This post is only about exercise

Some days you will lift every weight
Some days you will stay in the target heart rate zone
You will believe that if you keep it up, you will see progress
Shhhh, don’t be scared
This is only about exercise
Some days the weights will seem too heavy
Some days your heart can’t bear it
You will fear that you will never make progress
You will fear that you will never be able to do
What you once knew how to do
But you will show up the next day
Or maybe the next
And you will start over
Because it is the only thing that can be done
Progress can’t always be measured
By anything other than this
That you tried again
Even after you thought
It couldn’t be done
This post is only about exercise
