Couch Potatoes Genetically Predisposed To Being Lazy

Now you can blame your laziness on your genes. Certain genetic traits may predispose people to being more or less motivated to exercise and remain active, reports a new study that identified difference in gene structure among people who were inclined to exercise and those who preferred lazing around inside the house, reports the American Journal of Physiology. Of the more than 17,000 different genes in one part of the brain, US researchers identified 36 genes that may play a role in predisposition to physical activity motivation.
