It is entirely possible that workouts should come with a warning label. Not because workouts will make us sore or tired, although they most likely will if we are doing them right. Workouts can be addictive. They can be a gateway drug to a whole new kind of living.
We start with maybe a little walk around the block. That leads to longer walks, or maybe even some running. We get better shoes. Our muscles get stiff, so suddenly we start stretching. We realize that we like our runs better when we have a good breakfast first. One day we wake up and there we are: eating our veggies, drinking water, pumping iron, and high on cardio.
The good news? Most of us can get addicted to working out with no real ill effects—I mean, most of us feel worse from taco-and-margarita night than from the average workout.
Go play.
