Balance and exercise

It would be sort of a good thing if the activities we do, as we go along our life, where easy to evaluate and understand. I can admit parts of what we do can be easy to evaluate and understand. At other times what we do can seem easy to understand and evaluate. Take exercise for instance. We use this much energy to do this and that. Its easy to account for how much energy we take in, and its relatively easy to keep track of oxygenation of the blood, growth of muscle tissue after some period of time if you eat protein and so on. All that is pretty easy, its pretty much high school physics all of it. However, that's NOT the whole story.

Endorphin is released into the body when exercising. It affects perception, muscle strength and overall how we perceive the world and a lot of other things. Thats only the start. There are a bunch of substances that is pumped from the brain into the blood stream. And why not ask yourself what you could be doing instead of exercise. Why not inquire into the whole concept and meaning of "exercise"? In our societies exercise is quite artificial, people go to a certain place, put on certain clothes to do it. That was not the case so often a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago mostly the rich did exercise, the poor didnt have time for such frivolous activity. But still, people knew that if you just sit around and eat or drink beer, you will gain weight.

Well anyway, my judgement tells me i need exercise. I dont really feel like putting on some special clothing and going to a special place to do it, so i move about walking and such, and it comes pretty natural, at least where and how i live now. I try not to regard exercise as anything special or something i "need" to do, instead i try to move, as a natural part of my day. Sometimes i get lazy for one reason or the other, or im busy and that is OK. But i dont go around lying to myself telling myself that im always to busy or lazy.
