it’s ridiculous how good going to the gym feels
and frankly stupid when i compare it to how bad convincing myself to go to the gym can feel
Conversation

it’s worth mentioning that the pleasure of exercise does increase with capability
in the first months it can be physically grim, especially if your approach is one of forcing and pushing
with every year you get stronger, more flexible, more capable and exercise becomes play
