Exercise.. sometimes.. you just don't wanna!

I've been to the gym the past three days, despite the fact that I haven't been feeling the greatest, and I'm tired, and a little stressed. But, I went, and I felt much better afterwards. It takes a lot of self motivation to get there. Sometimes, you wake up or you've had a long day of work and you're tired, and cranky, or you're starting to get the sniffles and you would rather just go home and curl up on the couch with a pizza and a movie but... try as often as possible to push through those emotions and just go!

Working out makes you feel energized, it gives you endorphins which in turn makes you feel happy and satisfied. Not only is it good for your mind, exercise is good for your heart, body and your immune system. Studies have shown that those who exercise get sick less often. What other reasons do you need??

Oh and it does help that those endorphins give you a "natural high" and you do become addicted to it. Mark my words, you may hate the gym for the first few weeks, but then, all the sudden, you'll crave it like a piece of chocolate cake! So get out there and burn some calories!
