According
to the U.S. scientists, there are certain genes such as 'exercise genes' and
'lazy genes' that may lead people to exercise. Researchers carried out an
experiment to observe how much each rats in cage ran on the wheels. After that,
'fast runners' and 'slow runners' were bred and it was claimed that more than
30 genes of the following generations may play a role in motivating exercise.
This was done through comparing the levels of mitochondria in muscle cells and
body compositions.
I believe that this research would be the first
step to identify other causes for obesity as obesity is a worldwide issue.
Actually, this article was quite shocking to me. This is because I thought that
doing exercise or not is determined by one's willingness. Although I think this
research is amazing and can give hopes to people, I am afraid that it may be
abused. For example, there might be one day when every single person has genes
that make people willing to exercise. I think the issues related to genes have
both advantages and disadvantages.

If you feel tired and lack of energy then cycling will give you more energy. It's true! used to feel tired all the time until I start to ride my bike wherever I need to go.
