Do You Have a Good Enough Reason to Exercise?
Written by Kurt Dorey on February 9th, 2010 in Self Development.
“I cannot exercise,” “It is too hard to exercise.” I have heard such excuses all my life from people… and as someone who has exercised intensely all his life… I tell these people this: I cannot explain to someone who has not pushed the limits of their strength and endurance to its limits over and over again… what it feels like to live in a body that is in “Great Shape.” It has to be experienced.
You know what it is like… If you never smelled a rose and I tried to explain to you in words what a rose smells like… I just couldn’t. The smell of the rose has to be experienced… It cannot be explained in words. So I cannot explain to a person who has never pushed their body to its limits; what it feels like to be in “Great Shape.”
I am hoping I got your interest so far. Now lets see if we can get to another insight about working out. People need “Reasons” to do things. We do everything because we have “Reasons” for doing everything. “Reasons” are the ultimate causes of our actions. We go to school for reasons, we get jobs for reasons, we marry for reasons.
Now if it is all about having “Reasons” to do things. I can prove that the reason most people don’t exercise is not that because they cannot or it is hard… It is because they don’t have a big-enough reason to work out on a daily basis. I am going to prove this now. So imagine you are someone who doesn’t work out, who never works out… I come to your house at 6:00AM one morning and I have a gun; I wake you up and tell you that if you don’t get up and exercise right now, I am going to shoot one of your family members. Would you get up an exercise? Yes… and in a heartbeat. Why? Because you now have a “Big Reason” to get up and exercise.
So the questions become philosophical in nature. Is it possible to create a “Big Reason” to exercise? What are the “Big reasons” for those who diligently work out everyday? Most are not aware of their “Reasons” but they all have them. The trick is to create your own “Big Reason” to get your ass out of bed and exercise… And there is a way to do that…
