where life meets fitness
“It has to be done.” A simple phrase, loaded with truth. Discipline is what keeps us consistent when motivation fades, but enjoyment is what keeps fitness sustainable. Because when the gym becomes a chore, progress is at risk.
Celebrities’ lavish wellness resources and disciplined routines can seem alluring, but access alone does not ensure personal discipline and wellness commitment. Self-discipline remains crucial.
The blog post revolves around a gym-goer’s experience of meeting a young man who had lost his passion for fitness. This lost interest came from demotivation due to a break in routine, a new focus on MMA, a discouraging dieting experience, and struggling to regain his previous lifting capacity. The author tries to motivate him, highlighting the need for persistence and normalizing setbacks after breaks in training. The discussion also touches on sustainability in fitness and the importance of balancing physical aesthetics with feeling good.
Why I consciously test myself during the ‘easy’ times.
Showing up is the first step, but is it enough to just show up? How much credit should we actually give ourselves for showing up?
We know that many people go to the gym and classes because they need the extra push and motivation. It’s tough to train from home, and we want to help you stay healthy and fit in these unprecedented times. Attend our live class streaming on YouTube for free.
It’s always different. Motivation hits everyone differently and changes over time. For me it began out of anger towards an abusive ex. A self-promise on a day where I thought I would die that I would never allow myself to be beaten again. And overtime, it became more.
I love my fitness, but it’s not necessarily the same lifestyle and journey. Not taking any credit and prestige away from competitiors, but I often find inspiration elsewhere.
Motivation or inspiration? Your inner will, reason, and drive to achieve your objectives and goals both in life and fitness. Is the difference important?
