Of the 1,005 people surveyed, 70% said they practiced a physical activity. Studying their motivations for exercising and their preferences for meal breaks, four teams emerged, combining sports and meals in order to improve one's well-being through vastly different means.
Those who belong to the pizza and running team see exercise first as a way to be able to enjoy their meals (and sometimes what's in between), which turns breaks into convivial and relaxing moments. Physical activity is less enticing, but being that it's good for your health and your figure, why not go anyway? Motivation ebbs and flows with each passing day and season, but it happens to everyone, and there are places where to find inspiration.
Members of the swimsuit and eclairs team share the belief that exercising and eating should focus on pleasure. In other words, they need to really enjoy things. Their ideal meal is a greasy spoon with good friends, a nice snack with coworkers, breakfast in bed. Physical activity is a breath of fresh air to them, they have a ball and feel much better. Sometimes, they run out of time and have to make choices, which can get frustrating... Come on, can't you try and take #2024seconds for a well-being break?
