I try to tell so many people this that are suffering but they just do not listen.
I wish the government made our doctors prescribe it as part of the treatment of anxiety instead of pumping people full of drugs that make them dependant and then worse over time.

Well, let’s FORCE people to exercise then!
Forced Exercise Camps! Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Think of the greater good of humanity!

Maybe government run camps for the mentally I’ll and obese ?
You can leave when you are thin or happy depending on your sentence .
I think I’m on to something here .
You should volunteer?
You mean like drug addicts and alchies check into rehab ?
no, involuntary, man. Get healthy or lose privileges.
Treadmills were apparently invented for use on prisoners as punishment; feel free to fact check that.
Well, if we are no longer allowed to employ humour to shame them into compliance, what other option is there?
When I was in the throws of severe depression and anxiety, i made a point that as soon as I had the kick of feel goods from my medication I would use the fact I was a student living next door to the student gym (free for me at the time of study) to make sure I trained something every day: upper, lower, cardio, yoga, swimming, whatever. Something. Anything. It is probably part of why I even made it through uni in the first place.
Of course it was only when I was diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria that how I felt made sense and I made a point to not get super buff or bulk deliberately, but even now i exercise. People do not want to hear that medication is only part of it and theres a few studies I read back in the day that indicate exercise and diet plus medication is indicated towards better rates of depression recovery and reduced relapse.
We should be encouraging people to exercise more and give them the tools to do that because if gym fail videos indicate anything on top of my job, people have no idea how to get the most out of exercise.

Nothing you would understand, apparently.
Right, totally applies if true…
You’re so mysterious
considering how some would-be ‘fat camps’ work, that’s not too out of the question with how the world could end up going at this rate. Wouldn’t shock me if it did
shaming people into changing something is seldom a good short term plan, and even less effective as a long term one for improvement.
I was being sarcastic
Though IMO, it will be a sad day when we can no longer take the piss out of gingers

Yeah, glad you get that…
But not only shame is involved.
Forced labor camps come to mind.
I don’t know why people underrate exercise.
Some people don’t enjoy exercise and I can say from a mix of anecdotal experience and reading a few surveys, a lot of it in the developed world is linked to a non active childhood or one I personally think is a more likely indicator: bad memories of PE in school.
In my school if you didnt enjoy rugby or athletics, or had no major talent for it, you didnt get a great deal of attention, and other than that it was winter cross country in unsuitable clothing in winter. Most of the more athletically incline individuals were encouraged and pushed, while those who didnt make a sports team were left to their own devices, and the school wouldnt care as they didnt represent them in intercounty or sometimes, international sports events to write home about and use that to self promote.
Most of the people i know in that bracket almost never continued exercise after leaving school, unless they sought out a desire to have a specific body type they craved from nerdier interests, like wanting a body like Goku or a superhero now thats become more mainstream.
Some people still talk about exercise like it has no value, and it is simply association of negative experience while their health declines due to sedentary lifestyles, which reinforces the barrier of getting moving in the first place. Their bodies wont have the neurological adaptions to make new positions easy or comfortable, and thus anything from even the most basic calisthenics or yoga are strenuous to them, so they write it off even harder as ‘worthless,’ a vicious cycle of only negative consequences down the road.
