I complete your 1k likes 👍 👌😎😁👋

Well change that then

M exactly the same 😭

You just have to get past the first step every day: getting out of bed and out of your house. Trust me, I couldn't do it at first, but over time you get used to it, and you'll be WAY happier. Plus, you sleep much better at night knowing that you got some stuff done. Also, I learned that ONLY laying in bed when you're going to sleep actually leads to much better sleep, which in turn leads to a better mood + more energy during the day. Baby steps, trust the process, and know that it gets WAY easier the more you do it.

It's also the other way around: Your depression takes your motivation.

Same here. Even though I'm not a couch potato, every day I feel like my life is being wasted

+EPICFINALBOSS adderall is the most wonderful drug in the world. I have been taking it for 10 years. I am 29 and look 21 and it has completely transformed my life, all vices like over eating, being lazy and procrastinating, day dreaming about "success" has been replaced by productivity. Anyone who says adderall is bad, or it's just like Meth or it could be dangerous, my only response is "where is the proof?" Unlike oxycotin or other prescription drugs, when is the last time you met an adderall addict? The drug has been around for like 70 years, it's safe to say all of those news pieces about the "adderall epidemic on campus" has been an annual oped for the past 20 years.

+Pete Sandwich I hate how it makes me feel though...even if it does help with the other stuff...

But I think you need to do something about it. Do you feel happy?

Zogg from Betelgeuse is this some kind of alien propaganda, to make us ready-for-conquer, basic-level-difficulty civilization? All things you mention were meant to speed up processes, so other (or more) things would be possible. Many of us are lazy, but i don't think individuals responsible for those inventions, were also lazy. Actually, they wanted to do even more. Sadly, most of us are not really shaping tomorrow. Wait, pizza taxi? Laziness is a driving force towards the oceans. Look how many humans in first world countries resemble small whales. If we continue this way, soon gravity will be unbearable and land locomotion will became thing of a past. Life will be naval again. As for sports, I get your point, but we have to remember, that without it, there would be a lot of unchanneled energy. With current social and intellectual development of our species, i would fear the consequences. Indoor rowing, and sports in general, might be irrational, but for now it spawns only minor threats. And hey, my back doesn't hurt when i run with air chambered sneakers on.

It's called technology ..

***** That person does not even make sense. You can't be lazy to drive a car lol if you're driving, pay FUCKING attention! I don't get the mathematics thing ._.

I cracked up after I read the last part.

Both the sports gene and the couch potato gene probably had their advantages and disadvantages in paleolithic times. The couch potato gene may have been advantageous in hunting in heavily wooded regions or in fishing as this requires a lot of just sitting around and waiting. It also would have tended to allow it's owner to conserve energy. The sports gene would have been more advantageous in situations that required actively searching out things like nuts and berries or chasing prey in open areas.

Lol I had 9...

Humans are naturally lazy. Look at the life we have now. This is the kind of life out ancestors wanted that's why they invented things that made everything easier for them.

***** Yes, yes I do!

***** I dare say that can be attributed to diet and metabolism more than physical activity. :)

Cookiofshadows2 Hmm...let's see, I eat cheese and chocolate, as well as sweets (tic tacs, fruit pastilles, etc) so it's all because of my metabolism...I think that it may be a good thing that I DON'T exercise!

It wouldn't be entirely metabolism. It would also depend on how much and how often you eat. :)

Cookiofshadows2 Uhh...well...about that...

Hi

Good idea. You'll do nothing but still be helpful.

Trees are incredibly active and not at all lazy. Trees are busy growing all day and night plus photosynthesizing using sunlight and making air with Oxygen in it for us to breathe plus creating homes for animals and places for kids to climb. They're surviving long cold winters even when deer chew on them and they lose some of their essential bodily fluids such as tree sap. Plus using the hardened tree sap like a scab to cover their injury every time an animal bites them or a person cuts them or breaks off their limbs or a storm hits them. Xylem and phloem flowing up and down their bodies all day and night, working hard to get that water out of the ground using their roots all the way to the very top of their leaves and branches because you can't have healthy leaves without getting water up to them. Growing new leaves. Processing soil minerals and incorporating them into their bodies. Sending out chemical signals to attract soil bacteria to help them get Nitrogen they need from the soil. Sending out chemical signals to communicate with other nearby trees that an animal or an insect is eating them so other trees in the tree grove can increase their production of toxic chemicals to protect them all against the bugs. Working hard to produce good smelling flowers so they can be pollinated and turn into fruits. Making just the right hormones so the fruits will be ripe at the exact time that the seeds are ready to be carried somewhere far away from the parent tree to be planted by a fruit eating animal that is gonna poop them out. So that the baby trees don't die from not having enough sunlight or water, they have to be carried some distance away from the mom/dad tree, otherwise there will be too much shade and the baby trees will die. So that piece of fruit needs to taste really good for seed dispersal to happen. So as you can see trees are not lazy, they are constantly doing things. It is just a different way of being alive.

