It's this fear of discomfort
People have this extreme feeling
In their mind when
It comes to their associations with exercise
They want to avoid discomfort
They feel like any type of
Exercise is just like
Something to be avoided, that's not for me
F*ck that
I don't wanna sweat, I don't wanna strain
I don't wanna sweat, I don't wanna strain
A lot of times this
Association that they have
Is about the beginnings of getting in shape
It's not about once you're actually fit
'Cause once you're actually fit, then
You look forward to, it feels great
If I can't get a workout in
I look at my schedule and go
Oh shit, I don't have any time for workout
Which means
I'm not going to get that good feeling, get
Get that good feeling
And so instead of looking at it like, "Oh
I've gotta go grunt and sweat"
I'm thinking I'm not gonna feel good
I'm not gonna feel relaxed
I'm not going to feel carefree
Even appreciative, like my
Appreciation of things
It gets enhanced greatly after exercise
I just feel better

I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
Get that good feeling, get
Get that good feeling, get that good feeling
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
Get that good feeling, get
Get that good feeling, get that good feeling

It feels great to most people
Their associations are to avoid
Anything that's uncomfortable
It's so illogical
Discomfort is your friend, it really is
Discomfort, not being happy and
Content with certain
Situations in life, they are massive
Massive motivators
They're amazing at facilitating change
Yet our instinct is to avoid those
And just sit on the couch
And watch some fucking reality show
It's bizarre
When I would get really disciplined and
Really consistent with my workouts
I almost feel momentum
I feel like there's push behind
Me, like, all right, yeah, now I'm doing it

I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
Get that good feeling, get
Get that good feeling, get that good feeling
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
Get that good feeling, get
Get that good feeling, get that good feeling
Yeah, now I'm doing it
Yeah, now I'm doing it
I'm doing it all the time now
I'm looking forward to the next time
And it makes that resistance
Much weaker and it
Makes my motivation and my
Discipline much stronger
I think a lot of it is
Based on just the consistency
Blowing something off is not just
Bad for you physically
It's also bad mentally
Because then that option is now available
The option to f*ck off
You did it before and you're
Probably gonna do it again, and you'll
Get mediocre results, not just in
That aspect of your life
Maybe in all aspects of your life
That option to f*ck off, when you embrace it
That is a pathway that you
Might choose when it
Comes to dealing with conflict
In your personal life
Business, business decisions
Career decisions
Like an uncomfortable decision that you
Might be faced with
What your pathway is in life
But you don't do it instead, you f*ck off
And that inclination to f*ck off
That gathers momentum as well
The inclination to be disciplined
That comes with momentum
I think both things, you take a path

I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
Get that good feeling, get
Get that good feeling, get that good feeling
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
I wanna sweat, I wanna strain
Get that good feeling, get
Get that good feeling, get that good feeling
It feels great it feels great
You take a path or the path of the f*ck off
Your body is like a race car
That you can juice up yourself
You can add the fat car, you can add
Improve suspension
You can beef up the horsepower in the engine
You can do all that yourself
Or you can just choose to
Have this shitty body
No one's under the illusion that
You're gonna live forever
But you are enhancing the experience that
You're currently involved in right now
You are alive, you do experience this life
But do you experience this life optimally?
Is it as enjoyable as it can be?
And we all know that there's
A spectrum for that enjoyability
We've all had times in our life
Where it's not been so great
And then times in our life
Where everything came together
Like what a fucking great day, woo!
Great day, woo! Great day, woo!
Great day, woo! Make more of those
Make more of those make more of those
You can make more of those
And then the whole thing is better
And then the whole thing is better
And I think when that whole thing is better
It affects everybody you touch
Everybody that's around you
Everybody you come in contact with
That in turn, I mean, it sounds so grandiose
But in turn can affect the
Entire race of human beings
