When you first start trying to exercise again after a long while off, it can be really difficult. Your joints are stiff and muscles tight and it can just be plain aaarrrggh! Our Christian walk can be like that too. Maybe you moved away from your relationship with God for a while or it just hasn't been a real focus. Getting back to a daily walk with God after that can require some work.
The trick with getting things back on track with your relationship with God is the same as with exercising. Start slowly. Most of us get into a guilt trip and we think we have to pay penance for our slack attitude towards our faith and we try to swallow great big chunks of the bible in one go. The problem with that idea is that once you get to chapter 10 of Genesis, you've probably lost interest again.
Take small steps but then keep the momentum going. Make it an exciting challenge and you'll soon find that before you know it, you are wrapped up in God again. God loves us and all he wants is for us to spend time in his presence. Isn't that what relationships are about anyway?
