We all know we should be exercising more, especially those of us whose work requires a lot of computer time. (Hello, fellow writers!)

This is a pretty fun way of thinking about it, though.

How exercise may be the ‘most potent medical intervention ever known’ | PBS News

One of the things I regularly tell my patients — I’m a cardiologist — is that one minute of exercise buys you five minutes of extra life, which means you definitely have time to exercise, because, even if you exercise even a little bit higher intensity, you get seven or eight minutes of extra life.

So you definitely have time to make in your day to exercise. — Euan Ashley, professor of cardiovascular medicine and genetics at Stanford University

It’s like compound interest but for health. Invest a little, get a lot.

I’ll remind myself of this the next time I’m tempted to sleep in instead of work out:)
