HEALTH STUFF: 

 A new study looks at the biological difference between people who love exercise and those who hate it. Some experts believe that how people perceive feelings of physical exertion or fatigue may influence whether or not they enjoy working out. Also, physical capacity for exertion varies from person to person based on genetic factors like oxygen transport and lung capacity. When sedentary people start a fitness routine, they may push themselves beyond their personal capacity without realizing it, causing unpleasant feelings. This can have psychological effects- it’s easy to see how enough bad experiences with exercise could deter someone from sticking to a workout plan. On the other hand, athletes and people who are in great shape tend to have a much higher threshold for exertion, meaning they can push harder before they start to feel bad. And then there are the people who are just plain lazy.
