Do you see exercise as something you have to do to burn off calories? Change your mindset to view exercise as a fun hobby. Plus, it's a gift: There are so many disabled or injured people in the world who cannot move as freely as they might like to. Be grateful for your abilities and treat your body right by keeping it healthy and active.

Out of ALL the motivational blurbs I've seen here, this one narrows in on a home truth. Many of us hate our bodies, or our selves. Exercising and taking care of oneself (however you define that) is most important, because no one else is going to take as much interest in your self & body as you. It's so hard to love yourself/your body.
This is the absolute truth. I love working out. Even if it is hard to start, once you start and the endorphins kick in, it feels great and makes you feel better.
