Hey there, welcome to Chasing Life.

Well, it's Tuesday morning.

I got to tell you, I just finished riding about 20 miles on my bike.

I'm very proud of that.

It's usually the best part of my day.

That's the thing.

I feel so good right after exercise.

Very hard to replicate that feeling. But I'll admit, it's not always

easy to get motivated to get moving, especially when it's cold outside, freezing winter

morning as it has been lately. Sometimes it feels easier to sit around and eat some food, watch

some television. And you know what? It's February, which means many of you are

a month into your New Year's resolutions, so you probably know what I'm talking about. This is the

time when the excuses, especially when it comes to exercise, may start to flood your mind. It did so

well for a month. Maybe it's enough to carry you over for the year, you're starting to think.

That's not the way it works. You're starting to suddenly feel that it's colder outside,

that you have too much work to do, that you're already exhausted from doing your job,

or that even hate to sweat, whatever the excuse may be. These are going to sound familiar to you.

So today I decided to find someone who's going to help you look at these very specific excuses and help you get over them.

It's not about knowing that exercise is good for you that's going to necessarily motivate you to exercise, but there's a lot of inner barriers, psychological barriers, to moving our bodies.

That's Dr. Diana Hill. She's a psychologist, and she's also co-authored a really interesting

book with biomechanist Katie Bowman. It's called I Know I Should Exercise, but 44 reasons

we don't move and how to get over them. Forty-four reasons, specifically. Today, we're going to talk about a lot of those reasons and how to get over them. 44 reasons specifically.
