- Why you shouldn’t exercise.
- Why you should.
- How to find the exercise that’s perfect for you.
There are many important and valid reasons why you should exercise, but there are also a couple reasons why you shouldn’t exercise.
Most people don’t actually like to exercise. How many things in life that you don’t like, do you actually do consistently? (I mean aside from stuff like taxes.) Yet, consistency is one of the keys to a healthy lifestyle. So how do you create an exercise practice that you love to do?
I believe it involves moving beyond exercising just to say you did. Instead, move your body because it’s leading you to a greater goal and it brings you happiness. I call this finding our authentic mode of exercise. It probably involves an activity you did (voluntarily) in childhood.
So instead of exercising simply for the sake of exercising, explore your true physical nature and find the activity that brings you to life and brings joy to your life.
