Age and excuses go hand in hand. I think we evolved that way to protect ourselves from danger. The older we get, the more readily excuses fly from our minds. By the time we hit forty, excuses are automatic. We learn that with excuses comes a wall of safety.

The problem with the wall of excuses is that, they not only keep out the bad, but they keep the individual behind the wall from seeking out the good. Exercise is good. Deep inside I know this. We all know it. It’s hard, but it’s good. And in this day and age, I will always make the argument that exercise is necessary — but not always resistant from excuses.
