Feel like a slug? You may have the wrong exercise mind-set.
Many of us worry that we don’t get enough exercise
. But the mere
belief that we aren’t moving enough can have negative
consequences for our health, according to emerging
science about how our mind-set affects our bodies. A fascinating
new study of mind-sets and exercise, though, shows that learning how much we actually move by tracking our steps could help us start thinking of ourselves as active people, which can pay health dividends
, even if we don’t start exercising more.
