but generally was not interested in organized sports. To this day my fingers are a bit twisted from being sprained trying to catch a football flying over my head when I was a teenager, I'm now in my 60s. My brother was always the quarterback or the shortstop. I did not have the athletic prowess that he had but I was always very active physically. We had a paper route at 6:00am we had to walk miles to complete. We lived on a big hill and had to go up and down whenever we went anywhere. My brother and I would play catch, or ping pong, we were always outside doing things. So to this day I prefer just to go for a walk, or kayak, or hike, or some other activity that is not a competitive sport and doesn't require to be in a gym or organize lots of people. You don't have to do a sport or even do repetitive exercises to get your body in shape. There are plenty of activities that can achieve good results that you may not think of as exercising. Bike riding is another one. That's what I prefer to a smelly gym anyway! Also at some point I started taking Tai Chi lessons and I really liked that. I got quite good at it. It's not a competitive sport, you can do it at your own pace and it's very healthy to keep the joints, muscles and bones in good shape. Anyone can do it. I've taught classes for all ages. I find now that I am older my joints are in much better shape than my brothers. I love my brother but now as we get older I think I could move faster then he can surprisingly due to this slow moving exercise. I really encourage people to get some form of activity. Don't think of it as exercise if that has negative associations from your past. Gym classes are just a very narrow band of physical activity, not always the best for everyone.

Same for me. I go running outside because I like the scenery and the fresh air, not just to lose weight. If all I'm supposed to do is focus on my fitness targets, I'll be miserable.

Everyone is different. Plus it depends on location. That's why I hate walking or running on a track.

Same

Yeah absolutely! When I go running with a friend, we talk and I totally get distracted from the fact that I am actually working out. I run twice the distance and I am not even half so tired than when I go alone :D Once I did a hike with 1000 m of elevation difference with a friend and when I was supposed to describe it to another friend I actually said it was quite flat, I just got totally distracted from the steepness :D

EPSTomcat11 I interview David Allen on this..

👌I am overweight. When I exercise, the pressure on my feet soles make them really sore.

Start small. 🙂

It may be more difficult, but that doesn't change the distance

Exercise is easier for unfit people because they do less of it😆

You can do 15 crunches a day and get into shape

It's not that hard to figure out yourself. How about you set yourself a target on the treadmill? Time spent or speed? That's your target. Your prize.

Yes I agree with you and actually just made a similar comment. This study is a horrible misrepresentation and definitely fishes for supportive data.

Yeah I would definitely like to read the study

Lol, when I am on the treadmill I keep my "eyes on the prize" by focusing on the timer, heartrate and other measurements on the treadmill. Use even the tiniest bit of imagination and I'm sure you could figure out what to focus on for other activities.

Pete Lightedge set small and manageable short term goals and celebrate your accomplishments

Something that always helped me as cheesy as it is is every morning that when you wake up go to the mirror say you are amazing or you were beautiful or some complement yourself one it boost your self-esteem two helps subconsciously actually become true in the mind because repetition is amazing when believing and I’ve noticed it really helps me feel better in general making exercise seem not so bad

Pete Lightedge - Set goals you CAN see first. Pretty soon you look up and see the finish line.

Plus it ignores reasons like dyspraxia for why you might misjudge distances. Or other things which effect executive functions which govern spatial processing. For example, I used to walk up the hill from the train station to school (and back down again in the afternoon) every day but I can't tell you want that distance was. No idea. I could tell you the route I took, so you could work it out. I can tell you how many tracks of a specific album I used to listen to a lot at that time it would take to get up the hill or to the different sets of traffic lights where the pedestrian crossings were. But I've never had an idea of time either - I am just totally time blind, my body clock doesn't work. So I don't know how long it took me other than in non-equal song lengths. I could look up the songs and calculate it I guess, but that's not helpful. And I have no idea what speed I would have been walking at. Sort of in time with the music, but I don't know the bpm, so can't figure out the speed that would be. The physics equation linking distance, speed, and time requires you to know at least two to figure out the third. If you can't perceive time and can't tell what speed you are going, you can't tell how far something is. If you can't figure out the distance or the time, then you can't figure out speed. So your perception of distance whilst exercising will be flawed just due to that. Not how fit you are, not what body shape you have. Not whether or not you need prescription glasses. And probably everyone has experienced that thing where you've been wandering around somewhere all day (maybe sightseeing) and your feet (or hands if wheeling your chair, or whatever) are in pain from all the walking and you can see the hotel/your house and you're getting closer and closer, but it looks further away than ever because the last bit is always the biggest slog. Its the worst bit!

JamesCWL CWL that’s what I was thinking

Also waist circumference is so variable it's just not a useable metric.

You got it wrong. Yes, hips are narrower and wider based on the bones. But the wasit/belly is not. If you measure the difference of the hip bones and around the belly you can get an idea of fat percentage.

Well actually i have a very short waist, because i have very high hips, so my (wide) hipbones are so close to my ribcage that in between the two i can not have a thin waist, no mattet how fit i am, because that is my bonestructure. Of course if i gain weight, my waist will get bigger, but my waist will never be small.

@@marlieskonijnenburg-ruisch2225 same here. My entire body is rather short without being small. The only way to get a small waist in my case would be a corset and well, I'm not gonna go down that road

The point being made here is that you could actually use more direct operationalization metrics of physical fitness that comes from the sports physiology literature and see if the effects still hold. If so, that would be more impressive. Or use change in physical fitness (within subject delta). Or randomly assign different participant groups to different effective levels of fitness improvement treatments and see if the more robust treatments are more likely to lead to this effect. A true experiment would address the genetics confound.

Creamy Goodness The paper is referenced from the link in the video Description.

