Now before I work out, I think, 'I love exercise,' and it works.
I've run my whole life - for more than exercise, for mental health.
I think it's really good to get the adrenaline pumping.
In the gym, people's enthusiasm tends to get the best of them. They realize this is their opportunity to say hello or that they love my work... It doesn't matter how profusely you're sweating.
People hate cardio. I hate cardio. But pick the five top songs that you love. Do your cardio during these songs, and you're done. I'd say 95 percent of the time you don't even know you just did it.
There's just something awesome about going all-out for 20 seconds and then stopping and getting to guzzle Pedialyte.
But if I go for a run somewhere, I feel the benefits of the endorphin release.
When I arrive at my destination, I like to hit the gym, as I find exercise helps combat jet lag.
I train very hard, either rowing on the cross trainer or running. Not only do you feel tired afterwards but it relaxes you, it completely clears the head. But to sort things out I also like to walk.
There isn't quite a feeling you get from playing video games that you get when you're playing sports, which is like a sense of euphoria. You just get the satisfaction of doing something active and feeling good after.
I'm a really active person. I feel gross when I'm not.
For me, music makes my smile brighter during my workouts. It adds that extra something that motivates me to go further or work harder!
I guess I compete in everything I do, but it's always good to get out and be active and find an outlet for all of that pent-up aggression you had as an athlete.
I was always a great bundle of energy. As a child, instead of walking, I would run. And so running, which is a pain to a lot of people, was always a pleasure to me because it was so easy.
I always said I was never going to be one of those people to Instagram myself in the gym. But as soon as you get into exercise and get a taste of how brilliant it makes you feel, you want to share it!
There is no greater anesthetic than sport.
Your brain will eventually enjoy exercise for exercise sake, right; endorphins and endocannabinoids will create a sense of reward, but it doesn't know that at first.
I've been told so many times that I should go to the gym to get my anxiety and frustration out. But it just makes me feel pure, concentrated dread.
You know, there's endorphins in laughter, as there are endorphins in running in the park.
I love working out, but I need my brain to be someplace else as my body does the work.
I don't know how people say exercising is addictive.
I want to know how to feel good while I'm in the gym, because I'm mad while I'm on the treadmill. I've got that angry-lady face the entire time.
Without exercise, I don't feel like my head works right.
I've been enjoying classes at the gym, where people look at me because I'm fat. At the end of the workout, they're sucking air and I've beaten them because I have more heart, because I had it much harder.
