You know, sometimes we all do this—start off with the best intentions for our health, determined to exercise, but end up giving up after just a few days.

Firstly, don't be too hard on yourself, as this is actually a very common situation. Starting to exercise, especially for most people, is a challenge. We've probably all had that initial burst of determination, but as time goes on, motivation seems to fade away.

So why do we always struggle to stick with it? One possible reason is that our goals may be too idealistic or too strict. Sometimes we set too high standards from the start, making it difficult to achieve and leaving us feeling frustrated. Try breaking down the goals into small, achievable steps, gradually increasing the difficulty, which may make it easier to stick with.

Another common issue is falling into the "perfectionism" trap. We want every workout to be perfect, and if we don't achieve that, we feel like we've failed. But in reality, every workout has its value, even if it's just a simple walk or some basic stretches. Accepting your efforts rather than striving for perfection may make it easier to persist.

Yet another possible reason is a lack of motivation and support. Sometimes, exercising alone can feel boring or dull, leading to loss of interest. Try finding a workout buddy or joining a sports group, which may provide you with more motivation and support.

Lastly, don't forget to set realistic expectations for yourself. Exercise is not an overnight thing; it takes time and patience. Each step is a step towards a healthier, more positive life. If one day you feel like you've lost motivation, don't be too hard on yourself, try starting again, because every fresh start is a new opportunity.

So, don't lose heart, keep trying! Recognizing the problem and wanting to change is already a significant progress. With perseverance, you can definitely develop a habit of exercise and make health a part of your life.

There aren't many people with great willpower, and mainly, exercise is too tiring.
