On Exercise

Something I just don’t “get” is working out.  There must be some switch in my head turned to off.  I never think “yeah I should lift some weights!” or “I could sure go for a run right now!”

I’m 6’1” and 139 pounds after a hearty meal, so I don’t need to exercise to stay thin or whatever, but I certainly don’t have “muscle mass” and I actually have high cholesterol, so exercise would probably be a good idea.  But… mehhhhhh.

As well, I feel like with just a bit of work, say for a month or two, I could be quite sexy, in a modest way.  I’ll never be a beefcake (nor do I want to be) but something in the range of Example A at the minimum and Example B at the just-maybe-possible-if-I-really-dedicated-myself level. (warning: scantily clad dude-pics!)  (I could even recreate Example A, I think I have that comic book!)

I think, for me, the best place to start would be just daily push-ups and sit-ups (I guess they are called “crunches” these days?).  I could start today.  Even right now.  But I didn’t sleep at all, and I’m hungry.  The excuses begin.
