“I know I should exercise but I hate it so I just can’t seem to make myself do it.” Many people have negative feelings about exercise, as can be heard by use of words like “should,” “hate” and “make myself.” These thoughts and feelings come from negative past experiences like being chosen last for teams, boring exercise routines, and discomfort or pain from doing too much too fast. Some people only exercise when they are trying to lose weight so they have come to think of exercise as a punishment for their overeating. However, this time you can find fun physical activities that suit your personality and lifestyle. You can start slowly and allow your body to adjust gradually so it is not uncomfortable. You can choose to focus on all great things it does for you and how wonderful you feel instead of how much weight you should lose.

“I’m embarrassed to be seen exercising.” Ironically most other people are so focused on themselves, they are not going to notice you anyway! Those that do will likely admire you. Eventually you will feel less self-conscious but in meantime, find activities and places that make you feel comfortable so you can focus on all of wonderful benefits. Remember, you are doing this for yourself - to feel better and become healthier.
