Getting moving

A few days ago, I was helping my daughter work through her physics homework.  Part of the lesson was understanding friction.  It turns out that it takes more energy to start something moving than it does to keep it moving.  In other words, the coefficient of friction (static) > the coefficient of friction (kinetic).  The author rightly pointed out that the same thing seems to be true in our lives when we want to get moving.  It has been a while since I exercised consistently.  I know that I enjoy exercise.  I know that I feel better when I do it.  With that said, it is hard for me to get moving.  I make excuses like "there is no time in my day."  Well, this morning, I mapped out my time and it turns out that there is plenty of time before work to get moving.  If I plan to spend 45 minutes each morning exercising, I will have plenty of time to get going.
