Why Must I Go to the Gym Today?
Moving my body used to be the least of my concerns. Physical activity was as certain as my next breath. I hopped, turned, then fell to the floor and got up again, all before you might clap your hands. Now I fight a resistance, from God knows where, just to get up from my desk and drive to a lovely facility where I’ll spend the better part of an hour doing what I’ve always taken for granted. I could perhaps find just a little more enjoyment in my daily routine. After all, there are additional benefits to keeping company with the living, and to maintaining a body healthy enough I don’t have to ask my doctor if I can have sex.
