But, although you decided to pay those heavy dues to the nearest gym facility and did sign up for a whole year's program, you quickly got bored and in less than a month you were out of there. Don't get distressed. There are other things you can do with your free time and still get the exercise your body and mind desperately need. Most importantly there are three reasons why you should open the door and get out again.
