Summary

Do you hate working out? Well, you're not alone. As former President of the "I f*cking hate running club", I get it. But something has to change. Last week, after reading this article. "Losing It in the Anti-Dieting Age: The agonies of being overweight — or running a diet company — in a culture that likes to pretend it only cares about health, not size.", my brain was in overdrive. Here are my two cents: Until we can help people find ways to get active that have nothing to do with weight loss, then people will continue to dread working out.
