I know getting fit is hard. I think sometimes people think it's easy for me since I've always been pretty fit due to the fact I grew up playing soccer and have been an athlete all my life. The fact is, I too have gone thru long spells where I didn't work out. It hurts to get back into shape. I know how hard it is for me when I haven't worked out for 3-6 months or even a year. I can't even imagine the pain people must go thru when they are overweight or haven't worked out for years much less the people that have never worked out.
But I've witnessed the human body do amazing things when it's trained diligently and fueled correctly. The problem with this is that it HURTS! Humans are really good at shying away from pain. What's funny though is that people will shy away from acute pain but dwell in the long lasting dull pain of not working out. If we can just get ourselves to fight thru the hour of pain a day, the 24 hours a day of pain that we deal with when don't work out, starts to go away.
Believe me...I know it's tough. It sucks sometimes. It hurts but the results are priceless. Tony blogged today and said it well. I'm going to leave you with his words. Keep Working!!
Here's The Thing
By Tony Horton
Life with exercise creates a completely different journey than a life without it. Making the time for exercise means that you're setting an intention to have a great life. Life without exercise means you're setting an intention to miss out on a better life. The quality of your life improves with exercise and it will get worse without it. Period! Your weight loss is a minute piece to the overall health and fitness puzzle. Every time you exercise you improve your fitness, healthy and quality of life. You always feel good afterward and you allow your mind and body to become less vulnerable to illness and injury. Every day you decide NOT to exercise your health, fitness and quality of life diminishes. You become more vulnerable to illness and injury and the energy and enthusiasm (feeling good) for a better life is not there. This is true for everyone. No exceptions.
Make a plan, stick to the plan and do it... forever!
