To people who know me, but do not subscribe to my level of commitment to fitness, I probably seem crazy to exercise as much as I do.
They are probably silently professing all kinds of ills that will come out of it. I know my parents periodically do, because they tell me so, being the old school they are. I always try to win people over to my "side", never sparing any time when it comes to explaining why I eat or exercise the way I do. But my dedication to exercising is simple to explain: I love it!
I love it on so many levels, that if I list all the reason, it will be the classic TMI (too much info), so I will limit myself to only a few:
1) I love to exercise because it gives me a sense of accomplishment.
No matter what life throws at me that day, I feel that I've done something good, that I've put the effort and was successful at it. I don't need to do anything special to feel this way. Just do the best I can, and I feel well-prepared for whatever challenges may comes my way that day because I started it right.
2) I love to exercise because I feel energized.
I am not on fire every day. On days when I don't feel especially energetic, I nevertheless feel great after completing the routine. Surprisingly the energy picks up after that!
3) I love to exercise because it gives me confidence.
Amazingly, as the level of physical fitness increases, the level of confidence does as well. It gets funny sometimes - I can be watching an adventure movie where a hero/heroine are running away from bad guys, or holding on to the rope for their life, I catch myself thinking - I guess I could do it to, now that I am strong!
4) I love to exercise because I like the way my food taste after workout.
I don't know the science behind it, but after a workout everything taste better. I am hungry, but in a different way. It is not a boredom-induced or stress-induced hunger. It is as if my muscle tell me: we expanded a lot of energy, you better feed us something good!
5) I love to exercise because I sleep better when I do!
This is very obvious but is still worth listing. I have trouble falling and staying asleep. But if I put the mileage and the reps in, no matter how stressful my day was the physical exhaustion wins over all the distractions of the day and I fall into a blissful slumber. There is nothing better!
I could definitely go on listing other reasons why I like exercising, but I feel I already made my case to prove that there is merit in it. Theoretically we all know that exercise is good for us, but I am here to state that it also feels good. Try it, you are going to love it!
Bring it!
