In this strange new world, it's going to be harder than usual to stay fit and healthy, but it CAN be done.

Some days, however, even the most motivated people don't feel like working out. I have had days (and still do) where I would rather die than eat another chicken breast, and would sell my firstborn if I could just lay on the couch with several Creme Eggs, even though I have a very good reason to do the opposite. That's when dedication kicks in.
Committing to a task means doing it even when you don't feel like it (see also, Work or Marriage). Dedication is always linked to motivation, but goes that extra step towards action.
