Exercise
How come when I hear the word exercise I automatically think of the word in a negative way? Does anyone else feel that way? If I don't workout in the morning, I spend the whole day thinking about it and thinking of excuses to get out of it. But I always feel better when I do exercise, so why is it perceived as so bad or tedious when I feel better after having done it? Answers...anyone?

I think the problem is that people just think exercise = misery, but it's so not true. You just have to find something you enjoy so it doesn't feel like exercise. I love workout videos, so that's what I do. And I love to read, so I just read while I walk/run on the treadmill and I'll be so involved in my book that I don't realize 45 minutes just went by.
I LOVE to go to the gym. I prefer going with friends I can show up. If I can't find a friend then I pick a machine next to someone I know I will run faster then... I guess it is kind of conceded but whatever motivates you I guess... haha. That sounds bad now that I say it out loud...
I think it's because exercise is always associated with diet. There are so many fad diets that don't work that exercise gets thrown in there with it. I hope that makes sense. I always feel better when I exercise. My six week postpartum is over so I guess I should kick it into gear and start eh?
I think it's just the adversary....
Duh, ya think:) I know sometimes my answers are so original:)
BTW: the colon cleanse we're using is the Colonix found on www.DrNatura.com
Most people when they decide to start exercising go all gung ho and typically go overboard too fast. It's very common to go to the gym after like a forever long absence and feel like crap the next day cause you killed yourself. If you start on your level and work your way up and don't knock yourself down cause you're not running 10 miles like the fitness crazed freak on the next treadmill, you will be more likely to stick with your exercise plan. If your increased activity level makes you feel better and raises you energy, you're in good shape
