Great post and so true! I started working with a trainer last November and the difference in how I feel and look is amazing. Old problems, bad shoulder, sore back, are now things of the past. Now I’m sore because I’m USING the muscles. I convinced my writer boyfriend to join me and he’s lost weight, feels better and looks great. While getting up the positive attitude to go to the gym to get my butt kicked still haunts me some days, I find I’m more productive, happier and sore, for a good reason. Of course, we also employ your other exercise ideas, except for climbing trees. I’ll leave that to the squirrels.

Solomon – Yeah, I know, it’s especially hard to make time for it when you feel like you should be working on so many other things. You just have to convince yourself all those other things will go more quickly and make up the time you took to exercise. Because they will.

Josh – Did you hear that, James? GREATEST AND MOST USEFUL POST IN THE UNIVERSE! I so win the office pool.

Adam – It’s okay, dude. The collective forces of MwP is not scheduling an intervention of any kind. Right, guys? ::WINK::

James – Dirty, nothin’. Sex can burn up to 200 calories an hour if – and I quote my favorite article here – you’re doin’ it right.

Tom – Yeah, frustration is bad. See my comment to Jamie above.

Print – Welcome, anytime.

Alex – It’s the most vicious of cycles.

Rick – Wild thinking, huh? Your house must be crazy on a Friday night. Thanks for the compliment!

Tony – Good for you. Do it again! And AGAIN!

WOW, this is actually really true! I went to the gym last night for my first time in about 4 weeks, and the first thing I did was get on the treadmill. Once I was warmed up, I started hitting the weight and well, long story short, as soon as I got home, I was on the move! I had a lot of ideas on my mind, so I wrote several drafts and I just wanted to get up and do something!

Hey Taylor,

There are some cross roads come to every work. And every person deals with it differently.

I deal with it in a positive manner. I think out of the box, I do some wild thinking, which is really cannot be applied, but eventually it makes my feel like relived from the tense thinking that prevents me from moving on.

This is a really thought provoking post.

It’s so true! The more I run and exercise, the more I write.

I especially find that on days I feel like quitting mid-run and I push myself to continue until I’m done, I also push myself to keep on writing until I reach my daily goal.

And then my excitement about my writing gives me energy to go out running again!

Exercise is really important. We need to be physically fit to be a well-rounded person. Thank you for sharing something like this. This will awaken the minds of people who refuse to exercise. Nice!

Very true, I often jog just to let my mind wander and escape the box. I find that the longer I sit in front of my computer while I have writer’s block, the more I get frustrated.
