Health and Fitness Reality Check.

I think having your friends and family around is much healthier than exercising vigorously. I mean you can still exercise but would;t it be more fun to exercise with your friends or family? When you hang out with friends for example go shopping, play sports together, etc. you are already exercising without even knowing it. Also when you are stressed out, family and friends will always be there. You can also reduce stress from exercising lightly. According to ADAA survey in 2008, 18% of people reported that that they relieve stress by talking to family and friends, and 29% said they relieve stress by walking. Plus hanging out with the people you are comfortable with releases dopamine in your brain, which makes you feel good. Over all, I think being with your loved ones is more healthier than exercising vigorously alone, at least when you do something together, you get both exercise and having fun.
