Couch Potato

Is it natural to want to do a strenuous workout or is it natural to want to be a couch potato? I would say that for most people it is natural to want to be a couch potato. How many people wake up and say I really want to make my legs sore today? If you have thoughts that creep into your head that try to convince you not to workout that is natural. Our bodies always seek the path of least resistance and not working out is that path. What I have found is that if you can just show up to the gym and start your workout you will usually get a good workout. Showing up at the gym is half the battle. A great way to keep you motivated to workout is to workout with a partner or a group of people who can keep you accountable to your workouts. If you are ever lacking motivation to do your workout then remember this quote from Dennis Waitley "Failures do what is tension relieving, while winners do what is goal achieving."
