One Good Reason to Exercise vs. Ten Bad Reasons Not To
For a long time we’ve talked about exercise in relation to smoking hotedness. But now that we’re in our late thirties and some of us are actually in our forties – we’ve evolved into understanding that exercise is about health not hotness.
A new report got us thinking about getting moving. The report shows that vigorous exercise reduces the risk of breast cancer by 16 Percent!!! But lately we’ve been very bad about exercise so in the spirit of naming and claiming – we’re going to outline our current favorite and powerful excuses for not exercising thereby rendering them powerless.
1. My sleeping pills haven’t worn off yet – it’s medically impossible.
2. It’s a blistering 70 degrees and sunny – I’m out of sunscreen.
3. There’s no proof that exercise works for me.
4. I’ll just monitor my diet.
5. Mmmm… couch.
6. I can’t find my favorite support garments.
7. My running shoes are old.
8. I am old.
9. I don’t want to miss a call from a huge blog sponsor and movie producer.
10. After I hit the Mega Millions I’ll put Jillian and Bob on Staff – so get off my back.
So yeah - we’re on it – today 20 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of pilates. Meet us back here tomorrow with ibuprofen.
LOL. I can relate! Gotta quit w/the excuses!
Those are great! 5 through 7 are usually my first thoughts.
Hah my excuse is ALWAYS “mmm couch”. Good point though, today I should actually get my butt to the gym.
or tomorrow..:P
I’ve come to realize that to keep exercising to the point of trying to maintain shapely shape that Ibprophin and Epsom salt are becoming one of my best friends!
