People who get up early to run in the cold, adapt their schedules to go to the gym, push themselves to the limit in exercise classes, or cycle to work every day all have one thing in common: they don&#8217;t hate what they&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n<p> Purveyors of bogus fitness products sell a quick-fix miracle cure for getting in shape, but not only are they lying about the effectiveness of their products, they perpetuate the mistaken idea that exercise is a punishment to be endured, not enjoyed. That&#8217;s why they say things like &#8220;Just minutes a day&#8230;&#8221; Unfortunately, those who see exercise simply as means to an end rarely last more than a few months.<\/p>\n<p> How do you learn to love exercise? It helps if you start off by not hating it.<\/p>\n<p> <\/font><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/01\/01\/learning-to-love-exercise-how-to-adopt-a-permanent-lifestyle-ch\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Learning to Love Exercise: How to Adopt a Permanent Lifestyle Change<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/01\/01\/learning-to-love-exercise-how-to-adopt-a-permanent-lifestyle-ch\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permanent link to this entry\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/forward\/19291377\/\" title=\"Send this entry to a friend via email\">Email this<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/01\/01\/learning-to-love-exercise-how-to-adopt-a-permanent-lifestyle-ch\/#comments\" title=\"View reader comments on this entry\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filed under: Advice, Health, Fitness, Fit Family Guy The Pot-Smoking Hippie&#8217;s Guide to Your New Year&#8217;s Fitness Resolution You probably took one look at that title and said, &#8220;What the Hell?&#8221; The ganja-loving Beatnik I refer to is John Lennon, because the Beatle had some good insights that can be applied to your New Year&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1320,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-122409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1320"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122409\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
