Maybe exercise isn’t so good after all!

Some days I feel guilty about using my car when I could just as easily walk to where I need to be. After all those Christmas meals, drinks and treats I had, there’s no avoiding the fact that it’s about time I shape up and try a do a bit more exercise.

However, according to a new report I might actually be wrong. It has been claimed that over-exercising can make people six times more likely to catch flu.

Ok, so this is only thought to be a risk to keen sports people who run marathons and engage themselves in gruelling gym sessions on a daily basis, but the study, which was conducted at Loughborough University, hasn’t exactly done much to encourage me to begin a new exercise plan.

Unfortunately for me, a Professor has also stated that a brisk walk once a day should help to keep colds at bay.

Oh well, it looks like I ought to be leaving the car in garage after all!
