Sometimes I don’t feel like writing yet another fitness blog post. (And maybe folks are tired of reading yet another fitness blog post from me, or have stopped reading entirely because really? Another one?) Fitness is both incredibly simple and incredibly not. There is plenty to say and plenty worth repeating. But sometimes I just don’t feel like it.
Turns out that working out can be just like that. We all get tired of working out, or even thinking about working out. It seems like we just did that yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. It’s not that hard: do some cardio, lift some weights, stretch, blah blah blah, except it IS that hard because we have to find our shoes and decide whether to bike or ellipt (that’s a verb, right?) and count reps and get sweaty.
However. Once we’re done? Oh, yeah! THAT’S why we do it. We feel tired, sure, but the good kind. Our little endorphins are doing their mood-altering thing. Our muscles are building themselves back stronger. Our lungs and heart are better at getting the good stuff into our bodies and the bad stuff out.
The message here? Just start.
