    I don’t understand what’s wrong with the exercise one, it improves your well-being and energy so you can do more even if short term it would be overdoing it.

      My point was about time management, not if it’s good for you. You could say the same about learning a language, cleaning the house, calling a friend, practicing an instrument, reading a book, playing with your dog, etcetera etcetera. The argument “it’s just 15 minutes” doesn’t work because there are a great many things you could say this about

      I think some people have issues with that time and as much as I try I don’t always take that time to exercise. Basically when cooking starts I (half the time) say it’s time to so some exercises. They are not expansive but depending on some weights can tire you out. Just something to help, plus it got my lower back to stop complaining, not Always but had much fewer issues for being able to sit) so that was a plus. Basically a few targetted exercises over months (yes it takes awhile in the mid age years) helped make it a minimal issue when it was more prevalent before.

        Yeah it’s shocking the difference it makes actually, I’ll start feeling pretty bad all the time and wonder what’s going on and then I realize I stopped exercising for a couple weeks.
