I know for me beginning a fitness routine was work. yes, working out just seemed like so much work to get started.
Visual of J sitting on the couch giving the peloton or rower the side eye…
Then something magical happens. After I was in the workout, and after the workout, it felt so good and all of that “work” at the beginning to get started seemed small and worth it.
Why is that?
Why does something like working out seem like such a tall order to start?
An activity that is so good for you physically and mentally should be just as appealing as pizza or beer right? (Side note) Check out this epic article by Thrillist… Nothing but Pizza things for 5 days!
Well, apparently that’s not how this body was designed, and it’s through work our body and mind are sharpened and even our stress is better managed.
While searching for the answer to this question, I came across this great article by Harvard Health.
After 3 months of fitness, I can say that I do look forward to working out now. Reading why that is in this article was pretty interesting as well as all of the other benefits associated with fitness.
Keep working!
P.S. Pizza is magical despite the heartburn and lethargy.
