    As a 30 year veteran of mostly 6 day a week workouts I really resonate with this post. Thanks! And perhaps you can relate to this too- on sunday I decided not to work out and my son and husband looked at each other and said, 'oh great- she is going to be cranky all day!'

    This is great. I've run for years, and everyone assumes it is easy for me. Every day I choose to run, it is definitely a choice made consciously. Those first few steps out the door are always hard, even if you feel great.

    Fantastic article. I'm fascinated as to why it is so hard for me to "fit in" workouts when I know the multitude of benefits it has in my life...I'm constantly trying to find real motivation, and so far I've found that positivity is the ONLY thing that gets me going - knowing that I'll feel great afterwards and won't be (as you said) preoccupied with thoughts of the next workout. This line sums it up for me: "The positive outlook that sits on my shoulders while I meander through my day." Thank you for this reminder!

    So true - the link between body and mind is a two way street. Thanks for the inspiration and perspective.

    I used to detest working out I made fun of the cross country runners in high faculty and the thought of working up a sweat made me cringe. Pretty soon, I used to be a runner and now I run fifty miles a week, and I jump rope and do strength coaching. I make exercise a particularly large concern in my life I infrequently miss a day unless I plan to and I do not give myself several excuses. You simply have to do it infrequently, even if you do not feel just like it. This A. M. , I actually didnt feel a bit like getting my ass out of bed at 3:15 am and going out for a 7.8 mile run, but when I was out, I felt wonderful. Match Love

    Set your mind free from mental impurities to be well motivated for exercises. And remind yourself that there's a priceless benefit of being healthier and more productive if you exercise regularly.
