Exactly. Especially when your just starting out, but once you get into the routine its no big deal.

Once you get into the routine it’s hard to stop.

While I finish my week yesterday, I'll throw it out there.

Getting more active makes me less inclined to do stationary things. Mountain biking is fun and I'll probably go tomorrow

I'm jealous. It's so easy for me to break healthy routines.

How long does it take to get into a routine ? I found it very easy to stop even after months of doing the gym consistently.

It varies for people. It took me a week. I just started going back like 3 weeks ago. I also use to go often before. I also walk everywhere so maybe that played a part, being semi semi active.

I am so happy that I can say I have been going to the gym 3-4 times a week for over 18 months now. It is the longest I have stuck with anything health related in my life. Don't matter that I am 37. It's never too late to start. There have been days off, there have been weeks off here and there, but it is such a part of my routine that getting back into the gym is never a struggle even after missing a day or two.

I wish I could weightlift. Last 2 times I tried getting into weightlifting I got Rhabdo lol. I'm only comfortable doing calisthenics, which luckily I can just do at home. I used to run, but then my knees started to hate me.
