so why don't people want to exercise?

Not to be rude, but in my opinion they are just LAZY negating those who have valid medical issues. Both my parents were marathon runners and so I grew up around exercise. I gained ALOT of weight after my divorce when I was 24 and was about 250lbs of pure yech. After the divorce I moved in with my best friend and decided this is it, I'm getting my arse in shape!
I'd get up and be at the gym or out running EVERYDAY, (gotta look good when you are trolling for men) but really it was for me, I felt good.
But, EVERY morning, I'd try to get her to come with me but she just would rather sit on the couch, smoke her cigarette and drink her diet pepsi. To this day, she does the same, and now that she's had 2 children she's pushing 280lbs, and it's not muscle ladies. Anyway, her Dr took off her OBCP because of her weight and b/p and she was pissed. She said of course my b/p was up I had to WALK ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE parking lot. I love her, but it's pathetic to me. Take some pride in yourself, your body and your appearance.
Her 5 year old daughter asked when we were with them this weekend if she was going to have another baby and how come her tummy wasn't as flat as mine. I thought that might motivate her NOT, she said she'll just smoke more.
Sorry, to go on, but I have very little tolerance for people that will not even take a half an hour walk a day, ANYBODY can do at least that.
Even though my daughter is only 14 months old, she's in the jogger twice a day and as soon as we get the trailer she's gonna be biking with us so she knows exercise is a BIG part of life.
