Why should I exercise if I’m already at a good weight?
Great question! The benefits of exercise run beyond weight loss. Exercise generally improves your health and keeps your system running and in check. Most people report extra clarity of mind relating to exercising as well. Something about chemicals and endorphins. Actually lots of people enjoy exercise, or if they don’t at first—come to enjoy it quite easily.
Why should I exercise if my daily life (programming) does not require significant physical skill?
Why should I exercise if I already go on a short (15 min) daily walk—is more really needed?
Actually that’s probably enough. Numbers cited are usually 30mins of moderate exercise 3 times a week.
I don’t want to feel tired, so exercising doesn’t feel rewarding to me at all
if done correctly you can manage to not feel tired and instead feel energised. Sometimes it’s different types of exercise, sometimes it’s making sure you are eating the right things to help you feel great.
Exercising takes up time, I’d rather not spend this time exercising
QALYS, DALYS, Microlifes. It’s usually quoted that exercising now will increase the length and quality of life later. (with diminishing returns) something like half an hour of exercise will add an extra several hours of life onto the end of your life. So the time returns later. You don’t need to exercise alone or do nothing else. Can listen to books, can enjoy nature, can play a team sport. plenty of options to not make it wasted time.
If you live a longer life because of exercising, how do you know you’re not running a red queen’s race (you have to stay fit lest you get a heart attack 6 months later because it’s old and you die anyway)
You don’t. But if you want your best chance of survival for as long as possible, it’s generally agreed that exercise helps you get there.
Let me have a go:
