Have you wondered how to get motivated to get out and Nordic walk? I came across an article describing one element – certain muscle proteins stimulate the urge for physical activity.
Main point: “…certain muscle proteins activated during exercise can increase the desire to stay active.”
More about it:
- “…this mechanism could play a crucial role in promoting regular physical activity.”
- There may be “targeted therapies to encourage exercise in those less inclined to do so.”
- The researchers think “training itself keeps the desire to exercise going.”
Why it matters: We would certainly like to build and maintain motivation to exercise. I’ve noticed when I Nordic walk on a regular basis, I get anxioua when I miss an outing. Perhaps it’s that molcular activity at work.
