Comments

Cobalt Reaper: finally some scientific validation for my afternoon workout habit. thought i was just wasting time in front of the squat rack
Glitch Comet: i'd believe it, but how much exercise are we talking, exactly? 5 minutes of jumping jacks or actual athletic training?
Danebianchi: dancing can be like meditation for your body
Lundleo: I've seen some people swear by napping after a workout but never considered it a genuine alternative to sleep. This study is interesting, wonder how long the exercise boost lasts for those
Elin: i'm more of a move-your-body-after-breakfast kinda person myself
Ravi Sol: doesn't track for people with jobs that require actual physical presence
Omarali: I'd believe that if the study controlled for actual quality sleep instead of just aiming to wake people up. Wanting naps isn't lazy, it's what your body needs
Ashen Ronin: i'd rather read the study itself than rely on some catchy headline. what were their methods exactly?
Amir: how can a 10-minute workout possibly be as effective as a full nap? that seems like too short to really recharge anything. what's the magic number supposed to be?
