    Can you imagine dancing as soon as you get up?

    Or practicing swordplay?

    Or punching a picture of Trump?

    People think of exercise as something you have to do; instead, find an activity you want to do.

      The first thing I want to do when I wake up is to go back to sleep. The second, third, and fourth through 180,000,000,000th thing I want to do is go back to sleep.

      There are only three things that get me out of bed: my dog is hungry or needs to pee, my body is hungry or needs to pee, or the annoying requirement that I have to work in order to give someone all my money so I have a place to sleep.

      You’re speaking from the point of view of a person who wants to do activities, or at least an activity. For some of us, any physical activity is repellent. Personally, I hate breaking a sweat, and I sweat profusely, at any weight or level of fitness. It’s why young me gave up on ballet; I was good enough to start auditioning for a corps, but nobody wants a sweaty swan. Now you have a point that putting on some music and dancing is less repellent to me than running down the street, but it’s still not whatchy’dcall FUN. And I still need a couple cups of coffee, a shit and a shower first, plus of course another shower afterwards.

        Once the body starts breaking down, it’s very hard to get healthy again.

        The best thing is prevention, and that means keeping fit.
