Too Busy or Tired to Exercise?
Exercise benefits all aspects of human health, and public health experts all agree that an exercise routine is a must.
The World Health Organization (WHO), for instance, recommends “at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity throughout the week, or do at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both” for all adults.
As people grow older and their lives become busier, however, the fast pace of daily responsibilities, and the accumulated fatigue, may make it harder to find time and energy to exercise. One recent study, published in the Open Heart journal, suggested that matching one’s exercise window to the time in the day when a person feels most awake and alert may be the most beneficial for cardiometabolic health.
