Weight Loss No Reason to Exercise
If you want results, do something you actually enjoy doing.
And when it comes to exercise, the same principle seems to apply.
According to a University of Michigan study, women who exercise because they want to lose weight spend about 40 percent less time exercising than women who work out for other reasons.
Exercise is more likely to become a habit when you do it to reduce stress, increase a sense of well-being, gain a social outlet, or receive joy.
So find an activity you love; you’re more likely to stick with it. [source: BHG/Health]
