Mostly just asking this for a college assignment since I’m a student there, and this is the one I picked out of the twenty I came up with.
Feel free to also answer why you do such exercises, describe the last time you have engaged in physical exercise, and provide any additional thoughts.
Running. My brain struggles to start with anything that requires a lot of actions to get started. Going to the gym, for instance, requires me to grab my stuff, bike to the gym, change clothes, and then keep switching exercises. Any of these actions require me to get over a mental “bridge”, and can thus cause me to stop.
With running I change clothes, put on shoes, and just start running. I can be outside very quickly, before my brain realizes what’s really going on. And once I’m going it seem to cost me more mental energy to stop than to keep going. So for my brain it’s perfect. Barely any setup and almost no “bridges” to cross.
