Their jobs are probably exercise in itself. A lot more so than my desk-based role. Flying fingers don't burn a lot of calories!!
by Anonymous2 weeks ago
Depends on the job tbh. I work 3 part-time roles and 2 are desk jobs. The third is partially heavy lifting or running around, and partially sitting around doing nothing. I'm still tired by the end of the day cause I come home from doing work to hop on the computer to do more work, but it's frustrating to always be mentally but not physically exhausted.
by Anonymous2 weeks ago
I used to feel this way when I was younger. I was the wake up at 5am to hit the gym type. I couldn't possibly understand why anyone could not make time for regular exercise. My advice for you OP is to find a bit of empathy. Not everyone is in the same position as you? Do you have kids? Do you know what it's like to be a caregiver to a person with a chronic illness? Do you know what it's like to have an accident and experience chronic pain? Do you know what it's like to lose a loved one and fall into a deep depression? Do you know what it's like to have to work three jobs in order to survive? Do you know what it's like to have a baby/toddler who does not sleep at night and every day you run in empty? Do you know what it's like to be single parent? What about a parent of children with disabilities? Do you know what it's like to live in an unsafe community where "playing outside" is not an option? People have life circumstances that you may not know about or ever understand. It's a privilege to have the time, energy, and physical/mental capacity to exercise. Enjoy your privilege and encourage others who seek it.

by Anonymous2 weeks ago
It Riles me up a bit when people who enjoy exercising or who obsess a bit over how they look preach to me the importance of exercise to my long-term health. I was a very physically active as a Young man but it was all because I enjoyed it. The fact that it was good for me was a mirror happy coincidence. The people who struggle to make time for exercise don't like exercise and they're only reason for doing it is probably further health only. Another way of looking at it is people who exercise for their only for their long-term health are most likely to have the most trouble with motivation. Everybody should save a third of their income for retirement. Not sure how I could manage that if I were working a low-wage job and had a couple of kids.

Housework is exercise too! Now I am quite privileged because I don't do much - don't cook, laundry is picked up and delivered by laundromat and groceries are delivered. BUT I have complete respect for mothers who juggle with kids and doing housework because that's extremely tiring. Anyone who thinks they're superior because they are some gymbro is trash. If they were that secure about themselves, they wouldn't need to belittle others and make themselves sound like some special little trinket. The real reason for such gymbro antics is they are highly unloved or neglected by parents, poor at communication, personality of a curtain rod and nobody would give them any attention unless they hype themselves up with gymbro and hydrohomies trash talk. Now there's nothing wrong with going to the gym and enjoying it. But people who truly enjoy exercising at the gym do not go around being condescending gymbros and hydrohomies. There is a huge difference. Such people don't realise this reveals what awful lives they lead and is the impetus for them to carve a whole identity out of moving their bodies and drinking water like it's specially acquired for them.

I look perfectly healthy, but no one can tell by looking at me that my joints are in constant pain and prevent me from being able to work out. I have an issue with my knee called patella alta, which essentially means that my kneecap is higher then it's supposed to be which can cause it to give out or dislocate. I also have carpal tunnel which makes any exercise using my hands painful

I would love to spend the kind of time at the gym that I used to pre-baby. But husband is away doing training for months, I work a full-time demanding job, so my time is very much consumed with a baby, pets, and a house to tend to. I can sneak a small work out here and there (thankfully I have equipment at home), but if the baby wakes up early from a nap and wants to party, I hop off the treadmill and tend to him. Also, sometimes life is exhausting and there aren't family and friends around to help out (not that they are ever obligated to). Fitness is a priority to me, but everything else is more of a priority at the moment.

You're kinda just playing semantics at that point. In the context of "I don't have time to exercise," OP obviously means people that are out of shape saying that they don't have the time to perform activities regularly to get in shape. Whether it's picking up weights or repaving their driveway. They feel that work and whatever obligations at work are in the way of being active and getting in shape (what most people would just call "exercise" for brevity.) I don't think people who are active as a part of their job are super concerned if they can't fit in gym time, too. In reality I still think your original point is true. They think being active isnt a good enough use of their time to prioritize it, otherwise they'd make time for it.

It really depends on the person. Someone working two jobs, seven days each week and neither job allows you to even jog in place but commands standing at all times (cashiering jobs, fast food jobs) and only has six hours to sleep each night really doesn't have time. If you have a desk job that is low security where you can bring in items from home you can do an under-desk pedaling machine, but that only exercises one section of your body. I know there have been times I was in meetings back to back every day for two weeks, then caught a flight that boarded right after security and then another week of working on a project 6am-5pm (ate while working and standing). Not everyone can find the time. And people hungry, working hard, exhausted, and averaging six hours of sleep per night through no fault of their own can't safely balance on a machine for 30 minutes.
by claudie892 weeks ago
I work out a ton nowadays. I lift 4-5 times a week most weeks and I walk daily for 30-45 mins. Super easy. 5 years ago I was working 65+ hours a week and traveling for work 40,000 miles a year. On call 24/7, swing shift, lots of stress. Zero motivation and time for exercise even though I wanted to. It's SO much easier to exercise with more free time and it isn't even up for debate imo.

