NO

RIGHT NOW

RIGHT THIS SECOND

TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE

STAND UP AND STRETCH

TOUCH THE FLOOR, THEN THE CEILING

DO IT AGAIN, AT LEAST 10 TIMES

ONE DAY YOU WILL WAKE UP AND DISCOVER YOUR BODY IS INCAPABLE OF THIS AND IT WILL DESTROY YOU MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. THE DESTRUCTION YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW CAN ALWAYS FEEL WORSE, AND IT WILL BE INFINITELY SO IF A SEDENTARY LIFE DISABLES YOU

SO STAND THE FUCK UP AND DO THOSE FUCKING SQUATS

WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

I don’t know what inspired you to write this, but thank you. It has been over a year and a half since I’ve exercised in any real capacity. Todays plan was to do it today. As the day progressed it kept getting easier and easier to justify doing it tomorrow.

After reading this post it motivated me to push through the excuses and get on the stationary cycle. Thank you.

fr fam, it's fear >_>;

and the agony of lived experience

This year was a close call for me. I'm only JUST BARELY managing to get my life back on track.

It is precisely that alarm going off that got me to take the steps I've been needing to take.

This is the message I needed to receive years ago so when I see an opportunity to echo it, I do.
