Dick Hoyt was a self-described &#8220;porker&#8221; who had never run more than a mile at a time. Then one day, his wheelchair-bound 11-year-old son wanted to enter a 5-mile charity run to benefit an injured classmate. He struggled, but he managed [...]]]></description>

This post is part of the Fitness Obstacles series.

Any new form of exercise will be interesting for a while, as you master new skills and learn new techniques to perform it. Without some form of feedback, though, your exercise sessions begin to feel repetitive. You&#8217;re just going through the motions, repeating the same activities, and [...]]]></description>

This post is part of the Fitness Obstacles series.

Any kind of repetitive exercise just gets boring after a few sessions. This is a killer for many people, and they can&#8217;t ever seem to keep themselves motivated to keep up with the exercise. That&#8217;s certainly the case for me.

In the past I&#8217;ve tried swimming laps, walking/jogging, [...]]]></description>

If you have a family, run a business, or have other important commitments, it&#8217;s hard to find regular time in your schedule to devote to exercise.

Finding Time

Getting up at 5:30am seems to solve my Time- and Guilt-based aversions to exercise. I&#8217;ve found the extra half-hour in my day by simply getting up earlier, and so far it doesn&#8217;t seem to require me going to bed earlier at night. And I don&#8217;t feel [...]]]></description>