If the gym had zero effect on how your body looked but still gave you the same health benefits, theyd be empty. Once your life goals don't rely on your looks anymore, there's really no incentive.

by zoila372 weeks ago
It's actually a good excuse for people. Exercise is a big commitment, at least if you do quality exercise and want to see real results. Sure, people could just fit in 15-30 minutes a day of something, but it's not enough unless you are already fairly healthy. When I did cross country and track in high school and college, it took up a huge chunk of my time. I was in amazing shape but I was committing a ton of my life to it those sports. You also have to factor in recovery/ rest time as well. If you're not used to exercising, it will take time for your body to build muscle and strength. I do think that people should try to find the time to exercise, but I also think people need to be educated better about physical fitness and how to approach it. I know elementary PE scared me out of fitness and until high school, most PE teachers were just angry people yelling at kids about playing dodgeball or basketball, they weren't properly teaching us about how to approach athletics. Anyone can exercise, you don't have to do sports, it's just more about how you approach it.

Some people are too busy to work out. I guess they could prioritize the gym but that could mean not having enough to cover rent, groceries or utilities. If you have kids especially young ones it makes it harder. You want and need to spend time with them instead of the gym. If more gyms were family friendly maybe, but they aren't unless it's the YMCA. I work full time, do a side gig, and help homeschool my kids. When I get home at night I just want to relax and not do a workout especially since I already walk 5-7 miles a day at my job. Sometimes I'll do a quick yoga thing but most nights I'm too tired.

I get this take and honestly it applies to me. Cause I have time and don't consistently go to the gym like I should. But there actually are some people who don't have time.

Like if our cities were walkable and had good transit we would be more active just by doing the basic chores we need to do. Instead we drive everywhere.

I feel I have lived a blessed life that let me prioritize time in the gym but it just isn't that way for everyone.
by ComfortableLaugh17382 weeks ago
Congrats on knowing the definition of excuse. Though I think you probably meant that it's an invalid excuse. Though the more I think about it, "complete excuse" would seem to be closer in definition to "valid excuse". I wouldn't say I'm too busy to exercise, but I'm definitely too busy to work out just for the sake of working out. I prefer to get my exercise while actually accomplishing something. Like, if I have to take my car in to the shop, I'll walk the 5.5 miles home from my mechanic's instead of calling an uber or something. Little things like that. Working out just to work out will never not be boring to me, and if it bores me and doesn't pay me money, I'm too busy for it.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. I work everyday but I find time either in the morning or evening to go our for a hike in my neighborhood nature reserve or Olympic park. I walk two hours to my destination, then I walk and hike for about an hour or an hour and a half, then make another two hours to walk back for dinner or brunch. Most definitely not hard to work out at least once a day. My friend also works overtime and she hits the gym everyday. When I tell people I walk 16000 to 20000 steps every day, some of them call me a liar and insult me to deny their lazy lifestyle choices and excuses. When I actually have recorded proof on my walking apps/step counter. And when I show them proof they lie that these apps and machines are faulty lmfao… just strange.

If you mean benching your own weight a flat stomach and good pectoral development, then not everyone can. These aren't high on the fitness list of difficult things such as a front lever, a full planch, or shoulder pressing your body weight, but they require more work than 10 minutes a day for sure.

It's not just about having time, you also have to have the energy to exercise. As well as access to a place to work out. Not everyone has a neighborhood that's safe to run in or has the space/ privacy to do basic exercises like push-ups and sit-ups.

I know, right ? Like those with disabilities or mental disorders should just get off their lazy asses and put in work. Lift heavy, right. LIGHTWEIGHT BABY!

Unless of course you obsess on exercise and wear out your joints, then you'll definitely be paying for it later in life.

Calisthenics is the best way to go when you have kids to look after. It's hard to do 2 hr daily commutes round trip with 8+ hours of work and have dinner ready while also looking after the kids and getting alone time. The best solution I could come up with is basic calisthenics equipment and a weighted vest. 30 mins a day is reasonable. However if you kid is a baby who needs feeding every 2hrs or less, recovery would take a couple days longer so keep that in mind. Getting some exercise however limited is better than being sedentary and getting problems at age 40.
