Move your blood around and get oxygen where it needs instead of being sedentary. There’s more on that but on the face that’s it.

Yes if you move the blood around in your body, it works more better. I have issues with being tardy to nearly everything, so at the last minute I like to sprint to class. I feel like it helps, and it’s fun. I have also improved my handstand technique by just trying to do handstands.
The thing is, exercise as a task sucks. But if you continue to PLAY as an adult, you’ll keep doing it.