I asked myself the same question. A touch ambiguous; nonetheless, interesting talk.

it is an average of the tested subjects. they probably asked them on a scale from 1-10 how hard it was and the difference between both groups in % is 17% that number is not surprising at all.

That's when i quit listening.

A 10km walk is more about the journey than the result, better look sideways. If you consider the time spent and results it's very ineffective. A common mental strategy for marathon is to create shorter goals to make the effort more manegable

The end is probably where you started. Just staying at home gives the same result then. 🤔

Yep. It's all about habit. Don't miss a workout for two months and it becomes habit. Just like brushing your teeth before bed. Dieting is easier than ever. Get a calorie counting app and a food scale. Spend 2 hours cooking and planning meals with helps of app and scale. Then just eat that food all week. Simple.

@@brandonj6548 Habit does not equal love.

Yes. Exercise is for building muscle-mass and increase conditioning. Loosing weight is all diet.

Well, the girls didn't think so when I kissed them head first.

if you think your genetics are an excuse, google images of Georges St. Pierre and know that his genetics make it hard to put on muscle.

Yeah, defiantly poorly titled.

It’s just a clickbait title to bring in more viewers.

- I think the key word there was predict, which indicates correlation rather than causation

Second that.

Eat more legumes

Marie Mai The same used ti happen to me until I went to the doctor and found out I have asthma.

@@randomgirl01300 I have that as well! But I also get dizzy from anxiety and concussions.

Hey Max, what do you say we build a startup around that?

You have to understand most people fear the onset of pain thereby, your conclusion is also not plausible.

The prize seems so open ended, not a clear cut as a fighting match. I think the talk should be more about developing motivation, the same kind of motivation a fighter might have.

Uhh no. She’s a psychological researcher. In a research setting yes you can assume causation by controlling for other variables through experimental design. You’re stating a common misconception that only applies to observational data

Yes, I was like... this would work for a short distance where you can see a finish line, but how would this help when on a treadmill, or lifting weights, a 5k, etc... where you can't see the end or have anything that looks like "the prize". I kept hoping she would go further then she did. XD

It depends, are you working on having a successful business, career? Have more time with family? Financial freedom? A vacation? A particular vehicle, a car or a boat perhaps? Life will move aimlessly unless a goal is marked and written down. If you don't have one yet. Sit down and think about it. If it still doesn't come, don't worry it eventually will :)

😂 It probably is!

partner348 I spent the whole video guessing what she looked like without the dress...

The dress was a distraction to me too, I loved it AND her choice of bracelet to go with it! haha!

I thought the same thing, but I would add -- how long she must've shopped for that dress to look thin.

Jeet Kumar I like time better

I don't have time or money, but I exercise at least an hour a day. I don't care if it takes an hour of sleep away from me.

It's cheaper to commute by bicycle than any other method if you take care of your bike. I live in a small city in the U.S. and bus passes are $300 a year.

Jeet Kumar - no time or money... excuses.

That's just an excuse. See yourself as an opportunity.

Bee Rizzle Yeah, lol.

Care about what?

True! Some people aren’t taught to value themselves enough.

Yep - Or believe they can get whatever they want with the least amount of effort.

@@BeppyCat .."care" about whatever exercise can do or change - really depends on the "it". "IT" can be more money, better health, attract a mate, walk faster, relieve pain, drive a car, fit into a seat...the list goes on. Society prescribes exercise as a solution to a host of symptoms and not everyone believes exercise it the answer, so they are less motivated to care about planning a strategy to exercise. :-)

I believe it. Let's not forget the bigotry that comes from the other side as well that clouds or prevents people from seeing truth.

As a psychic, I see dead people and also those people who are going to die.

Losing...not loosing.

Exactly. I lost the same amount of weight by eating less and "healthier". Not hard at all

I need to hire you as my coach..

Agree.

true. running after a football or basketball is fun so you dont feel like youre toiling away just working

Some people don't "train their mind" to react a certain way, sometimes the mind is the one training you. And as someone who doesn't exercise: sometimes there is stuff in the aisle I want to look at because I've never seen it before. Or maybe the colour was intriguing or it looked tasty. Sometimes I stroll around slowly because the sky looks pretty or I saw a flower that I haven't seen in a long time or the birds sound really beautiful. Sometimes I sit in my bed because I can't get my body to move because subconsciously I don't see the worth or purpose in it. Sometimes I just enjoy doing nothing, listening to my thoughts as they come and go. Sometimes the world is just too beautiful to hast through it. Why take the shortest path when the long ones are so much more interesting even tho less effective? Why go to a fitness studio to work out or exercise when there are so much more ways to keep your body healthy? I don't need a treadmill or a course to run when I can ride a horse every now and then or go for a stroll through nature. Of course, just sitting around without ever moving doesn't benefit your body but why would people care to move out of a box they were put into? Why get out when all you encounter is that same box over and over again?

You’re actually stereotyping with assumptions... I struggle exercising but I’m actually quite fast, busy and I get what I need in the store and leave. I even speak fast for goodness sake and I most definitely don’t get home and sit down, in fact I have a job that requires me to be active. I just don’t exercise coz I guess I’m low key okay with my weight. Just don’t generalize us like that... that makes you worse than this ted talk woman

Lesego Lelaletse you “i don’t exercise because I am okay with my weight.” Not sure who lied to you to make you believe exercises was just about weight management

David Adesegun that makes it less appealing for many people. When you tell people they won’t even lose weight thorough exercise, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to do it anymore. People need to see positive effects from something to keep doing it. For example, when you start cooking at home you immediately see your waistline shrink and your wallet fatten up. You don’t see any immediate positive effects from exercise.

It's not dichotomous. There's plenty of meandering going on in America, just look at gun control.

@@soldsanity Good point.

Well, I don't suppose I will come and check it by then. 🙂

@Andy Evans Cole? Izzat you?
