I should really exercise today; do I really have to?

Just a few short years ago I felt this way and i'm not going I still have those few days when I need to change my perspective about exercise to get started.  Most people out in the world start off believing that it's just that physical hurdle they need to overcome when it's the exact opposite!  The mental game that is being plaid by your own minds is most of the battle.  I cannot remember a time I EVER regretted a completed workout but damned if I told myself everything in the books to deter the start of it.  

It's not just a physical mind set but mostly a constant mental battle within ones self that takes place everyday and I think it's very illogical and hilarious to be honest.  We are in this nearly constant state of mind that we should at least get up off the couch and move our butts and when we do this strange phenomenon happens called "perspiration" or sweating lol.  I know it's hard from personal experience with knee injuries, shoulder and back pain and I want to tell everyone it DOES get easier.

Just like if you were to stop at your local convenience store everyday; you would most likely get to know a few folks working there.  At first it feels strange, annoying and maybe even a little bit painful but you know what happens when you keep repeating that routine?  It doesn't feel painful or strange or annoying anymore; your use to the repetition and although I am speaking mostly about relationships here I hope you can see the connection it has to other aspects in our lives like exercise, staying in shape but most important just to stay healthy.

If you've read this far than I salute you; reading one guys opinion on the Internet isn't always a good time and I am not officially any kind of author.  I just know what I have had to deal with in my transformation and when I see someone who out there running, cycling, walking, lifting whatever it may be I instantly give respect for the dedication and the little sacrifices they might have made to the betterment of themselves.  -Matthew
