My most irrational behavior since I can remember, is that I hate to exercise. I know how dumb and terrible it is, but I have never managed to last in any exercise routine for a couple of weeks. So I come up with every horrible excuse from here to Sunday.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided it was time to try again. I have a simple goal for myself. To get my lazy *** up and do some cardiovascular exercise every other day.

Good job - I'll be praying for your success!

This is how you get started!
