Exercise and Motivation

Motivation.....if you could bottle it you would make a fortune! We live a faster lifestyle now, work longer, and are more sedentary. It's easy to see why people can't seem to find the time or the energy to exercise. The funny thing about it though is that once your health is gone, it is only then that you truly appreciate it! With 1 person dying from heart disease every 10 minutes in Australia it does make you wonder why anyone could lack motivation. I mean, if you were told that you would be healthy if you set aside 10-20 minutes per day to focus on it. You would think its a no-brainer. With 1440 minutes in the day, its not much to ask. But people find it hard to get their head around exercise because they have these thoughts of pain and hardship, but all you need to do is walk. Not even power-walk, just a slow stroll. Just doing that may reduce your chance of heart disease dramatically.
