Inertia, as I remember from Grade 12 Physics (9 years ago) and Wikipedia (35 seconds ago), is the resistance of mass to a change in its state of motion.
I generally don't have a problem with performing exercise - I love jiu jitsu and judo, and enjoy my time at the gym. Thanks to the miracle of the iPod, I can also deal with running outside (something I hated when I was younger).
I also enjoy the benefits of exercise, and the feeling of accomplishment after a hard workout.
The hard part for me has always been overcoming the inertia - the desire to crash out on the couch after a hard day at work, or to nap through a martial arts class, or to skip the gym in order to watch television (thankfully, I don't have cable, so this isn't a huge possibility). At the end of the day, I can still sabotage all of my good intentions by getting complacent and lazy. Everything else is manageable in its own way, but inertia can kill you, in its own way.
Below is my exercise plan for this upcoming week. By writing it down (I think, I hope?), I think it will be easier to plan for and follow, and harder to cheat. Here goes:
MONDAY

Jiu Jitsu – 7:30pm to 9:30pm
TUESDAY
Gym (after work)
WEDNESDAY
Gym (before work)
Judo – 7:30pm to 9:00pm

SATURDAY

Will update during the week with commentary. I don't think this is overly ambitious.
