Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
The burden of a crazy belief.
For starters, inherent in your belief or idea is the word crazy.
Second, to think that at some point in life a human, all humans, would recommit to regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate rest is well, ridiculous.

And a burden.

Dear Son, from one gift, physical health, come many.
Please do not take offense if the following does not describe you now.

Fun is in the physical freedom.
To taste the weirdly wonderful joy of loose fitting clothing.
To feel unembarrassed poolside or beachside. Or anywhere.
You are already youthful. Every 14 year old is.

The three best times to exercise?
Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
If you haven’t exercised in a long time the best time to exercise is soon.
The second best is now.
Why would now be second best?

Odds of you convincing yourself and doing it ‘soon’ are still low, but much greater than ‘now’.
