On exercising

Two of my friends are part of an avid cycling group. They cycle about 20 km every morning and a longer route every weekend and do two long trips every year.

I have tried suggesting meeting for an early breakfast a few times and I have come to realize that their schedule is built around their cycling regimen.

The key to this discipline is that they really really enjoy their cycling.

I know this is not rocket science, but clearly, enjoying what you do is a sure fire recipe for engendering discipline.

There are people who subscribe to a gym membership and do not go, and there are others who show up at the gym without heed to rain, sleet or shine. I am willing to bet that I can tell you which group enjoys their exercise.
