Building muscle and getting in shape is not all that hard. Being active does require consistency and dedication, yes. It requires focus and effort. And yes, it can get interrupted if your motivation wanes or you get injured. However, in the grand scheme of things, the only truly challenging part of exercise is just in those beginning stages where you're developing the habits of consistent training and proper nutrition. Once you've settled into a routine, it's actually something you'll enjoy doing almost automatically a good portion of the time. It's just another daily habit like tooth flossing or making your bed.
