Exercising in a gym is selfishly controlling machines (i.e. exercise equipment) in a way that benefits nobody else, and therefore provides you no contentment. And even the selfish benefits aren't perceptible enough to motivate you to do it. Why not instead have a charity where you build tiny houses for exercise? You could make it convenient and build the tiny houses indoors in a gym-like building on your own schedule. And you could either donate them to charity, or work towards earning your own tiny house, which might allow you to quit your day job and pursue your hipster creative dreams Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 63 Jason Alt (Twitter: @JasonEAlt) Nick Earl (Twitter: @fakenickearl) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit
