I HATE EXERCISE!
“It hurts.”
“It’s boring.”
“I don’t have time.”
“It costs too much.”
If these words have escaped your mouth or crossed your mind, then this article is for you.
As the Behavior Coach and Counselor at Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Health, I can sing the virtues of exercise on your mental health until the cows come home. But, as a human being with a job, a family, expenses, and a list of injuries so long people ask me if I played in the NFL (nope), I can also empathize with those of you that find excuses much more readily accessible than the local gym. That said, I do my best to get there…and so should you. In honor of colorectal cancer awareness month, I’m sharing this article in the hopes that some of you can find a reason (or 20) to put aside the excuses and start moving toward a healthier you.
