Every year for the past 4 I have started a new, less ambitious exercise routine. I have stopped each because I got out of the habit after 3-6 months. I got out of the habit because I injured myself exercising and spent some weeks recovering. I’m not claiming this is inevitable or that I’m doing everything right and injuring myself regardless, but I am claiming that it’s not as simple (for some people?) as “once you get past your nerd-distaste, if you’re okay with doing uncomfortable things, it’s smooth sailing”.