U seriously need to go outside and exercise so you can feel stong,motivated,happier,improve you grades,improve your learning.If exercise was a medicine it would be the best medicine to prevent so many stuff.

Nothing is your fault. Everything is determined by the initial state of the universe.

Indy7272 Assuming that the world is deterministic, not indeterministic.

Paul Vinell We cant prove that whole universe is deterministic but according to all studies, human behavior is deterministic, there is no free will. So there really cant be anything like "your fault".

Indy7272 I'm personally a fan of determinism (and find it more likely than the opposite)! I was just stating a hypothetical.

Renata Yepez How does would neuroscience even explain that?

But what is life without God?

mareeyo1 Well, if I remember correctly, when you sleep, your body paralyzes itself so that you don't physically enact your dreams and potentially hurt yourself. Sometimes our bodies neglect to turn off the paralysis. There are some disorders where too much of whatever paralysis inducing chemical is released and it takes longer to wear off. There are also disorders with the opposite problem where too little or no paralysis inducing chemical is released. These people act out whatever their dream is and often sleep walk/talk.

Lol but it is true

+MandarinCat Depends on their occupation before and after they had you. Are they physically active all the time at work or do they just sit in a office at work?

***** Well my mom is physically active all the time. She doesn't work, but she's always doing something either around the house or doing everything for everyone. There is always something she has to do. My father passed away many years ago, but he was a soldier and even became a Major. Every day he would exercise. And he died from overworking himself, causing himself physical problems that became worse simply because he wouldn't sit down and rest his injury.

Because you suck at it and you know it. But if you do it enough to start getting good at it, you will feel good about it.

After exercise your body needs to build up again. If you dont workout that often, you will need to relax for a longer time to feel fit and fresh again than if you were exercising regularly.

aleksander706 you mean like biking 10 km every schoolday to get from and to school

I have no clue what these kids are telling you here, but the reason the "reward system" doesnt apply to your PE class in school or wherever, is because you are NOT doing it for a reward. You are merely in your PE class as a curriculum of school, a required class, and therefore you treat it with as much hate as the hate towards other classes. IF you worked out regularly for a self-reward like say "lose weight goal", then you will feel rewarded having done so, but to do something forcefully is not going to make you feel any better, mentally or psychologically, although it can help physically.

copjing robbbyyy25 When physical actives are for you, you hate them. If they are not, you wouldn't be hating them. You would find them annoying at most. And you do get rewards. When you do them properly you get stronger, faster, etc. And that does feel good, even if you are the biggest nerd on the planet. It pays off and you can clearly see it. It's simple rewarding. Also there is very rarely a kid that doesn't love PE the most during elementary grade. Until/during that age kids are very active, so they are good at being active. Eventually some stop being as active as before, so it gets harder for them to do it, they are bad at it now. And then you see them just sitting somewhere during PE, while everyone else is enjoying themselves. That happens especially to girls, since until a certain age they love to play just like the boys do, but then suddenly playing with the boys and/or like them stops being something that a girl does, so they don't do it, get bad. Even most teachers agree with this by saying how normal is for girl to not do any physical actives and so they give them good grades, without wanting anything in return. It's a combination of mindset and what you do because of it. And when you do (not do) something, there are consequence, results. And these results get out even more in this mindset. For example: "Playing video games all day is a lot more fun that playing football." -> you get better at playing videos games, worse and worse at playing football -> "Video games are tons of fun (and have a lots people to play them with). Football is stupid."

Staying still without doing nothing and only staring at your screen/display, is very unhealthy

I think it's more likely to do these things, laziness can be learned, just like a hard work ethic can.

Genetic doesn't always mean your mother or father. It can always skip a generation or two.

