Everyone has a gym story. It is a good chance yours started on January 2, ______.

A gym story. It goes like this.

You finally join a health club and you are ready to go. These things you know:

  1. You know exercise is absolutely necessary for you to get healthier.
  2. You know exercise is absolutely necessary for you to lose weight.
  3. You know if you exercise you will feel better.
  4. You know if you exercise you will look better.

So, this is pretty easy, huh? You just go for it, right? Wrong. If you simply say, “O.K. I am going to start the new year going to the gym now,” and then show up, you will make it to about January 6th. Here you go…Excuse time….

And the number one reason I consciously have a hard time going to the gym is…

Whenever I get there, I look at myself in the mirror and I think…(Woman’s version- O God, help me!/ Man’s version- What more can I do to improve on that Adonis looking back at me?)
