Running For Your Life: Depression and Exercise



My idea of exercise is a good brisk sit. ~Phyllis Diller
Unlike the lovely Ms. Diller, I love to exercise. It gets me going in the morning, it gives me energy throughout the day, it fights the ravages of age. I love it enough to want to talk about it--a lot. I like to discuss the new poses I've learned in yoga, my recent switch from the treadmill to the elliptical, some of the pilates moves that may not sculpt me like they do the instructor, but which are challenging nonetheless.
However, I've learned that, in order to maintain even a modicum of popularity, I really do need to limit the time spent on this topic. Apparently not everyone shares my tremendous enthusiasm. In fact, I'm coming to the perplexing conclusion that many people--sit down for this--just do not like to exercise.
