Even though this blog is about procrastinating and being distracted in general, I have found a way to procrastinate while being productive at the same time. I am a firm believer that it is better to do something than to do nothing. If you have the free time (or want to procrastinate), exercise!
Not only will it give you something else to do besides work, but it’s good for your body and your mind.
Working out is statistically proven to release endorphins, thereby increasing happiness and improving mental health.
Of course, there are the obvious benefits to working out which includes getting in shape, losing weight and creating a healthier lifestyle. There are also long-term benefits that affect the body. Studies have shown that regular exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease, one of the leading causes of death in the United States.
One way to exercise and feel obligated to work out several days a week is to get a gym membership. Knowing that your money is going to something, you should probably take full advantage of the resources at your disposal.
But exercising doesn’t have to be expensive at all. In fact, it can even be free. Anyone on any budget can find a way to exercise, whether it is to take a walk outside, or buy an inexpensive work out DVD.
So, as Vince Vaughn says in Wedding Crashers, “No excuses play like a champion!”
