What the hell? Why do busier people have more time to do

"I really want to exercise, but I just don't have the time. I'm too busy!" This is what many people say when it comes to running, exercising, and fitness.

Wait a minute! It is said that US President Obama exercises at least six days a week, each time for about 45 minutes, and only rests on Sundays. The first thing he does after getting up every morning is to rush into his gym and start exercising. So even if he is the president, he dares to go shirtless in public and show off his strong body.

Obama's story is a little far away from us. After all, he spends most of his time in the United States, across the ocean. But look at Pan Shiyi and his wife Zhang Xin, who often share the joy of running on their Weibo; Mao Daqing, general manager of Vanke Beijing Branch, also likes running and has now started running marathons; Zhang Mei, the founder of Bishan Travel Agency, is also a running enthusiast. She also has a small circle of mothers who love running, and they often share their running and fitness experiences together.

Why do busier people have more time to exercise?

If you talk about being busy, you certainly can't compare with Obama. He is the president of a big country, dealing with both American and global affairs, and he is extremely busy. If you talk about being busy, it is also difficult to compare with the entrepreneurs and senior managers mentioned above. They wish they had three heads and six arms to run their businesses.

I guess these people are busier than you. But why do busier people have more time to exercise? The reasons are roughly as follows:

First, they realize the importance of physical health and put fitness at the top of their priorities. Therefore, no matter how busy these people are at work, they must set aside enough time for exercise. You might as well think about whether the running shoes and gym membership you bought on impulse have been put aside for various reasons.

Secondly, these busy people are more efficient in time management. They can distinguish between what work is important and urgent and what is important but not urgent. Many people waste most of their time browsing Weibo, browsing shopping websites, or chatting in WeChat groups. These people often feel dizzy and very tired at the end of the day. How can they have the time and interest to go to the gym!

The last and most important reason is that they discovered the fun of fitness. If a person perseveres in engaging in exercise that often makes him sweat profusely, it must be because he finds pleasure in it, and it is not just for the purpose of losing weight, or reducing fatty liver or the "three highs" index during physical examinations. Only when a person experiences this kind of pleasure can he truly immerse himself in it and persist in it.

Therefore, if you go to the gym just to lose weight, it is estimated that you will hardly lose any weight and you will hardly be able to stick to the gym.
