"Don't be lazy" I keep telling myself

I am supposed to do those physiotherapy exercises to strengthen my knees. It takes just about 10 minutes which has 4 moves each. But many a time laziness takes the better of me and the day passes without those exercises
I am determined now to force myself and go for them. Since I do not have pain I suppose that could be the reason. When I had that nerve pinch in my shoulder blade I went for that exercise as I had pain

I can relate with the way those things happen. I am suppose to do exercises for my left wrist, my neck and shoulders. I have a bad habit of not doing them as often as I am suppose to. I guess we both better get in gear and do our exercises.

As I was posting this discussion I had made up my mind and I did spend 10 minutes. 10 minutes is not much but as they say the mind is willing but the flesh is weak (lol)

Keep doing your exercise. It is easier now than if you wait until it hurts again.

Physiotherapy is not just for those who have had accidents. Even the healthy lot should do it as in one's day to day activity not all muscles are used.

My physiotherapist has trained me and I know exactly when I should do it and now is the time but as I said I have to force myself and I did exactly that this morning.

@allknowing don't do it forcefully , make up your mind that you will get better. At least after a few days you can do so

I forced it on me. I do not like to force anything but beggars are no choosers sometimes.

I can relate to what you are saying. I am suffering from Slip Disc and Doc has suggested me physiotherapy sessions along with exercise 4 times a day. It is hardly a 2-minute exercise and I always find telling myself that I'll do it later. To get myself up, I have to remind myself of the pain I went through when I initially had the problem and that becomes the driving force for my exercise.

You hit the nail on the head. Pain is the driving force. When it is absent our will disappears (lol)
