It's why I never stuck with exercise. It sucks and keeps sucking no matter how long you are doing it.
- jdechko 3y agoI mean, he was a professional athlete, so that’s kind of the point he was making. As you progress in fitness, it sucks less which means your body has adapted and you can go faster/ harder/ longer.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoYeah. But on the other hand, if you watch someone slowly decline in health because they did absolutely nothing to take care of their body, and then die more ignobly and miserably than they had to, solely because of that, it's a hell of a motivator to do another set of push-ups even when you don't particularly want to.
- solumunus 3y agoStrongly disagree. I used to have this opinion until I got genuinely very fit. Exercise is fun when you’re actually fit, in my experience. I never got the “runners high” until I was able to really push myself to (relatively) high levels of performance. YMMV
- scotty79 3y agoI guess the paradise is behind the plateau.
