    Brushing your teeth takes 2 minutes. They tell you to spend a whole 30 minutes a day working out. 30 minutes of boredom, discomfort, pain and agony.

      30 minutes a day for a lifetime of feeling healthy and unlocking the opportunity to live a longer life… Also endorphins are a thing.

      This is a perspective that I’m likely too exercise-pilled to understand.

        Don’t worry I got your back. I haaaaaate working out. Every second of it. It’s miserable, boring, tiring, and gross and sweaty.

        However, since I started doing it I hate to admit that I am more energetic in everything else, I move easier, I’m not winded going up stairs, I’m happier, all the tripe they tell you is true.

        It’s not 30 minutes because you have to enjoy it, it’s 30 minutes that improve the other 23.5 hours a day

        i absolutely do not get endorfins from it, but something quite the opposite. i feel like shit and get anxiety. and before someone asks, i have seen a doctor and nothing was found.

      I have my noise canceling headphones, so working out is quality time listening to hot tunes, sharp music, rumbling rhythms and crazy beats while pumpin iron.
