Americans are blessed to live a rich and prosperous nation (even during a recession). Perhaps our prosperity correlates with our obesity. Our lives have simply become too easy and our bodies too soft. We no longer have to chop wood, carry water, hand-wash clothes, plow fields by hand, etc. We don’t even have to walk to work or to the store.
We complain when things are not done fast enough for us or when things are difficult to do. Exercise is no exception. People say they don’t exercise because they have no time – that is just and excuse. The real reason people don’t work out is because it is hard work. Well boo hoo! I am not impressed. Yeah its hard, big deal – THAT’S THE POINT! The challenge of exercise is what makes it valuable. Sure, other things come easier, all the things that make us weak!
So many people whine about how hard it is to find time to exercise and that they are just not motivated to push themselves. Well guess what people – that’s lame.
What American’s want is to have great bodies and tons of energy without doing any of the work. Guess what people – that’s nuts. There is no such thing as fitness without hard work. It is time to stop making excuses and start moving. If you don’t like the work, that’s your own problem.
