I want to tell you something in the hopes that it might inspire you to kickstart a fitness routine or go to the gym today: I've never, ever regretted working out. I've never felt worse after than I did before. Not once in probably thousands of trips to the gym. Even when I was feeling sick, when I was deadly tired, when I was swamped with work. Not even when I sprained my ankle and was worried about making it worse. Even then I felt better coming home from the gym than I did going to it.

I've regretted things I've ate, movies I watched, books I read, things I said. But working out is one thing that has never let me down. After my best workout, I come away feeling strong, confident, energized. After my worst workout, I come away feeling satisfied that I did something good for myself instead of bingeing on a tray of brownies. It's made me feel at least slightly better 100% of the time, and I like those odds.

So quit surfing the 'net and go to the gym! You won't regret it either.
