Yes, I know I need to exercise, but I hate to exercise!<\/p>\n

I do, however, love to move because it makes me feel so good.  It’s become a daily habit; a discipline, just like flossing and brushing my teeth.<\/p>\n

I feel good when I have clean teeth.  I love running my tongue across really clean pearly-whites.  I love not having cavities like I did when I was a child.<\/p>\n

I feel good when I move.  I feel invigorated, energized, full of clarity and fresh.  This morning I went to the gym and did a half-hour on an elliptical machine while listening to music on headphones.  The time went so fast, I wasn’t ready to get off but I had to go.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been reading my newsletter, blogs, or book and videos you probably know how much I love to dance.  I dance anytime, anywhere.  Talk about joy! Check out my “Dancing Doctor Norris” video on YouTube, give it a rating and a comment and please tell all your friends to watch it.  Here’s the link: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=12s4xUgWCv0<\/a><\/p>\n

When I was overweight, it was hard to get moving – hard to overcome the inertia of my large size and heaviness.  So I started with just 10 minutes a day of walking.  That was enough, and honestly, it was hard to pick myself up off the couch and get going every day.  Once walking, though, it felt good.<\/p>\n

What do you do to move every day?  How did you get in the habit?  We’d love to know.  Please tell us by posting a comment below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
