Exercise frustration

[be still and know]

14. I do not like gyms. I have only been a handful of times in my life.

The last time they were starting the practice of disintecting the equipment between uses. It kind of turned me off. I like to be in fresh air when I move my body and not in a stuffy room. I realize that perhaps there are nicer gyms than I may have been to!

One thing I think is very helpful is to move on a daily basis. One of the reasons I find the idea of working out very distasteful is that (to me) it's not an organic part of my life. I prefer to take a long walk, but not just for the exercise. I have the goal of grocery shopping, for instance. So it's not just about walking in circles or walking with no destination and only for the purpose of exercising. It makes no sense to me that people drive their car to a gym so they can hop on a machine that imitates climbing stairs! And yet when they're out and about, they always take elevators.
