Exercise

Exercise: bodily or mental exertion, esp. for the sake of training or improvement of health.

So I have never been the most 'exercised' in the 3rd grade gym class, but I have always been able to pull my own weight (except on the pull up bar, I hate the pull up bar.) But really, what is exercise? It is no secret that exercise is 'healthy'. But at what cost? When you exercise, it hurts. My body is clearly telling me "Stop stupid, that hurts me!" Yet, I continue to do it because without it I would not be able to burn the layer of fat in my body. But also as I continue to burn this fat and gain muscle, I am getting rid of the typical human necessity- fat.

Fat is what our primitive ancestors craved and aimed at gaining everyday to survive. Yet now, they tell us we need to survive off burning fat. Pretty ironic, I guess.

Whenever I exercise, I feel the need to do it alone. It is embarressing when someone is watching me squat the bar. That is why I am perfectly satisfied doing my exercise video in my basement. I don't want people judging me on how much I can lift. All I am aiming for is results. I want to 'get big.' In the typical teenager frontal lobic thinking, we are not thinking of how much time spend exercising will increase our life span, but how much better we will look now and how many more senoritas we will get.

So in the end, I hate exercising. But I feel it is totally a necessity to our survival. We can always acquire the fats from wendy's, and thats how we differ from the men in loinclothes. As much as I hate it, I still gotta go do it!
