When someone says “exercise”, I hear “gym or treadmill”.  Since for me it is associated with being uncomfortable, tired, and sore, I view myself as a “exercise hater”. I learned, however, that  gym  does not have to be the only depiction of what exercise is. Yoga or jogging between grocery aisles can be considered a workout as well! It is absolutely necessary for me to shift my mindset about what constitutes exercise. Once my image  of physical activity is different than the typical gym environment, I have a chance to become a “exercise lover”.  I successfully moved from the precontemplation to contemplation   stage in exercise!
