Regular exercise?

     "If you don't challenge yourself, don't expect change to occur" is a great motivator in the gym. Yet, as we get older, we tend to feel spent at the end of a working day. We often just want to get home, have dinner, rest and recuperate. Activities that we once found relatively easy and excitingly challenging, now feel like an uphill battle.
     "What you don't use, you lose" is another motivator, not just in athletics, but also in neurophysiology. Every single time I drag my weary old body into the gym immediately after work, I quickly feel rejuvenated, and leave feeling great - physically AND mentally.
     We need to be our own trainers and sports psychologists and force ourselves to work out regularly - at least 3 times per week. We simply need to take seriously the instant and long-term positive feedback we get from our own body and mind.
