Scientists say you are lifting
more than weights on the days you hit the gym -- you're throwing back a few
cocktails, too.
In a study that ran in the
latest edition of Health Psychology, the American Psychologial Association's journal, researchers found
that people typically exercise more on Thursdays and Sundays, when they're also
drinking more.
The study looked at 150 people
between the age of 18 and 89. Participants recorded their fitness activities, as
well as their alcohol use at the end of the day using their smartphones. They
did this for a period of 21 days at a time, at three different times of the
year.
Scientists next want to study
what the link is between exercise and drinking. Maybe they should focus on the
link between drinking and the weekend...
