In Defense of Exercise

I've seen several posts from people saying that they just don't like exercise, or they can't get into it, or it's just not for them. They don't necessarily care about being ultrafit, but they'd rather just be slimmer or lose some weight. Not so for me (and Team No Excuses)! A note from Tony, who is always inspiring, butt-kicking, and a little cheesy (but we love him anyway
).
A note from Tony Horton, P90X trainer
Life with exercise creates a completely different journey than a life without it. Making the time for exercise means that you're setting an intention to have a great life. Life without exercise means you're setting an intention to miss out on a better life. The quality of your life improves with exercise and it will get worse without it. Period! Your weight loss is a MINUTE piece to the overall health and fitness puzzle. Every time you exercise you improve your fitness, health and quality of life. You always feel good afterward and you allow your mind and body to become less vulnerable to illness and injury. Every day you decide NOT to exercise, your health, fitness and quality of life diminishes. You become more vulnerable to illness and injury and the energy and enthusiasm (feeling good) for a better life is not there. This is true for everyone. No exceptions.
Make a plan, stick to the plan and do it... forever!
