“One might think, if I put on a 45-minute dance cardio video at precisely 8 a.m., I would be finished at precisely 8:45 a.m. This has never been true. This video will sputter on, for minutes at a time, sometimes for hours”

“One thing I’ve heard from people is that they’re doing like four different home workouts a day, but for short periods of time. They tune in to all these different Instagram Live videos,” Jessie Zapotechne tells me over a video chat. Each week, dozens of athletes check in with Zapotechne, who is the performance coach for Adidas Runners in New York City as well as an art therapist.
On a very efficient day, it takes me an hour to do a 45-minute routine. When the videos drag past a certain point, they start to acquire the atmosphere of after-school detention. Why am I not permitted to leave?! How can time last so long? What did I do to deserve this?! I howl inside my head. The reason, I now realize, is perpetual tardiness. With workouts, I’ll begin a video and then realize I still have to put on my shoes.
It might not be your legs and arms but rather your grumpiness that desires longer stretches of exercising. “Endurance is very helpful with mood state,” Arciero says. “Longer periods of time exercising releases those healthy brain neurotransmitters that put you in a place of happiness, contentment, and euphoria.” He mentions the activation of the body’s endocannabinoid system, which affects mood, inflammation, and pain and sounds pretty chill.
