Some days we want to run away from stress, worry, doubt and fear.
Instead I’m dragging my butt out the door…to the gym.
Sitting on the couch gets you nowhere.
Lying in bed works no muscles… even in gym clothes.
Thinking about workouts may work the imagination or memory but no muscles.
You have to get up…
Put on the shoes…
Go….and be thankful you did.
What gets you out the door?

Some days, it’s knowing that friends and family will give me a hard time if I don’t go exercise that gets me out the door. Some days, its remembering that, with my very serious health issues (colitis, severe arthritis, depression), if I DON’T get regular exercise, or start getting it, I’m not going to be able to move, literally, ten years from now.
But it’s always a struggle, isn’t it? *sighs*
I hear you on both accounts. I have to remind myself of what the difference will be in the long run if I don’t do the work now.
I for one always thought that regular exercise is only a struggle in the beginning when you are not used to it. But once you have a regular schedule where you know you always work out on the same days for example, it becomes easier. The trouble is sticking true to your routine and to not leave out a day for whatever reason. It’s harder to start over than to continue – at least that’s the case with me.
