The Emotional Journey of Exercise
Engaging in exercise often involves a complex emotional journey, particularly for older adults who may have a strong aversion to physical activity. During high-intensity workouts, individuals generally experience a dip in emotional well-being, labeled as 'the suck,' followed by a euphoric recovery phase, often referred to as a 'high.' This emotional mapping can create a barrier, preventing some from consistently exercising despite knowing its benefits. Recognizing these emotional responses can help tailor exercise programs to ensure long-term adherence rather than short-term compliance.
