Another win for exercising.
It's crazy to me how many people have miserable health, complain about their body and mental state endlessly, but still put up any roadblock they can think of to avoid exercising of any form.

I know that is a hurdle I have with my kids. They complain that jogging/running hurts. It is hard to convince people that that never really changes, and that it also hurts for the people that are doing it every day. Obviously acute pains are a different thing, but there is a reason recovery is a vital part of exercise. We all have to recover from pushing limits. You can't expand your limits without pushing, though.
That is, I'm not hurting in my joints from running. My pains there will be much more attuned to how hard it is for me to "push" at speeds. That said, pushing at any speed is how I have managed to increases the speeds that I can push.
Yep. It's seen as just a waste of time, because you can be doing something else (like looking at your phone).
For me the trick was to get a TV in front of a treadmill, and to listen to audiobooks during my walks outside.

That's why walking is so good! With jogging you have to work pretty hard to run even at the lowest speed.
