You’ll be relieved to hear that choosing the couch is only human. Humans are inherently lazy, which may be a trait left over from our ancestors’ days of conserving energy for the next hunt. Unfortunately, a small new study published in the journal Current Biology finds that even when we do choose to move, our bodies naturally do it in the most economical way possible which is bad news for anyone trying to lose weight.

-

People are inherently lazy because that's just how our brains are wired, according to new research from the University of British Columbia. The study, published in the Neuropsychologia​, set out to solve the "exercise paradox" — why society is getting lazier even though we know the risks associated with an unhealthy, inactive lifestyle. The answer, according to researchers, is that our brains are simply built to pick what's easier.

-

In normal times, most of us don’t take rest seriously enough. So during this exceptional period, we should embrace the opportunity to rest more if we can – and indeed take those more balanced rhythms of rest and busyness into our lives post shutdown. But during this difficult time, we will find that we are not instinctively lazy creatures. Indeed in a weird way we might find that doing less, and resting more, initially requires quite a lot of effort.
