Why is so hard to begin working out (and stay with it)?
It is not a question of physical ability, but two mental questions you need to answer.
I have started and failed countless exercise routines.
I quit CrossFit after a month of dreading the early morning workouts. I tried weight lifting countless times and loathed the soreness I constantly felt. I did my best to fall in love with Yoga and found myself constantly bored with no Zen to speak off.
You and I both know exercise is a valuable tool for our physical and mental health, yet we struggle to develop this habit of consistently exercising. This idea of consistently exercising is pressed upon us in all areas of life isn’t it? We hear it from every medium of media, receive comments and remarks from our loved ones, and even told by our doctor on more than one occasion.
If we are constantly told the value of having exercising, why is it so dang hard to stay committed?
Here’s the answer, it doesn’t matter what anyone says about exercise, it matters only what YOU have to say.
This truth is so critical to your fitness journey and it is something you must answer if you wish to find success with exercise. This question you have also shows you are currently in the contemplative stage of deciding to begin an exercise plan.
