Do You Crave Exercise?

Tuesday December 2, 2003
If so, you're a freak! Kidding! In a news release, the University of Wisconsin noted that a new study shows:

"...evidence that the same brain circuitry involved in other types of craving - such as for food, drugs or sex - is activated in mice that are denied access to the running wheel. The findings, say the researchers, lend support to the addictive nature of exercise in some animals."

One can only hope we become more like rodents.
