Running is NOT Sexy

Of ALL the things that are sexy... Running isn’t one of them. There have been a lot of exercise activities that are or were considered sexy at one time:

- Tae-Bo. Billy Blanks!
- Working the Pole: pole dancing
- P90X
- Zumba. I said things that WERE sexy. It counts.
- Shake Weights. Okay, that one is questionable by any measure.
- Pilates
- Yoga
- PiYo(A combination of the two above)
- CrossFit
- Lifting weights
- ANY sport: Soccer, Basketball, Football, Tennis, LaCrosse, for pete’s sakes. LACROSSE.

Running isn’t sexy. It’s just there, some under-appreciated exercise, the bastard stepchild of working out. And yet it works.

You don’t need special equipment, or an eleven-man team, or crazy flexibility. You just need a pair of shoes. Or not, if you’re into barefoot running. You need commitment, an understanding of the no-pain, no-gain idea. That’s about it. Your form can be terrible and your ability awful, but you can run.

Running isn’t sexy. But it works. It will be there, waiting for you to get over yourself and your trendy exercise fads. Waiting for you to realize that no matter what is trendy and fabulous today, there is little that will get you in better shape than putting one foot in front of the other as fast as you can.

It’s patient.

You’ll come around.
