#on exercise

[mexsicalihabibi604]

You ever have a day where you just don't wanna go to the gym...you don't wanna do the work and your brains just fucked.

But you force yourself anyway and despite being in that fog, you power through it?

Now some people do this and go " ah it helps with my issues" whatever they're dealing with, depression, stress , loneliness, whatever have you right?

They say the exercise helps with that. Well, bless them and all the power to them. I'm not one of those people LOL

No amount of weight lifting, running, walking, exercise or sports, no body movement is gonna alter my brain chemistry when its at an absolute low point.

It simply...has to be that I continue on. Call it stubbornness or blind perseverance, sure

I call it: Survive to Live, because what the fuck else are we here for, if not that?

Im gonna have to add some fantasy into my workouts.

I’ve never thought of myself as an athlete and while I’m mostly happy with that I’m also aware that my workouts have always fallen short of the sporty types around me. Dad used to force me to run a mile per day in all weather from age 11 until I moved out (he’d run behind me screaming) so looking back on it I suppose I was more active than I gave myself credit for.

Anyway, now I’m in my 30s and due to various life crises, actually truly sedentary. I just climbed a large staircase cut into the hill and had to actually rest at the top (context: no ailments or illnesses, just sedentary).

I’ve got to stop thinking “ffs can’t even climb stairs” and start imagining I just scaled the cliffs of insanity so I can feel proud of myself and not give up.

Hoping I can find joyful ways to move that aren’t the asthmatic cardio of my childhood. I think I’d like to think of myself as an active person one day.

Vanessa Hudgens: On Exercise

Vanessa Hudgens: On Exercise

If I ever get to the point that I’m not happy with my body, I’ll do something about it. You will always have the power to do something. Sometimes it will take a little longer than you would like, and sometimes it may be a little extreme. But if you honestly have a goal, you can do it. You just need to figure out the right way to get there. — Vanessa Hudgens, actress and singer
