Attitudes are constructs and are difficult to define. Be that as it may, attitudes are very important for optimal living. Robert Sapolsky makes light of important research in his book "Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" regarding attitude.
"Exercise is stress reducing so long as it is something you actually want to do. Let rats voluntarily run in a running wheel and their health improves in all sorts of ways. Force them to, even while playing great dance music, and their health worsens."
Examine your attitudes and related motivations regarding exercise. If you want to extend as well as improve the quality of your life, "check" your attitude at the door.