Too lazy to read all that but yea...I can agree

How the hell is walking dangerous and difficult? What one has to do to change lifestyle and be healthier is really not that much. 30 minutes of walking a day does ALOT for the body.

gjozefi There are no sidewalks out here. You either have to walk in the road or right next to it (dangerous), or go traipsing through a bunch of knee high grass, ditches, briers and shit (difficult). And everything is far away, like 2 miles to the nearest anything. Sure, if you're just walking in a neighborhood to get exercise, that's not bad, but my point is that you have to do that as a dedicated activity. When I lived in the city I walked everywhere because it was easier (even quicker sometimes), so I got exercise without even thinking about it. To get a similar amount of walking in the suburbs, you have to take extra time out of your day to walk in circles around your neighborhood just for the sake of walking. It's frustrating. It's not like that can't be overcome, but I'm trying to paint a picture of the large number of small pressures and incentives that make it so living healthy is not default. The changes you have to make are small, sure, but they are many, and they're all in competition with much easier, more natural feeling choices.

Taylor Bennett Driving a car is more dangerous then walking next to a road :P

Joseph Dunkowski I'm pretty sure that the greater statistical likelihood is due to the much greater number of people driving than walking. But now that I think about it, I don't think *perceived* danger can be discounted here. We're talking about incentives here, after all. Cars passing you at 45mph *seem* a lot more dangerous when you're not in a car yourself.

Taylor Bennett When your in a car yourself not only could you be in danger but you could become a danger to others as well.

Yes, everything is one's parent's fault.

Americans love sports, yet so many are fat. Go figure!

BadgerCheese94 americans love watching sport. "A new government study estimates that nearly 80 percent of adult Americans do not get the recommended amounts of exercise each week"

Steve Mitchell just youre wrong with no supporting evidence. I just repost what i commented on the other comment "A new government study estimates that nearly 80 percent of adult Americans do not get the recommended amounts of exercise each week"

"if you grow up doing sports you will like sports" - bullshit, I'm the best example to disproof it..

Hey! Don't you dare insult our fatness.. Listen mate, us Americans love watching sports k? We don't exercise

Well Jesus, God made you so you only have him to blame for your shortcomings, you know, manipulative amassing followers and being a compulsive liar. :D

Jesus Christ, you scared me

Nice one Jesus. You got time to comment on a youtube video, but when it comes to answering my prayers you be ducking me. alright Jesus I see how it it.

Quaron Leslie say that in Homer Simpsons voice.

Why are you watching ASAP SCIENCE? Hmmmmm..

***** Was that sarcasm?

***** Yeah, I like to see that she exercises because it keeps her healthy. However, I really don't like that she doesn't accept the way me and my brother are; we simply don't have the motivation or need to exercise. It gets very frustrating, because she won't understand it. I know that it's good to exercise, but I wish she would just accept it.

That is how I feel. I am not happy without exercise. Exercise is literally like an anti-depressant to me. Or, a stimulant. Without it, I'm just miserable. It's interesting the point you make, because it makes me wonder how other people can NOT be so energized by fitness like myself. Helps me see the other side of the spectrum! :)

I think you're missing the point of this video. It's not that you're genetically coded to not want to do something such as exercise and eating. It goes more along the lines of if you're lazy and don't do anything about it you'll stay lazy and reap everything that goes along with it... Shorter life, unable to jog a 100 yards without being winded, getting injured more often as you age and so on. If you don't have the desire to want to change the result of any of those then that's your choice but will give your children a predisposition for those as well. All of it can be changed though through action... Your genes will change based on your activities of daily living. I challenge you to re-watch this with that mind set and then maybe you'll understand your mom's motherly concern for her children and for them to be active.

Eric Start I understand that. What I wanted to understand was why my mom has such a need to exercise. It's not just motherly concern for us, it's more than that, trust me. She just cannot be happy if she doesn't exercise and she refuses to even try to undestand that we aren't like that. I'm not the happiest person and she thinks that my lack of exercise is the reason, while the reasons are so much different and more complicated than that.

I'm kinda curious about this too because it leaves humanity in a place where you need one person with trait A to support the person with trait B, and vice-versa. Why not have both traits in one person

Maybe the smartest people spend more time reading and studying than the people who does more exercice and is more athletic

Or maybe most smart people's brains prioritize knowledge over physical health?

kik4444 I would definitely agree there. They get rewarded by their brains from learning rather than gettting fit. Makes a lot of sense.

I'm not sure there is a direct correlation causation type of deal going here because there are a lot of variables.. I think it is just the fact that they spend more time in the books that in the gym. By that token the most athletic people may not be as smart because they might not be in the books as much? Also consider that many stupid people are also unfit haha so it's a really cool thing to investigate!
