If we accept that physical activity and sensible eating can confer benefits such as an improved quality of life, a healthier weight, higher energy levels, elevated moods, a bolstered immunity and a longer life (huge payoffs), why do we struggle interminably to work out and eat right (small investment)? We found Eric Harr´s answers to this question pretty motivating.
