You’ve been told a lie. You’ve been made to believe if you are not exhausted, covered in sweat in, and barely alive after a workout you are doing it wrong.
Fitness ads show oiled up, impossibly fit men and women doing things you could never dream of doing. They make you think you have to kill yourself every time, eat broccoli and chicken every meal, and then maybe you could look half as good.
Meanwhile, you dread going to the gym. You hate exercise and all the people who claim to like that torturous activity.
Here is a secret I will let you in on- exercise is a reward, not a punishment.
You were born to move. Your body requires movement to be at its best.
You should feel good after a workout! It is great to push yourself, break through plateaus, and test your limits. But here is the test- if you dread your workouts and don’t enjoy them, you will not stick to it long-term.
There is a mode of exercise out there that works for you. One that you enjoy and gets you results. It is your job to find out what that is.
