What Annoys You About Exercise

As I was putting together my poll for this week, I made the mistake of asking my clients the following question: What annoys you about exercise?

As you can imagine, most of them spent our entire session thinking up new and annoying things:

"These stupid pushups! And dips! And the treadmill! And...stop me if you've heard this before."

"The way you always make an exercise look really easy and then I look like a total idiot."

"Cake!" Huh? "There's no cake at the end!"

Alrighty then.

The point is, as much as I go on about how great exercise is, I admit, it's also kind of annoying sometimes.

Especially on Mondays.
