The Case Against Physical Activity
This usually revolves around, "why would I do it, If I don't have to?" "but, it hurts!" or even better, "I don't have the time." And any number of other terrible excuses.
But what the usual lay person doesn't understand is that if they felt what it was like to be fit, they would make the time, they would deal with the pain, and most importantly, they would want too.
What It's Like to Be Fit
It's like being at the top of a mountain. When you look around, everything is so beautiful, you feel proud of the great height that you've conquered, and if you've done things the right way, you want to climb that mountain again, or maybe even climb a higher one.

Many individuals are unwilling to get fit because they see the people that are extremely fit and feel as if they are expected to be just as fit as they are in no time.

Let's recap. The two major things that get in the way of people getting fit are:
1) Not knowing the benefits
2) Feeling intimidated by the ultra-fit and or getting hurt by taking on too much to soon
Therefore the predominant message that should be heard by anyone that ever thought about fitness is; you can start easy and the rewards can be great.
