This model is part of why I had such a hard time getting into exercise. Exercise was painful and embarrassing, so I never did it. So then, when I did try, it was painful and embarrassing. As much as I can, I try to not let physical pain determine whether or not I do a thing. That of course assumes that not all pain leads to lasting harm, which I think is true. My approach to cardio is still pain-centric. Or, malaise-centric I guess. The logic goesI don't feel good, I don't want to bike
Will not biking make me feel better? No
Am I going to feel not-good regardless? Yes
Better for that not-good-feeling to be productive than unproductive, go bike
