Hate it!

I hear a lot of people say they hate running. Those same people that say they hate running are running. They run because it burns calories and tones up your body, gets your heart pumping and eventually the runners high-kicks in..

Unfortunately, those same haters are still looking for the runners High... They don't reach that because to be a true runner, you have to run at least 3 times a week. Not every once in awhile.

That's why they hate running.. because they don't do it constantly. It feels hard, a lot of work and it makes them tired and sore. It never gets any better because it's so in-consistent they never get to the point where they enjoy it.

There is also the other issue of being consistent with a pattern of exercising time,it's all over the place. Some times they workout in the morning, at noon or at night. It's never the same time of day. It's just whenever they can fit it in or should fit it in. It's a recipe for failure. It's never going to get any better, they are never going to like running and they will never see the running results they are hoping to achieve. They will always hate running because in order to like it or love it you have to set yourself up to win.. not fail.

Here's my advice.. don't run if you will never figure out how to get to the point where you will like running. You can only like running if you decide to be consistent about your running. Pick a time of day (hint.. morning exercisers are more likely to keep exercising then doing it any other time of the day).  Make a plan to run at least 3 times a week. If you can't schedule in those two things and be consistent. Pick something else to do.. something like sitting on the couch or TV, Internet, eating, or pretty much anything other then exercising. My reason for this harsh reality.? Haters of running are going to hate any type of exercise to get fit. It doesn't matter if it's running, biking, walking, swimming or lifting weights. You will always hate exercise if you don't make it part of your life and be consistent. Any amount of exercise will always feel hard and you'll never get to the point where it makes you feel good.

It's so straight forward. One word "consistent" sums it all up. Anything worth your health is worth making a plan and being consistent about it. It's not about hating something.. because it's not worth doing it if you hate it. Life is too short to HATE something. So pick something you do like or love and just be consistent about it.

Don't be a hater.. because the hater is all about hating having to be consistent about anything that's worth while doing.  No one is that busy to not care about themselves. We all care about ourselves and spend lot of money to make ourselves look and feel good. The too busy for exercise card needs to be thrown out!

Get out there.. stop hating it! You can do it.. one day at a time.. the same time!
