A new study published in the latest issue of Psychology of Sports and Exercise has revealed that 'just do it' attitude works with exercise. In the research conducted by Dr Sandra O'Brien Cousins and his colleagues from the University of Alberta, Canada, most middle-aged exercisers said that without thinking too much about the need to exercise, they just lace up their shoes and get out there, Indian daily Hindustan Times reported. "Don't think about it. Just do it. If you think about it, you can talk yourself out of it," MD quoted a woman, who participated in the study, as saying.
According to the researchers, active people didn't give much time to their brain to think about exercising, and instead, made the activity a non-negotiable part of their daily routine.
Active people claimed that they, or someone else, could easily talk themselves out of their planned and regular physical activity," the researchers said.
It was also found that while younger participants were more active than older ones, middle-aged women were more active in getting leisure-time exercise.
