I was scrolling through a beginner workout guide earlier and fixated on one tiny number. 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week is recommended. That’s exactly two and a half hours. The same amount of time I spend grading essays after school every weekday. I never thought to frame it like that. It’s just a number, but seeing it tied to something I already do made it feel less abstract. Not that I’m swapping my red pen and vanilla latte for walking anytime soon. Grading’s safer. No chance of tripping over a curb mid-sentence correction.
