I REALLY NEED TO DO BETTER

We've all got one or two things we know we ought to spend much time doing but yet don't for reasons best known to us. I've got some too, and it's somewhat disappointing when I know deep down within me that these are things I need and ought to inculcate but yet still play them down due to my nonchalant attitude or laziness, and today I'll like to share some of those with you.

One of such things is my weight and the need to indulge in a daily exercise routine in order to reduce the excess fat and stay fit. Unfortunately, despite all of my personal desires and thoughts on how I wish to look, I still find myself not doing the things I ought to do to make that a reality.

It's always annoying when I decide to workout within the house, and just 5 push-ups into the exercise mood, I'm already panting like someone who has lifted 500 kg of weight. I ended up giving up on exercise for that day due to how stressed out I usually feel after just a few push-ups. Some call it laziness, even though I think I'm not lazy, as I've on several occasions worked as a laborer with bricklayers in the past, and I know how stressful that could be. Well, I guess my laziness comes when it comes to my exercise routine.

I'm not pleased at all with how I'm not spending much time working out at all, and I can remember telling myself many things that could make me become serious with it, one of which was how I usually think within myself that if I have someone who workouts around me or a partner, then we can both encourage one another into doing it, but those are just lies because my roommate while I was in university usually works out, and yet I stopped following him to the gym after the first day; even the early morning juggling exercise also ended after my first trial.

I guess I'll just need to sit myself down and speak some sense into myself in order to stick to the plan and also understand the reason why I really need to bring down the weight and stay fit. Just yesterday I read about a 60-year-old Nigerian billionaire, Toby Elumelu, who spoke about how the decision he made 30 years ago to exercise and stay fit is now helping him. According to him, he didn't feel 60 at all, and some of the skills he performed while exercising in that video are things I know I can't do, despite only going above half his age by a few years.

I need to do better, I should do better, I must do better, and in order to do that, I might need to visit a gym and get an instructor who guides me on some of the few exercises I can indulge in gradually till I become addicted and can then try the ones I feel are too hard presently without breaking down.

That's about all of the things I need to spend more time doing than I'm presently doing, and it's in response to the Hive Naija community prompt.

Thanks for your support and time, have a wonderful day ahead.
