When Did it Become an Obligation?

Last night at the gym, I was thinking about exercise and how doctors recommend everyone exercises every day.

Children in school see this every day as they go to physical education class and it is mandatory for the students to participate in whatever activity the class is practicing.

But if it is recommended that we all exercise every day of the week, then how did it become such a chore for some of us?

Well, in a way, we can trace exercise back to 400 BC according to this article. Hippocrates said everyone would be healthy if we all got just the right amount of exercise-which I do believe to be true.

Check out this article to see more about the history of exercise.
