Try not to focus on what you are giving up, but on new options that you will have after you become more fit. Don't make exercise just another item on your to-do list. Connect to it on a deeper level. Educate yourself - The more you know the less likely you are to be injured or to get stuck in a rut. Use your time wisely - it doesn't have to take hours to achieve goals.
Greater intensity can improve results and shorten workout times.
