Some Side Effects of Exercise..

...that you should certainly be aware of.


We are, for the most part, creatures of habit; and exercise introduces a lot of changes which may or may not be acceptable.
You may start spending less time watching hilarious or otherwise entertaining television shows, and instead, engage in activities that cause you to perspire profusely, your skin to flush, and even emit unpleasant body odors. Do you really want that? You'll may spend less time visiting with the doctors and nurses in your local medical facility since your blood pressure drops, bad cholesterol levels lower, body fat storage plummets, joints lubricate themselves better, muscles elongate and strengthen, and all kinds of other weird side effects that enable your body to care for itself. Also, it forces you to become more disciplined, a quality that many try to discourage in others. They find it annoying. Another big side effect that I've noticed is the clothing expense. Over time it makes your clothes baggy, forcing you to buy new ones; a terrible inconvenience. As this begins to manifest itself, you'll also become more picky with your food choices, further compounding the "baggy clothing" side effect.
 Also, at picnics, potlucks, family reunions and other social gatherings, people will try to pick you in the first round to help set up and take down tables and chairs simply because you can. Very annoying.

When you really sit down and think about some of the side effects of exercise... is it really worth it?
