I had to do a 15/30 workout outside tonight. I didn't have enough time to make it to the gym, so outdoors I went. Unfortunately, it was some kind of snowstorm! I'm pretty sure I was the only one out running tonight (there weren't even that many cars). It was freezing, so I tried to cut the rest periods and get done quickly.
Nevertheless, even a quick workout like this can make a difference. I feel more relaxed and had a chance to release some stress. A short, high-intensity effort like this will also lead to some adaptation.
I think this example can also illustrate the difference between children and adults in their approaches to physical activity. Like in the case of snow: kids play in it, adults avoid it. Though conditions were bad, I just went out there to have some fun with it. I even tried to chase down a couple cars as part of my sprint workout. When exercise becomes more playful and more primal, then motivation takes care of itself.
