"   Are you religiously getting your 30 minutes of exercise in five times a week? If so, you&amp;#039;re part of a super elite group, according to researchers.  The shocking stats are that only 3.5 percent of adults manage to meet the guideline of 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. The question researchers want answered is why we aren&amp;#039;t exercising\u2014especially since it makes us feel so good afterward.  Exercise scientists at Iowa State University think it&amp;#039;s because the definition of an awesome workout varies so much from person to person. They&amp;#039;ve found that the ventilatory threshold\u2014or point when we&amp;#039;re working out intensely that it&amp;#039;s hard to talk\u2014has different reactions in people. Mostly, people who work beyond that threshold have a bad feeling about their workouts and don&amp;#039;t feel the desire to do it again. The problem? The threshold is different in everyone\u2014a non-exerciser might go beyond that point just walking a couple of miles, while a super fit athlete might have to reach her maximum heart rate to feel the same. What&amp;#039;s that mean for us? There&amp;#039;s no question that we need to work out, but we need to find the motivation and make it a routine. Our suggestion: Try out a bunch of different workouts\u2014running, boot camp, Soul Cycle, etc.\u2014and see what you enjoy the most. And stick with it! Get more from Meagan on Facebook and Twitter.
