The great debate!

As we all know, I am a fan of lists. Anyways, everyday Emmy and I have this argument about exercising. I love exercising while Emmy, on the other hand, is sure that exercise will basically kill her. So I have looked up (and listed) the top 10 reasons to exercise and the top 10 reasons not to exercise and posted them right here on your favorite blog. Decide for yourself!

Top 10 reasons to exercise!
1. Feel more energized
2. Burn more calories at rest
3. Improve overall appearance
4. Be able to withstand stress
5. Decrease risk of illness
6. Speed up recovery from injury or surgery
7. Keep focused
8. Build up cardiovascular endurance
9. Improve flexibility
10. Increase lean body mass

Just a note, I'm pretty sure Emmy as used all these excuses at least once.

Top 10 reasons not to exercise!
1. Gyms are full of annoying people.
2. Why exercise when you can take a nap.
3. You don't want to die too healthy.
4. They sell pants in size bigger-than-you-think.
5. I'm skinny compared to the rest of society anyways.
6. It feels like work.
7. It makes you sweat.
8. Scientists have found that exercise leads to death.
9. No one will see my cellulite anyways
10. Oh wait...my pizza is done....
